I've been lurking for a while since I decided I wanted a Z. I picked up a white 05 Touring a couple of weekends ago. Very nice! No mods yet, but I wouldn't mind a pop charger, plenum spacer, and exhaust. I know most of you don't like the chrome wheels, but I think they're sweet.

Welcome.

Plenum Spacer should be one of your first performance mods. Best bang for the buck. Then you want to look for some test pipes, GOOD QUALITY exhaust system and a popcharger or 06 airbox with K&N Filter. Then get a tune. You will love your car.

Nice! When I read the topic I thought you were rolling on 20 inch spinners, LOL. Those stockers actually look good.

For the noobies, those are OEM chrome rims. These are NOT the ones cracking; rims are fine.

I literally crapped myself when I read all the threads about the chromies cracking during my lurking period. Digging deeper I found out it seemed to be confined to California and was the OEM wheels being chromed later.

Now I'm off to read through the COUNTLESS pop charger vs stock threads. There are wayyyyyy too many of those.

Thanks for all the welcomes!
