Finally broke through the break in period and decided to write my observations so far regarding my experience with the Z.

B]Engine Sound:[/B] I have to say that once I pushed this car above 4000 rpm the sound that arose out of the engine was deeper and more aggressive that i would have thought. Below 4000 this car is purring, above that it growls in a mean don't F*** with me sort of way.

B]Shifter and Visibility:[/B] Shifter has gotten much smoother and so have I. I find the visibility out the rearview mirror to be good. I can see more than one car length behind me. Think of it as watching a letterboxed film.

Interior: So far the only rattle comes from the passenger side sun visor. Not a major problem and I will get it fixed soon enough. I am happy with the layout of the controls although I would prefer to have the the climate controls a bit higher so i can change them without having to cast my eyes downward. Same with the 1 thru 6 buttons on the stereo. Could be larger to make them easier to manipulate. The seats are awesome.

Driving: Hot damn!! Now that the break in is over I have put the car thru some paces and it is impressive. This is a different car to me now that i can push it further. Impressive acceleration and handling.

Well those are the major things that come to mind at this point.
I'm not a racer or track guy. These are the opinions of a guy who has good knowledge about cars and likes to drive his cars aggressively and in control. For me this car suits me like a glove.

So I hope this helps some of you out there.

Have a whole lot of fun and keep yourselves buckled in for the ride!!

 

Good review, Zbarrister!!

I can't wait to get my ride so I can post likewise.

Thanks Zbarrister, and for HTML I think you're looking for the < and > symbols to surround the b and /b. <b>Like this.</b>

 

Hah! I just noticed your new avatar!! That's killer man, and really classy. Do you find a lot of people know that a barrister is a lawyer?

 

Thanks old skooler...at least in my profession most people know that a barrister is a lawyer. Sometimes I have to explain it but the plate was too cool to pass up.

 

985 and counting. Will get the first oil change soon. Can't wait for the magic 1200!
