i think you missed the point...nobody said he should not have helped her... they jsut said it wasnt worth giving up as much of himself when he can help her out a great deal with out going through that hassel

Well, my FI DAYS may NOT be over now. I bought a Z06, but may have sold it, lol. The car was friggin awesome, but not nearly as fast as the Z, so if it sells this week, I am going NASTY fast with the 350z.

Updates to come!!! And not to worry, my girlfriend's car is back up and running, and everyone would be happier to know, that I just helped her get the money, instead of jeopardizing the car!!!!

You were going to sell your car so you could help your gf with the repair bill on her car, but you managed to buy a Z06 before selling your car? Why not just use the money you purchased the Z06 with to fix her car? I am sure the repair bill was a lot less than a Z06. Doesn't make sense to me, but ok.

what year Z06? your sig says 370whp so it must have been an older one. No way a hell a C6 Z06 would feel slow in comparison to your car.

My 350z had 358 whp uncorrected and 370 wtq. This was done on the Dynodynamics dyno as well, not an ego jet.

I ran the car (c5 Z06) at the track and it trapped 5 mph slower in the 1/8th, I would imagine that that would constitute a slower vehicle.

I wasn't looking for the car, but what happened was a guy had gotten hurt and lost feeling in his left foot, and couldn't drive the Z06 any longer, so I made an impulse decision, and bought the car.

Besides, we all are walking away happy, gf, myself, and the guy buying the Z06 from me.

That doesn't make sense. You might buy a new car a year or more after it was manufactured and you are telling me it is the manufactured date. I don't think so. You got hosed the last time.

Plus the warranty goes for so many moths or miles which begins with the miles on the vehicle when you purchase it. Of course if she bought it used maybe there is no warranty left.

You are a stand up guy. If your gf dumps you, something good will come back to you later. Good karma.
