Ya sorry I don't really know what I'm talking about when talking about engine mods.... but were you driving on 290 today?

If you don't need 5 real seats in the Z replacement you should take a look also at bmw M6... you can find used ones for less than an M3 or M5 with less mileage and less owners.
The only bad part of the V10 beemers is maintenance even with a friendly shop.

I might be just me, but I think that the PZ meet is too crowded...
I prefer smaller car meets where people who actually know one another...

It isn't just you. They are entirely too crowded. I've only been to two and that was because some friends were going.

PZ is a good meet...yea it gets packed if you show around 10pm but if you want a for sure spot show up at 8pm...

and yes it is a drive from the woodlands and kind of late but you dont have to stay all night...show up at 8 and then bounce at 10 when it starts to get crowded...
