My '05 Z Roadster - Happy Camper that's me!

Just bought this from a dealer in San Diego and drove it home to Jefferson, IA (1900 miles).

Interior is nearly PERFECT and the car runs like a champ. Only 19,000 miles.

Body has a few flaws but nothing unfixable.

Has a clear bra - wish it didn't - looks like it was put on by an amateur - will prolly take it off.

Lambo doors are cool looking and the doors shut tight and even but you have to SLAM them hard. May take them off in future.

Top seals nice and tight and has far less road noise than the '88 Mustang LX Convertible I used to own.

Does anybody know what wheels these are on it?

They are in perfect condition and look great in person.

I think I saved about $3-$4K from KBB, Edmunds, NADA so I am a very happy camper!

CongratZ on the purchase - ZR will bring you lots of smilez.

(Not so sure about those wheels, tho.)

Yeah, the ones you need to get rid off...

lambo doors look good on a car with an aggressive body kit.. other than that:icon22:
congrats on the rest...

lambo's doors should be on a lambo or any other supercar. and big baller rims don't look right on a Z I'm pretty sure it rides like ****:icon22:

shawn_david75 Feb 7, 2009 04:34 PM

Damn, that car is super gay

oddjobbb Feb 7, 2009 07:01 PM

get rid of those wheels fast.:ugh::ugh::ugh::ugh:

Man - everyone is ROUGH on here!

Congrats on getting a ZR. The look of the wheels are subjective - I personally love the look of the stock '06 to '08 wheels - many others disagree with me, but that's OK.

The doors - very interesting.

Just remember - drop the top as much as possible and ENJOY!

I understand that the look is totally subjective, however in my opinion, you need to lose the wheels and the lambo doors... And I mean as quickly as possible. Once that is done, then you will be in business...

Wow you are correct about rough! Thank you John for letting me know that not all forum members want you to have their opinion or you are an idiot. I am on the http://rswarrior.com forum for my bike and the members there are very supportive and helpful, especially to the noobs, like your post is. Thanks again!
The car handles wonderfully and I do plan on dropping the top as often as possible.

skingy Feb 8, 2009 05:44 AM

good lord, is this the type of forum i just joined? if so, i'm finding another Z forum ASAP.

spector, i think your car rocks...because it's a zr, and because you loved it enough to buy it. personally, i love lambo doors - no matter what the style. but even if i didn't, i certainly wouldn't flame you for your choice. i'd say what i'm saying now:

'congrats on your new z - drop your top as often as possible and enjoy it even more!'

Rayysmans Feb 8, 2009 06:11 AM

We all should be happy for him for what ever ZR he get...let him enjoy his new ZR.. like we all did when we first bought too,,,congrats on your new ZR

There are a lot of members on here. You just have to ignore those that spend all their time ripping on people's rides just because it doesn't blend in with $4000 carbon fiber kits, twin turbos and high dollar Volk wheels.

Not everyone is like that. Some just need to learn a little manners and courtesy.

So welcome Spectatorbassguy and skingy! (BTW skingy, look for Michigan hook ups. We've got a great crew here. One of the first meets is in May at Dick Scott Nissan in Canton. Hope to see ya there.)

Spectatorbassguy, Congrats on the buy. Do you have pics from your road trip? What a great adventure. When I was searching for my ZR, I bought it in Orlando and drove it 1,100 miles to Michigan. (Not as an exciting route as the one you took.) But none the less, a road trip with your new ride is a blast.

Flick Montana Feb 8, 2009 10:12 AM

It was very nice of you to adopt this poor, abused car. Hopefully now it will have a good home with someone who loves it. You know, not many people would be as open-minded as you and take on a car in that shape. Well done.

:thumbup:

kenpo_350Z Feb 8, 2009 11:01 AM

Congrats on your buy I remember sharing your excitement as I did a 25 hour road trip to get mine! Don't listen some guys on here that just want to bring others down. Its what you wanted so thats all that matters.

Enjoy and have fun!

boardjnky4 Feb 8, 2009 11:15 AM

other than the lambo doors and wheels, it looks nice.

:tup: to saving cash
