Had my my Z stolen last week
It was a downer Easter weekend for me because I had my Vortech SC Z ripped off last Thursday night while it was parked in my driveway and I was asleep.
I talked to my dealer on Friday and there are no Zs in inventory across Canada that are equiped like mine so it would be at least a three month wait plus of course I wouldn't have the Vortech.
Now I have to start thinking about other options but I don't know what to buy that will allow me to have similar performance without paying 30K more.
So far I'm leaning towards a Mercedes-Benz SKL350
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just a suggestion but why don't you wait for a 07 skyline? I know it is a bit of a wait but think of the feeling of having a new skyline...
Ok so it will probably cost double but good time to save up
