Very Nice!

Love the Z, but ooh!  Show me more of that Lotus!

3rd this. Still own a 2008 350Z and love it. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it’s a great car for the price.

The issues you listed are only seen with track use, in legal street driving none of that is a realistic concern with these cars. Any car you are thinking about using on the track, you need to evaluate and make upgrades (brakes, tires, cooling, etc.) to prevent problems. A ‘90s Toyota or Lexus included. In this case,…

Depending on what you call “opening the motor”, it can. But, the only way to get that much power from one with the stock bottom-end is turbocharging. But those VQ’s are stout, no need for new bottom-end stuff (pistons, rods, etc.) until 500+ hp. To get to 450, it’s new fuel pump, rails and injectors, turbo and all the…

I think it might be about the weight of the car. The Z “feels” much heavier (no idea how the curb weight actually compares, can’t be bothered to look it up, but I wouldn’t be surprised just due to the engine weight).

Have you met our Lord and Savior the CTS-V Wagon (manual of course)?

A Salvage-titled Saab?  You and Tom have both been hitting the CP.

That’s like the official state vehicle of Vermont, he wanted something unusual.

Seconded on the follow-up posts, but I doubt a GTI is cutting it for keyboard and organ-hauling duty.

He actually did list a keytar in his inventory.  This might be your dude right here!  (It also might not)

Very nice. That’s not bad at all, just some failing clearcoat.  You’ve got years before that needs to be addressed.  Nothing like the OP.

That is a terminal case of rust.

That just pops you down to the ad that is appearing where the comments would be if they would load.

I heard it was injecting a bright light and sitting in disinfectant.

Sex Panther. It’s made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good.

Maybe it’s a Funny Car, and the whole body tilts up to admit the driver.  Doesn’t look street legal in any case.

Definitely a wheelie bar.

This here.  Licensing requirements and driver education is the real crisis, along with distracted driving, which is related.

I’ve called in a few to 911, like the guy in the pickup barreling down I-5 guzzling beer and tossing the empties out at other cars on the freeway. It was like a old episode of CHiPs, I swear. Couldn’t believe my eyes.
