Thumbs up My Last Magazine Article of the Z

Well, I figure this will be my last major post as I am looking to sell my Baby to pay for my more expensive toys.

Anyway, the last major article on my Z has finally made it to the online medium. Turbo Magazine shot pictures of the car last September (over 1 year ago) and finally managed to slip the car into their lineup for their October issue (it is the same issue with the 1000+whp supra). Unfortunately they did not include the main cover shot of the CF front in the online version, but it’s better then nothing I guess.

Check out the article if you want to here:

http://www.turbomagazine.com/feature...rbo/index.html

or just check out the pics here:

http://www.turbomagazine.com/feature.../photo_01.html

And for those that have forgotten what my car looked like (it’s been away for soo long) here you go.

P.S. if you know anyone that is interested in buying it, feel free to send them my way. And no, before you start Abui, you are NOT getting my seats.

Congrats on the article, the pictures look good and that was a beautiful car. Sorry to see her go but the GTR is just silly, can't wait to see what you do with that.

Thanks guys. I have definitely put a lot into the Z over the last 4 years. It has been pretty awesome being on the leading edge most of the time, but I think I have had enough for the time being. With my travelling, its just not making sense to keep up all the work involved in keeping the car progressing (not to mention the money it takes).

It took a long time to get the articles and that was really the last thing I wanted to achieve with this car. Now, I think it is ready for someone else to take on the challanges to stay at the top of the Z performance chain.

I will not be parting out the car. I won't go through that. I spent too long bulding the car to see it torn apart piece by piece. I am looking for around $45k.

Hey Brent,

Your car has helped to inspire me on my build. I will pick up a couple copies of this article with hopes mine might get some kind of recognition one day. I wanted to make it out to Z dayz and see your car in person but that didn’t work out.
Hope it goes to a good home if you let her go.

Sad day in Z town when BamBam's Z leaves us... hopefully a Mid A'er will buy it so we can at least see it every now and then. 45K WFH! Thats giving it away. Its the ORIGNIAL GANGSTER Z no doubt!

wife and I are considering the new CTS -V if not... I may have a little cash if the car is here next summer!

Good luck and I still need to get my bronze azz in the seat of that GTR. I have been putting it off because I know I will be at the dealer signing paperwork if I do... but now that I have a son and his future to plan out and pay for... maybe I can restrain from buying one...lol

Thanks guys. I would like to keep it, but with me most likely staying overseas for a while and having 2 other payments, it seems like this is one that needs to go the most.
We shall see, maybe if I nothing comes up, I might keep it till spring/summer and I can sell the Elise instead and keep her. Who Knows.

As for a ride, Corey, you know where it stays, ask Md or Rob sometime. If the weather is decent they might take it out. I really prefer it to stay mostly in the garage thrugh the winter cause it was not winterized, but it has to come out every now and then to keep everything in shape. NO DRIFTING!!!!! ;-)
