well while that is partly true, i think its all a matter of taste and needs.
no Doubt the z06 is a sweet car but G37 is also pretty nice. Value wi$$e, I believe they are about the same, with the G37 valued a little more but when it comes to raw performance its the Z06 all the way but maybe not in the comfortability or design esp in d interior.
So like i said earlier, its all based on wants and needs.

Most people buy a corvette as a have fun car or I have reached tht entitlement age in my life car, either way it still has to be practical in its uses. ( personal vs family, kids vs no kids )

wow - gorgeous car!

this is probably a dumb question, but when taking the "A C U R A" letters and the "CL" off the back, how do you patch the holes? is there a link somewhere you can point me?

amazing work. the car looks great!

Lol yeah. I got on there when i had my 89. A complete POS. Didn't even put like a 100 miles Om it and had to junk it. But no. No plans for 2jzs not any time soon.

Tough crowd there. But I'm also one when I'm on there. Good luck.

Yeah, the older gens aren't that great, (at least from what I have heard from people who have owned them) there is however a dude who races at the track local to me that has a 2jz swap in his, and from the way it sounded I think he had ripped out the stock twins for a single. IIRC before that model came out they were called Celica Supra's, and then toyota decided to split the names and make them two different models.

You should feel better knowing that your car donated many parts to help keep others running.

No real updates on the Z yet. Upgraded the entire sound system and thats about it, new set of rear tires, and some minor stuff but that was all a few months back.

F150 has been great. minor stuff here and there. but over all, love it. Ecoboost is awesome if thats what he is looking at. Get compliments every where in it.
It does have rough transmission shifting issues every now and then, and i think there is a fix for it which i'll find out once i take it in for service.
