Default My New 350Z

Hey guys, been lurking a while and finally got my Z last week.

It's a 2007 Silver Alloy Enthusiast with a little over 40K on the odometer. Clean CarFax, K&Ns, Clear Bra and a few mods will be on later this week, as soon as the arctic blast clears out. I also share the same birthday as my car Feb. 5.

I plan on starting out with HPDEs, but it will eventually be a track toy prepped for some SCCA or NASA action.

Anybody got some Enkei RPF1s, BBK or anything track worthy they want to sell me?

I'll have pics up soon.

I don't have anything used, but if your looking for anything, just let me know and I will set you up the best I can. If I can ship it to OK you won't have to pay tax either.

Sooner350,

Welcome to the site and I like the color of the Z.

What plans do you have for Mods ? Exhaust, Dual CAI, TTurbo, etc... ?

Hope you can come own down for a meet or two when the spring or summer rolls around.

Slobra?

In terms of raw power and speed, Cobra will rape the Z without breaking a sweat, stock for stock. Once you start modding, the difference between the two will only increase as you throw more money at each car.

I wasn't comparing the 2 in true ability, more so in terms of what a "good" car is. It is a completely opinionated statement, I hate mustangs... comon you have been to the track with me, you know I hunt after them.

Troof.

I'm not a big fan of Mustangs, neither, but I do respect what they can do. I'll take the Corvette/Z06 over almost any other car any day, though.

+1 on the Vette Z06

I would take one in a second if I could afford to get one. But I wouldn't want to use it as a DD.

Then again....if I could afford a Vette....I'd be getting a GTR.

It is Very Freakin' Cold Out There !

Nice job... here is where you can get smoked reflectors.

http://www.courtesyparts.com/jdm-smo...tml?cPath=714&

But you might just want to throw some tint on them like the tails, because you have to remove the whole bumper to put them on. I don't think there is any other way to get to them while the bumper is attached.

BTW, where did you get the overlays for the tails ?

thanks i got the overlay from bluebatmobile at WWW.BLUEBATMOBILE.NET

also, you can get to the reflectors by removing the front wheels, and taking off the guards, it's kinda a pain to unscrew without being able to see where the screws are, but ive done it before also, i double checked the link, those reflectors are for 03-05 only. but thanks again!
