Default Hello from PDX!

Recently picked up an 09 Z06 with 13k miles which is incredible! Last car was a Lotus Exige set up for the track, and prior had everything from S2000’s to BMW’s etc. - this is a complete change for me and a great one at that!

The car is mostly stock apart from wheels and tires which I’ll be looking to sell / trade for OEM or more standard fitment .

Has the 2LZ package but will be ditching the NAV head unit - how do they build a stereo in 09 without an AUX source!?

Have the sump / tank worked scheduled for December, and maybe coil overs. Other than that, maybe some sideskirts, new front discs and perhaps a set of Recaro’s.

I joined Honda-tech back in 2000 so not new to forum life

Sold the silver one, then got a blue one, sold that to Hiep’s cousin, then got the Lotus.

And yes, still driving barefoot

Welcome! I think those wheels look great! Beautiful car!

I didn't even think you could own a V8 in Portland.

Thanks all for the welcome!

Regarding the V8 in Portland comment - I’ll skip that for now and head to the race track which is in the city

Small world for sure. I've got a few more things to do on my car and hopefully will be back out doing track days with the BMW club next year. I'm sure I'll see you then.

For sure! If you’ve got any recommendations on local shops to use, other than AR I’d love to hear about them.

Also if you have any thoughts on the stereo situation and changing it out.
