Bump because awesome

Sent you a PM as well with my homecycle winding down already I'm trying to knock some things out!

 

Anymore updates on this? :/

 

Since the OP has not updated this thread in over 17 months and purchased a Z06 in June, I think this project is dead in the water. Or it's just plain dead- who knows? Maybe he'll come back on and explain...

 

the poor Z is sitting in a field, bare chassis, its now a nature preserve

currently tearing down Z06 for more power, never can have enough

 

In a field you say? I'm pretty close to Cincy.

 

Just curious.. why did this project get dropped?

 

Bought a 2006 Z06 for my new toy, now I am tearing it apart

 

Were there any factors in the deconstruction of your Z that made it less attractive to put back together as a track car?

 

No, not really, I always wanted a C6 Z06 and the opportunity came up. Plus I am friends with one of the top vette mechanics in the country. I would be dumping a lot of money in the 350z and still would be no where near my Z06. Not overall price, but component price, my Z06 is cheaper. Should be finished in a few months, numbers will be shooting for is NA, 600whp and 550-600 ft-lb torque. Should end up around 3000lbs. It just had an alignment and corner balanced and on order a set of toyo 888. So, should be a fun track car, and I dont drag race.

 

No question, the Z06 is a superb performer, but this thread obviously generated a lot of interest (13 pages). You got to the point of measuring the Z for a roll cage and the next thing you know, it's become a planter in an empty field! You obviously put some sweat equity and thought into making it your track project...than abandoned it. Did the gumption tank just run dry? Any thought of selling it to another member who might be interested?

 

Yeah, kind of what I was getting at. I realize you have a new toy, but all that work on the Z, though..

 

Bottom line, only have money for 1 car at a time.

I stripped the Z all the way down for my down payment, haha.

Plus I enjoy working on cars and stuff like this. All work done on Z was by mine, so not out any money really.

 

Have you considered selling it at all or handing it off to someone who would appreciate it and be able to build it into the track car that it was intended to be?
