🙌 Delivery!! I’m picking up a Z Proto 6spd

[takemorepills]

I just don't drive the Z's in the winter...stored. I drive a 2005 Subaru WRX and yes it has a few rust spots.

That generation of WRX is notorious for rust, especially the rear strut towers.

My wife had a 9-2x daily driver, she was going around a sweeper and the rear strut shifted causing her to spin out.

 

[Z hope]

You know what I'll have to ask my Bride if she wants to sell it. I bought that 3 years ago and spent many hours restoring and upgrading it. I even have a permanent scar on my forehead while installing the leafsprings

That makes the price go up.

Congratulations!

Never said it wasn't his money. Hell, he could buy 10 horses for all I care

I used to own 10 ’s.. back when I was Amish

I could see that. I just changed my struts so that is okay now.

@71zman First of all congrats!!! And please tell me you tested the speakers. Is the Bose upgrade as garbage of a sound system as some reviews are saying? Big audiophile and really interested.

I turned it all the way up. Fade to rear + 2 notches…treble up +4…bass +2. All
The way up to max volume.. played Santana, Loverboy, Avicci, Pavaratti,
John Prine etc etc.
Etc etc.
Sounded perfectly good to me. Although I think it could be louder

It’s his money my man. To each their own.

That’s extremely reasonable. I would go for it if I had the opportunity. I can’t find anything for less than $100k or so right now.

Can you let us know if you’re experiencing that previously reported 2nd gear crunch? Even a hint of that is a deal breaker for me.

No second gear crunch. So far…120 miles

More than reasonable for a limited production run Z. Hell I would buy one if I could find a proto with only an $8500 mark up too. Nearest dealer in my area wants $75k on top of the Proto MSRP.

So one Proto for $130k + tax or 3 base Zs with money left over for some mods?

Please share some things you've purchased so we can judge whether we agree with what you paid.

 

[Z06fan]

I must have misunderstood you then. My bad.

Yeah, like the rest of us, you must have misunderstood his judgement of how someone else spends their money .
