The flux capacitor is located under passenger seat, they tend to break very easy on these cars so you'll need to keep an eye on it.

I hate when this happens. Doc Brown is not too easy to get a hold of these days so it can be very frustrating. Good thing I have my skateboard.

thanks guys, ill post some pics of the beast after i take some nice ones of just the car itself, the weather has been bad for the last few days. One of the happiest days of my life is when i drove that bad boy off the lot i originally was gonna buy a new rocket, but went with the Z instead, and i am definitely happy with my decision.

You just bought a car and ask if there's anything you should know about it? It's a......car? What would you like to know?

the 2008 hr hood is not that great. it tends to have paint chip. PPW is worst of all. If u have could you should sell it to me and buy some other hood.

yeah as in what are known problems/easy upgrades to prevent problems(like the paint chipping) or to improve performance... and just anything about the car really. is the plenum spacer for the older Z's only? stuff like that is what i mean by asking if i should know anything about the car.
