looks great! what are your garage dimensions?
I'm thinking about a 15x27 or 15x30 now. Assuming you lose about a foot with framing and drywall that would put usable space to about 14x26 or 14x29. I'm also thinking I want to do a scissor style truss so I can maximize height in the center of the garage. I found measurements for the Z online today. Based on what I see the car is about 6'x14'. Assuming the above measurements I should have about 3.5' on each side of the car and about 12'-15' feet at the front and rear to play with. Assuming another 2' for a work bench and storage at the head of the garage I should have plenty of work space all around the car.

Wiggins, one thing to make sure that is in the budget is to make sure to have an insulated garage door. Here in Austin Tx. with the weather, temps can get as high as 105*plus and that is not factoring in the humidity and can get below the freezing mark. On days when it is hot, I close the door and open the door to the house and put my fan to pull out cool air from the house. In about 10 minutes the garage is as cool as the house is and do the same in the winter when it is very cold outside. So make this a must, you won't regret it.
