Gongrats, great car and color choice. Since you didn't post a photo folks can look at my QS Z

Now start modding that puppy. First mod should be a steering column lock by-pass for $55. Then go from there

Tom

PS: QuickSilver is the fastest Z that's why they named it "Quick"

Pics will be posted soon. My car is sitting at Matson Navigation Shipping in L.A. waiting to be loaded on a ship and sent to Hawaii. Could be 10 days to 3 weeks , but hey I have been waiting 10 years to buy a vette, what is another 3 weeks to wait to drive it.

Thanks Steve.
