Most of the locals 370z's were quite functional...we all rode out together. Beautiful cars, most of them were boosted

They're making room for their upcoming car to go head to head with FR-S/BRZ (or other smaller/cheaper cars).

I reminisce the old days. When the 350Z first became available in '02-'03, part of the attractiveness of the Z was the performance at its sub-30K price. It was even called the "poor man's Porsche."

Any of you local guys interested in a set of 17" stockers from my 03? I pulled the rubber off this weekend and will be putting them on Craigslist soon if no one needs. They have less than 10k miles on them, I just kept them around incase I needed a track set to powder coat and thrash on.

I'll clean them up and get pics up soon... in the Frisco/Little Elm area but can drive within reason.
PM me a price. TY!

related to paint chips - there are a few places that sell track wrap around dallas - its better than painters tape - i guess - although not as cheap 0 but somewhat less time consuming to put on - and its clear - http://www.speedshieldusa.com/

here is a pic of my z and a headlight of my subaru -


I call my car the poor mans porsche - and probably will the entire time i own the car which will probably be forever -
