Just picked it up on Saturday
I finally have it. I picked up my CS Touring 6speed on saturday morning. I love it. I have spent so much time on this site since I put in the order that when the salesman was giving me the walk through I was teaching him things. The car had 10.2 miles on it and everything was perfect, not one scratch. I got then to throw in a copy of the Lust, Then Love book too.
It was a beutiful day for a drive, (even though I would have been out driving in a hurricane if I had to). I love it (I know I already said that).
I guess they must have fixed the problem with the Bose system, or my ears just aren't fine tuned enough to hear the problem. The system sounds great.
I have managed to have good will power so far with staying below 4000rpm, but I can't wait for the 1200 miles to get here.
On Sunday I had a B-BQ to unnveil the car. It felt like a carnival with everyone lining up for rides. But it didn't bother me a bit, I love showing off my car.
Did I mention "I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!"

Congrats Sherman
I still have to wait a few month
Then I will get it when winter starts. I guess it will be hard to see the car standing by the house and not driving it due to bad weather

Sherman and Marhot,
For the next month or two you both will develop something called "garageitis". Typical symptoms are...going into your garage several times during the night, finding things to do in the garage that you haven't thought about doing in years, organizing shelf space for things like car wash, wax, paint protectant, micro fiber towels, distilled water, etc., etc. Don't worry, these odd behaviors are normal. If married, I would not suggest you sleep in the garage unless your wife becomes so tired of your love affair with your Z that she exiles you there.
Enjoy the ride!

There is great passion for this car and the people I've met that own them are incredible as well. Come join us for some fun. Not only that, it will help you get to 1,200 miles much quicker.
Here is the link to the flyer, but also check the thread in the northeast region to give you an idea of how exciting a day it will be.

Hope you can make it and good luck with you car.

question for Sherman
I also live in NJ. I plan on buying a tour fully loaded within the next month. I was curious where you got your car from. If you could share your experience with regards to final price, dealer comparisons, and anything else you can think of it would be much appreciated. thank you....

Ahhh...1200 the magic number. Finally got there last weekend. Although I did my best to keep it under 4g, ocasionally I'd get the red light going. Ya think this car is fun now? Just wait, this thing has an alter ego. It's a whole different car above 5g and up.
Just a little something to keep ya awake at night! Enjoy!

A couple of times this week I've hit between 4,500 & 5,000 by accident, but boy did it start sounding sweet.
I CAN'T WAIT --- QUIT TEASING!!!

The list price on the window sticker was a little under 35,000. I also go the extended warrenty and lojak, so my total was a few thousand extra. They gave me the loan at 4.99, and I did shop around a better deal and couldn't find one.
Good Luck!!!
