Welcome to the forum. Do you own a Z, or still shopping?

I bought my 6spd Touring Z in late 2003 (it's a 2004) in Chrome Silver. I have multiple suspension, brake, wheel, tire, intake, exhaust and engine mods including a Turbonetics single turbo kit. It dynoed (on a Mustang Dynometer) at 366 to the wheels and 335 lbs of torque. It looks stock, with the exception of the fact it's lower than most. NO Body kits, spoilers or other weight adding bling!

Prior to the Z I had a VR4 Twin Turbo, and Acura NSX and a Lexus SC430. I bought the Z because I am into performance and modding and the list of aftermarket products is endless!

Do you still own the NSX? That is one of my favorite cars.

Nope, the NSX is gone. I bought it new in 2001. It was my dream car for 10 years. My wife absolutely hated it and refused to ride in it, hence the trade for the Lexus......which I proceeded to hate.

Tell me how to post pix and I will gladly do so (of the NSX, VR4 and Z. I don't have any of the Lexus)
I'll also be happy to post the dyno sheet fopr the Z.

OK, I just figured out how to create an album and put the car photos on it. It's called "My Cars" (not very orininal I'm afraid......) Let me know if you can access the pix.

Create a Photobucket.com or the like account. Load your pics there. With each pic it will have an "IMG" code, cut n paste that IMG code into your posts here, and you should have working pics.
