Default Sorta new guy with pics

Not a new member, had a 97 Nassau blue coupe a while back. Then got into a 350z, now I'm back to 'big dumb v8s'.

Picked up this up from sailohio on here a few months ago. It's an 02 6 speed with 28k miles. Has a corsa touring exhaust, vararam, lowered a bit bla bla bla

Getting ready to make a cam\lt order from texas-speed to wake it up a bit. Dynod 325/342 with the old haltech intake.

Nice car; nice pictures -- I added them to my "screen saver" directory for future use!!

Just curious, why the move away from the 350Z? I ask because I have the Vette, and my wife has a 2006 350Z Roadster. Yes, the Vette is our "big" car!!

Both are great cars, have completely different driving personalities, and I enjoy them both.

Thanks for the add to your folder As far as the z... I had a vette then wrecked it a while after owning it. Decided to get some more experience with RWD before I jumped up to a vette, so I got the z. Did some work to it; exhaust, springs, sways, wheels, gps, etc. And I drove the car for 4 years and loved it. But my heart was always with the corvette. So 4 years later I'm out college and in my job and made the jump again. I miss the z more than I thought I would, it was a great car and a really fun car to drive. I may have kept the z had it had a targa top. They are making kits for ls1 swaps for it now, so I would have had the best of both worlds haha. One day I will own another z, I'm thinking about picking up a 240/280 to restore and do a SBC in, that would make for a really fun car. haha
