Default Another new guy

Picked up my 2008 in Silver Alloy on Sunday...only thing I can say is it has 51miles on it today and I am looking forward to the weekend to add a few hundred to the odometer. Traded in a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline with every bolt on upgrade they offered (all 4 of them) CAI, large throttle body, smaller supercharger pulley and front strut support. It would not hold a candle to the Z. I feel like I upgraded from coach in a DC 9 to first class in a 777!

Congrats on your new ride. Got any pictures of your Z? Would love to see pictures, although it looks like every other unmodded Z.

Thoughts of mods are in my head, but i will wait until after the first 5K. CAI is first, I bet the sound is incredibly sweet with dual intakes. My 17 yr old son has twin turbos on his wish list and wants me to modify my will to include giving the Z to him ;-)>

Thanks to all for the nice welcome and I look forward to engaging in the community!!

Emeryville? Ever been to "Kimono My House?" (For those of you with funny comments, it's a Vintage Japanese Toy Store!) Congrats! Post pics when you have 'em?
