Bye Bye Z

spearfish25 · 05-21-2013, 12:39 PM

Well, the time has come that I let the Z go. She was aging, we just had our first baby, and I needed a more practical car. The Z was a fantastic car and I still love it. Wasn't easy seeing it being driven away. I've enjoyed this forum immensely, benefitted from all those who contributed, and hope I've helped some people along the way.

Here's the 'more practical' replacement...all 556HP.

2013 V-Wagon with manual trans and all options checked.

Nice! If you have to go practical that's the way to do it.

Mitco39 · 05-21-2013, 12:55 PM

556HP... wow.

VCuomo · 05-21-2013, 12:57 PM

Wow, nice new ride!

XwChriswX · 05-21-2013, 12:58 PM

j/k

Sorry to see it go, but I think you will still be ever so slightly more pleased with the TQ/HP increase.

JARblue · 05-21-2013, 12:58 PM

Sorry to hear

I'm just glad all your DIY threads/posts will remain

That's one hell of a beastly wagon, that's for sure. Enjoy!

Is that the first gen with the LS7, or the newer one with the super charger?

Those used CTS-Vs are getting so damn affordable now. Much want.

kenchan · 05-21-2013, 01:18 PM

wait wat?

TheGreatOne · 05-21-2013, 01:34 PM

That is a beastly upgrade!

Shame to see you go, I thank my lucky stars that with our baby I've been able to still keep my Z,

Thanks for all the contributions! I've used many

chrischhorn · 05-21-2013, 02:08 PM

My next move also

but I'm keeping the Z lol. I can't let this little lady go! I was undecided between the wagon or sedan. I love wagons but unable to decide if I'm a fan of the styling yet.

fonzo179 · 05-21-2013, 02:10 PM

Dually impressive! Looks like the kind of car that makes you feel like a million dollars each time you drive it!

Jasonle · 05-21-2013, 02:13 PM

Very Nice!

First gen was a LS2 or LS6 option I believe, but this version is the LSA with a supercharger.

Also, for those looking check out the first couple years sedan as they are cheap. The coupe & wagons are a bit more expensive because there are less of them.

to see the Z go, but

on the new car, dare I say in certain ways it's an upgrade.

Tigger · 05-21-2013, 02:22 PM

Very nice. But you'll be a Z fan forever.
