Cool thanks for the info .. These 04 Zs are just super cool rides this is my 04 stock at COTA in Austin TX on the F1- track ,its hard to see me I am right behind the silver V-12 in front ,I was doing 140-150 + Mph and could if had the nerve to have gone way faster . I was hitting rumple strips bringing the front tire off the ground just like the big boy racers .Just saying these 04 Z one hell on a HOT ROD .. All stock..
