Got to check out my buddies new '09.. w/ pics

One of my buddies got his '09 recently. We met up and I took a few photos. The new spider wheels look even better in person!! The JSB is a beautiful color. I was lucky enough to take it for a quick spin... compared to my stock '06 Z the exhaust is louder at idle and the shifting is both smoother and just slightly shorter. The ride feels smoother too. The ebony leather wrap is sweet! Power wise the '06 is quicker of course....

Here are some of the pics.

they both look great. the chrome on the 09 kinda kills it for me so i would have to go with the 06 in the looks department.

dont know why, but i always thought you were an old retired fart

OLD RETIRED FART

It's funny how we all put up pics of our cars and none of US.. so we dont know what any of us look like or how old we are...

I agree! We should begin a thread of Post YOUR pic and your ride together so that we can see how many pups we have and how many ol' farts....

I think his JSB is deffective though...all the JSB's around here ran laps around VR's...

I love my comp greys!!! I am not a chrome or polished fan. But to each his own. I do think the chrome looks better on JSB then comp grey... just my 2 cents worth

I think the JSB and chrome look perfect together and for some reason I like the chrome better on the spiders than the '08 wheel I have. I guess I'm a really old fart but I can't stand the current trend to dark wheels. That's why they make all kinds I guess. Keep some of us cranky people happy.
