That' s a lot of mods, and could effect daily driving in comfort, fuel economy. All depends on what your use is going to be.

It'll be weekends, mainly and good weather, bit of touring hopefully.. I'm hoping it will be like a standard car unless you step on it

I like it. None of those mods would keep me from driving it as you describe.

Comfort? Overated..... Mileage? Who cares??

It looks like it might have been setup as a track day car based on some of the mods. I would just make sure it has enough cooling capacity so it doesn't overheat in traffic and drive it. Fast. LOL

make shure they can prove all that stuff is on there. that list looks to me like somebody went over a few catalogs and copied what he saw. (there are no springs made out of titanium and why would anybody want hardened pushrods, the size matters.)

I find nothing about that car that would prevent it from being a daily driver. While my car is not totally modified like that, it still has a good amount of mods done and I drive it all the time. It still gets great mileage, rides comfortably and is going on 155k reliable miles. Buy that car before you lose your chance, unless the price is unreasonable. Looks very good too. I have the same wheel on mine.

Thanks guys.. Yes I want to see receipts hopefully for the work that's been done, it was done in the US by sounds of it.. Hopefully in one shop, we will see I will post back when I get info..
I think the guy is in the US airforce and stationed over here, so he may have brought it with him..
Good point on cooling, spoke to a guy over here who has a charged C5 and he said with the SC going in airflow round the engine .. I have a C5R splitter on my current car I'm going to transfer, that has effect temps.. So need to watch that

Nice looking car but who would buy a black one.

Best of luck if you decided to purchase it. Looks like a fun driver to me.

I do like a murdered out look.. I missed out on a nice black Z five years ago.. Bit gutted... Ironically there's another pro charged one potentially for sale .. A Le Mans edition.. Check that out too..

What do you guys think roughly, I'm looking at for

Torque
0 to 60
0 to 100
Qtr mile

Just approximately ? I've really not got a clue... Std Z is impressive enough... I think with this clutch getting clean pull off could be interesting !!
