OK Chris you win. Haha
My favorite Z is the one my garage, but that guy Brandon's Z looks so killer. We were just on the topic of stance and to me his is sitting perfect.

haha yaahh! i finally decided i wanted to go herrafrush. I was looking at the five axis s5:f with some good concave, but i fell in love with the gram lights. My Z is modded with enough taste, to where if someone wanted a friendly off the line or a 60 roll, id be able to handle it. But, in the end when i picked up this Z i had made my mind that the goal for this one was to sound good, look good, and still have that "umph" if i wanted to down shift and gas it for fun

most definitely, I look at the 370 and I TRY to find good in it but damn its hard, the hood almost bubbles at the top and the @ss is love it or leave it, and it just forces me to walk away from it like a ***** in church, no one wants to be electrocuted (sp? lol) but then on their interior they fixed so many things that it pisses me off, which then of course furthers my hatred. The glove box more useable trunk, but then it brings me back to the idea I had when I got the Z. I wanted something quick where my date and I could go and I would be forced to carry very litte which would take away from its performance. So in the end she is perfect. I think I may take a pic in my parking lot here at work and attach to my sig
hey can you guys do me a favor and post shots of your rides, I know we have a forum for that but since you are my locals I'd rather separate us here.
On a different note I'm thinking about finding some wider rims, even with my itty bitty power my 275s on 9.5" wide rims is not enough.
hey AllstarE4 any thoughts on sway bars.
lots of random in that post

^^ Haha you're right, lots of random in that post.
As for the sway bars, I was really pleased with my Hotchkis over the stock bars. Whenever we finally get a meet together I'd like to check yours out.
I'll try and find a pic on my computer and post up. There is a thread for that, but this is the lounge so fack it.
As for the wider rims, I hear ya. But what tires are you running? Makes a big difference there. I had 275/38/18 Kumho ASX and they were $hit with a capital $. I threw on some 245/40/18 Nitto Invo (used at that) and got alot more traction. The 245s are going to the front of course, but that was just the way things went down that day. I'm also running 9.5 square setup.
In the future I'm going to get the 9.5/10.5 staggered wheels, but for now I'll deal with 275s on the 9.5.
edit: You pulled the classic move of the guy that requests pictures, but never posts one himself. LOL

I did do so Eric. 
I didnt know it was gonna rain and on my way back from Winstar going 60mph I hit a puddle and the Z got sideways and slide off the freeway. Fortunately, I slide into a bunch of vegetation. Just need a new front bumper and a skirt. Could have been a lot worse. Pretty sad about it but I decided make myself feel better by trading the 09 G37s in for a new white 2012

and I'm looking to change that. Its seems with the sway bars there is a lot of rotation, like I can step out at will on a corner
so true right...haha I will I need to hit the parking lot
