Hello,
This morning when I started my 23 Z manual Performance I heard this sound. It was the first time the temperatures had been in the mid forties overnight here. Any ideas what could be causing this or where this could be coming from? It sounds similar to a bad bearing to me? I will see if...
To be honest at my age and where I am in life I don’t really care what people think when I’m spending my money. If you don’t like whatever it is (in this case Z) don’t buy it. Like I stated in a few other discussions I was a BMW man owned 5 of them. Unfortunately they lost their way in my...
For some unknown reason the $3.00 a bottle Ripple didn’t taste as good or refined as the $300.00 a bottle Dom Perignon! Who the heck would have thought?
I got hooked on German cars while stationed in Europe and for the longest was a BMW guy having owned five of them and also Audi and Mercedes to boot. It’s sad how much money I’ve wasted on cars wish had that money back now! Also like you I am not really a brand loyalist. I’ve owned cars from...
Now that I’m a little older and wiser I learned to put things into perspective. Reviews are just one part of the puzzle or research I use when purchasing something. I also have a rule of thumb to always take at least 24 hours before making any big purchases. When it comes to cars the most...
I normally don’t keep vehicles very long after payoff. There are exactly two I wish I could have back. My 1991 BMW 318i and 2008 BMW 135. I won’t make that mistake with my Z it’s a keeper unless I really starts having major issues. Like many have stated it’s more of a GT and is a very...
Good detailed explanation, I know just a little about Beltway traffic. I was stationed at FT. Belvoir for a short period. Where I’m at now OK, I have seen exactly three Z’s in the wild, besides the dealers lot. The first one I saw a black one in early 24. The second was at the dealership when I...
This will be my absolute last reply. People will of course always try to justify why they purchased X instead of Y and that’s OK. Once again most people who make performance mods are not worried about replacing the bumpers or the seats first or even at all (maybe if it’s a dedicated track car...
Nope you’re absolutely wrong. The NZ has upgrades that make it a better car can’t deny that! The question is the price difference worth maybe 15-25 percent gain in performance that will only be noticeable on a track? I guess it depends on the person.
My point is you threw in the seats as being...
Not many folks I know consider seats an essential part of performance. In other words I never heard anyone say my first mod to make my car perform better is trading out the seats. Have you?
It’s all about the money! To cut cost they probably should have detuned the SZ to maybe 350HP along with the open diff save most of the money on performance differences between models not on comfort options. To not offer heated seats and other basic comfort options is crazy Hyundai offers...
Tech could actually mean almost anything unfortunately that word has been used pretty loosely by a lot of companies.
Proud retiree of the U.S Army. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I got to see the world and more importantly gained discipline, dedication made friendships that will last...
There are somethings you just can’t discuss, politics, religion, sports and Performance vs NISMO cost points. Like I stated earlier if the NZ had a manual I probably would have sprung for it then, but it didn’t so that ship has sailed.
Now after driving my PZ and looking at the upgrades you get...
