m4a1mustang's Z Ver. II thread: Project Déjà Blue

Apoc370z · 05-06-2013, 12:22 AM

i have to say... ******* love the blue!

m4a1mustang · 05-21-2013, 09:58 AM

I attended ZDayZ X last week and had a blast. It was my 4th ZDayZ and they keep getting better every year.

Here are some shots of the Z on The Dragon:

Driving Impressions: Fun and frustrating. These roads are always a blast to drive, however I was a little frustrated since the car is not at the level I am used to. It doesn't turn as well as the Mustang did so I was a little uncomfortable for the first day or two. It rolls over like a dump truck and plows like one too, but I think sway bars and more front tire will help with most of that next year. Pretty much no matter what you do the rear end stays planted, which is good, but it just needs more front grip.

Oh, the DS2500 pads and Super Blue were fantastic. I also got a ride with Alan from the Z Atlanta crew to check out his Ark Grip V2 catback... I'm definitely ordering it as soon as I pay some of my wedding expenses off.

Overall, I had a blast, and now have a game plan for next year.

Our car looks amazing!

I'm stealing these pics and passing them off as my car, since I don't have roads like these.

That's a first!
And I thought you weren't going to give us car reviews

Not a review. And it's not a first.

I was messing, and if it really isn't a first, that the Mustang handles better AND is faster, AND is cheaper, why come back?

Feel free to PM me if you don't want to turn your return into any other thread

Good choice with the exhaust, I heard nice reviews on it.

Haboob · 05-21-2013, 10:21 AM

It does look good. I really want to take a drive up North here where there are some twisty's.

However, I don't know that I could push the car like you guys did there... I still need to learn the cars limits and such.

I am definitely going to borrow a GoPro when I do it though.

m4a1mustang · 05-21-2013, 01:36 PM

dat blue doe!

Haboob · 05-21-2013, 01:38 PM

So, forgive my ignorance, but how does that drive work? It's obviously a public road, but is it shutdown for the event-goers only to have a fun drive in? Or do you still face oncoming traffic?

We face oncoming traffic.

There are no driveways or intersections on the road. It's just an 11 mile pass with 318 turns and lots of people out to tame it.

Awesome.

Nice to [briefly] meet you. I ran into you and the crew at the FVR gas station on Monday (or Tuesday?). It's all one big blur now. What an insanely good time ZDayZ is! I'm staring out my office window daydreaming about it now.. Countdown to 2014 has begun!

Your Z looks great, btw. Every time I passed you on hellbender or the dragon I was thinking "damn, those LEDs and that color look amazing". I'm trying to source a 2013 bumper now!
