My Buddy with the BSS has a GTO ironically as well.
It is nice having the backseat to throw your crap in I agree
But you also keep your Z cleaner, because you have no-where to go with it
Wow I average 24.6 with the 6spd..and I dive my car pretty good
Yes Mine is a lease as well..

I actually go to a small meet in Milford on Thursday nights
Give me a call if you want to meet up
Its a domestic and import meet, usually more imports..but not by much
Love to meet you.

I'll take you for a ride in my freak too!!

Anyways, a buddy of mine was at one of the last meets I went up to and brought his black SS... very nice truck, and pulls pretty hard. You should come up to one of the next meets with yours and I'll see if I can get him to show up. Don't know if your truck is modded but gives you a chance to compare parts and experience. He's over on trailblazerss.com; if you're out there you may have talked to him already.
What's his SN? I may have talked to him or know of him. Mine's not modded at all performance wise, but just small stuff here and there.

Sean350, I LOVE how my truck shifts, it shifts very hard and firm. I've driven the Z and I never really had too much of a problem with the AT, but i'd love to personally drive the stick myself! Datona Jess, wanna let me take a test drive with ya around the block? I'm not the disrespectful type, I'd just personally like to feel the powerband while holding gears.

The one thing I didn't like with the AT is the auto stick would sorta bang into gears, you'd feel some rear end clunk here and there.

Take care all.
Hey man. I'm pretty sure that was me going north to the movie theater up there. Saw Die Hard at 7:40pm. Although, I am in a Lemans Sunset, I did get a flash back. Good lookin out for the fellow Z enthusiast!

Mike, never had any of the clunking other than the rear diff occasionally while going into reverse (not uncommon....my Cobra did it too). I don't even use the auto stick part because it's not instant enough of a shift. It does better shifting for itself in that regard. Would just like 'em a bit snappier. The $100 TransGo kit I put in my ex's '95 Mustang GT had it barking second gear.

Hey BobaFettm,

That Z of yours is gonna be sick with that new trans redo. Just wondering if anyone has had the chance to drive the new 2007 Z?

I was reading on the forums that many people are complaining that the newer Z doesn't sound as good as the 03 04 05 models...lol...could that be to less fu kn tire roar?? or did they refine the engine and restrict the exhaust on it somehow?

Are those things a lot faster than the 04-5-6 models??

Take care guys!

Derrick,
Glad to see you are getting your trans worked on!
I can't wait to see that thing again!
Yeah Dil told us about it a little while ago, dang shame...
I don't know why he is selling it

Albop, I have driven an 07 and I thought it sounded nice..
It is for sure peppier, but I didn't think it sounded bad....

Well it rained pretty hard in Canton, sprinkled while I was at work in Novi, looks like we're still on for tonight. Sounds good Aj, I promise i'll be good. To be honest, i'm not disrespectful. Infact i'll probably granny it. I just wanted to go for a ride. I don't wanna get too mind-****ed...lol

It was good meetin you too Mike!! Thanks alot for lettin me take a spin with ya Aj, I really appreciated it! I'm REALLY not sure what i'm going to do now!

I don't know if anyone had heard but I hauled *** on the freeway on-ramp and was doin atleast 100mph onto the freeway, I eventually caught up with Bob (BMW 335i TT) and we were zipping in and out of traffic, it was alot of fun but he totally took off. I got limited at 135mph, couldn't go any faster, I was disappointed lol. I'll get those pictures up tonight or tomorrow morning, keep an eye out! I'll upload everything for a while, right click save as, and AJ, let me know if you want the full size images, i'm going to photoshop them a little. The wheels were a little dirty hehe.

Okay, worked on a few pictures, figured i'd post em up! I only got Mike's z-fly by on YouTube (LOL - it was a easy site to upload, usually I just use my own upload space).

Enjoy the pics! Also Aj, let me know if you want full size (3264x2448 resolution), I can get you those copies for your wallpapers since these are small.
