best part of the job was getting to know the ZR INSIDE and OUT. I guess you can call me a "ZRPro"

so im looking at an 08 Z now...very similar to how the ZR looked when i got her. But this time i will be going major aftermarket and modding the heck out of it...i may...just MAY deliver on the title of the thread but dont hold me to it yet, im just talking to different paint guys to see what i can come up with.

imo, it's a big mistake to own one of these.
it'll cost you more money in the long run. you are better off buying normal z roadster

You looking at a '08 Z - or '08 ZR? Going to a coupe after a Roadster? Say it isn't so!

Whatever you get - show us some pics of it in original form....

Thanks

I hope you don't lose money on your swap.. too much skill and time invested to be losing money!

wish I had your skills.

The wheels are what trips me out... Don't think I have ever seen a Z that looked like this.. BTW - I have 4 Touring 06 OEM wheels (w/o TPMS) "Reasonably priced" and needing a new home - if you think you might need them then PM me.
