Jesse (is sad his Z will be a victim of his cost cutting)
If cost-cutting is your only reason for selling the Z, rethink. Your net loss will be a waste. And you'll be sorry.

True, but that's $500 more per month I could be putting into a mutual fund. Some things are more important and to make a change like this, I've got to make some sacrifices.
I'm finishing up replacing the engine in my '91 300ZX this weekend so I can start driving it instead of the 350Z. Then I'll pull the supercharger, put the car back to stock and sell the SC and car separately.

I understand. I have a certain amount of admiration for your determination to sacrifice and move on.
Man, when I think back on how much I left behind in pool halls, I could have retired 5 years earlier.

Did you see the one on Fox a day or two ago? It was pretty cool. High wing, V-tail, prop. I guess it's being used on the Mexican border.

That's the Shadow. It's pretty small compared to the Hunter. It's got a singe rotary engine in the back and the V shaped Elerudder.
CNN came out to our flightline a month or so ago. I never did get to see the segment. They interviewed me, but I don't know if I got on TV or not.

When you say rotary engine, do you mean Wankel type rotary or Gnome type rotary?

I was actually out running around for awhile, but left my computer on the page.
I'm still in early, though. I'm tired. Worked last weekend and late several nights this week. I'm going to watch a DVD or something (translated...fall asleep on the couch with the TV on).

At least you'll still have a ZX. Nothing wrong with that. What kind of supercharger do you have in the 350Z? I never driven a supercharged one. How much quicker is it?
