Name: Ryan
Live: Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Occupation: Freelance Web Designer/College student (Major: Visual Arts)
Last Vehicle Modified 98 Honda Accord Coupe EX V6
Reason For Buying Z: Passion, looks, incredible car for a very reasonable price. I wanted something more sporty, with more HP, and I wanted the feeling of having my own NEW CAR, many of you know the feeling, I will in 22 days! I wanted a manual b/c I'm sick of the automatic I have to put up with in my Accord. Good car, but after 3 years, it's time to move on.
Going to MOD the Z? I'm sure I will slightly, it's in my blood to modify.

What did you drive before?
99 Cougar
Why are you getting the Z?
Love the looks, finally a car that goes 0-60 in under 6 that looks good (I think the WRX is the ugliest car on the road) and is affordable.
Are you going to modifiy the Z?
For sure will put in aftermarket sub, head unit, speakers. Might install DVD player into the NAV area in the dash. May add bolt-on performance mods depending on price and effectiveness.
