if you look at the reflections in the first pic it is very apparent which car has the best shine (since this was early in the day & it's the pic when they are the cleanest)

oh where do I start , been having problems with the car since day 3 of owning it , everything from replacing transmission to feathering to radio , you name it I had it , car was in service for total of 90 + days...
currently , dealer was changing my flywheel and clucth , they completed the job but when I drove it off the lot I heard noises at low rpm's... I returned to the dealer and they had to change my tranny again... they did that but now it seems like the new tranny needs to be replaced again..
Im trying to get my money back for this one and get 2005 ...
long story , now I feel sad again...

Sounds to me like the jokers never changed it out in the 1st place.
I'd have another dealer take a look at that bad boy - esp. if they had it for 90+ days & still gave it back to you fudged up!

Sorry to hear about your problems, lbsohk1. Is there a lemon law you can get them to replace it? I saw some posts from people in CA had it done. Or would the dealer be willing to give you a good trade for a 2005?

Thanks Buff. Originally, SB was (still is) my 1st choice because it is stunning when it is clean. That won’t work for me because I was born lazy. Then SS and CS were my 2nd and 3rd choices. But it seems every other Z that rolled off the dealer’s lot were silver. When I saw the ppw pictures posted by aiko last year (also referenced in a current thread), there is no turning back. It is not a popular color but it hides dirt a lot better than I would guess. As a bonus, I like it too.

I may be further than you think, in Canada. Just found out how to change my signature from a different thread today. Let me know if you plan to head north with your SB, it would be really cool to hook up.

CANADA?!?! I was thinkin' that you were in Chicago!!!!! I'd be willin' to meet somewhere in Indiana - if you were from Chicago!

Does it even ever get warm enough up there to have the top down? (without the heater on high that is!)

I will have to yak with SluggoZ about that one - may be a tough sell though - I've never been in that neck of the woods.

You do know that you can come down here & enjoy our WARM weather any time you like
