History:
The primary use for the car was as a daily commuter (14 miles round trip).
The only mechanical failure was a cracked turbo oil line due to a manufacturing weakness. It was covered under warranty and they also replaced the turbo (they were concerned it may have been starved of oil due to the leak). This was performed at 42,965 miles (1/7/08). So just a little over 21K miles on the turbo. I still have the paperwork for this.

I do all my own maintenance and have all my records. All recommended services are up to date.

The car was taken on track a few times for some non-competitive track days. Never had an off or any issues on track. I went to 6 events total. As a result of the heat in the brakes, the calipers have turned a golden brown color. This is only cosmetic. No issues, no leaking. The car was not thrashed on track. I always concentrated on being smooth and took very good care of the car before and after events.

The car was also used for autocross for roughly 1 season. Again, no issues as a result.

The only major flaw on the car is a dent on the right rear quarter panel. This occurred the first time I was backing up my motorcycle trailer. Apparently it can make contact with the car when cutting at sharp angles

It happened at ~2mph. I don't believe it would cost much to repair but I just haven't taken the time to do it. Purely cosmetic damage.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks

The car is a blast to drive. In fact, I have a feeling in the back of my mind that I will regret selling it. My girlfriend is mad as hell that I put it up for sale. She's not a fan of the Z for some reason

the Z is a different animal... I used to have a Cobb'd Evo X... for some reason I found myself getting crappier as a driver w/ that car... It just did all the work for you... Kinda turned me off on AWD cars w/ computers but I drove my buddys STi recently and its much more car and driver but not NEARLY as much as the Z. With the Z its just you - the gas pedal the tires and the steering wheel. It will obey you as long as you dont abuse it. And look wise - it grows on EVERYONE

puckshaw · 11-09-2009, 08:18 PM

That definitely makes me feel better about this move. I enjoy a challenge behind the wheel. Oh and the looks grew on me instantly. The Z is gorgeous! Thanks for your input
