Half the cost of the new one is in my motor alone. Plus mine makes 550hp, new one doesn't.

And like you said, you want mine, not the new one. I like my body style better too.

I like the Volks on your car. I put a set of LE37T's on the wife's Infiniti. Simple yet very nice wheel. One question: Why no center caps? They make some nice ones as well.

Awesome. I've always wanted a Z32 TT. If they weren't 2 seaters, I would have bought one.

I like all cars for what they are. This Z was designed in the 80's, and it still looks good today. I am no ricer, this was built with the intention to go around the track fast. No "ricer" shows for me.

Those a great cars - and I like what you have done with yours - my only complaint is that they tend to be heavy - and they tend to burn up brakes - even the stoptech (while the calipers are nice - based on the brembo's - they never put enough meat into the rotors for the Z.)

Nice, my best friend in high school had a 1986 300Z, then sold it and bought a 1991 300ZTT, it was sweet.

I have always had a soft spot for those, but man, they were dang complicated back in the day.

Wow, that car is sano. Really nice. Do you track it?

Don't worry - anyone who thinks that car is rice is either has no idea what the term means or is trying to get a rise out of you.

Very cool...I am a long time Z owner. I love a beautifully done Z32!! Nice Aerocatch hood pins too...how come no under hood shots? Do you ever go to the MSA show?

I own the daddy and grandaddy of your car:
The dad (shooting for 450whp this Spring at 22psi)
