Sad day. So long Z, it's been great.

NS370Z · 02-28-2014, 11:11 AM

Sold my Z today. Flat bed truck arrived and took her away. Less than 7000 kms and extremely well taken care of. Sad to see it out in the nasty elements but it's no longer mine. The new owner is going to get a super well cared ride that wasn't hacked or modded, only Borla cat back exhaust.

I have on order a new Torch Red C7. I always wanted a V8, my father should have never let me drive his vette. I guess I can now be that old guy driving a vette LOL.

Love this site and learned a ton from doing oil changes to all of the Z's idiosyncrasies. I'll miss it but pop back in once in a while to shoot the breeze. So long gang.

A few pics of her being taken away. Sad moment but a new door opens.

That's tough. The new C7's have awesome performance. You'll love them. Best of luck!

Thanks, the C7 will be my first North American car since I think a Dodge Daytona back in the mid 1990's and I don't have fond memories of that LOL.

Cars will come and go, so don't feel too sad. Once you get in your new C7 and get to drive it you will fall in love all over again!!!!

Mr&Mrs · 02-28-2014, 11:30 AM

I can't say I feel anyway but happy for you. The C7 is a great car.

Thanks, yeah I enjoy this site. Lots of knowledgeable folks and many interesting characters. Very little if any BS between members and most of the time very respectful. Can't see doing a lot of mods, I ordered the factory performance exhaust with it. Might think about headers, tune etc but nothing serious. Should have plenty of power. What I like is the torque profile, gobs of it down low. That's what I like for a street car.

Yeah, just my opinion on the modding.

It's a personal thing only. If I was buying used I'd prefer a car that was as close to stock as possible. Nothing against mods, just not my preference when buying used. It's like a blank slate for the new owner.

Congrats on the C7. It is a nice car. I'd make it louder, put nicer wheels, and get wider tires. GM needs to work on getting the bad rap off of Vette ownership. It is a geezer magnet. Don't mean to offend anyone - that is just the perception out there.

I heard it is good and loud if you put it in track mode. I know what you mean about the geezer magnet LOL.

Good stuff. The new C7 is sick

IDZRVIT · 02-28-2014, 12:28 PM

Good choice on the C7. Thinking about a Z51 2LT. Local purchase for the C7? Trade or private sale?
