Just sold my VR4 for a Z06

hey guys, ive been reading this forum for the past few weeks now and i do have to compliment everyone on having a wonderfully informative site with a minimal amount of BS. I recently sold my 1993 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 for a 2002 Electron Blue Z06. I was at first a little skeptical about selling my car because i had spent well over $16k on aftermarket performance upgrades so it was no slouch in the speed area, but after driving the Z06 for one day ill NEVER regret selling the VR4. Ive never been in a car more comfortable to drive, but yet still has the power to dominate anything on the road or track. So far the car has a Vararam Intake and a Hurst Short Shifter, but i do have future plans for a set of headers and possibly a new catback if i could ever bring myself to part with the sweet sound of the stock Titanium one. Well guys i just wanted to compliment everyone on a wonderful site. I think it took only one day with the Z06 to turn a lifetime import fan into a domestic lover

Dave

haha, thanks for the warm welcome guys. Its such a difference to go from having AWD to RWD again. It almost scares me to death to drive the car hard around a turn because im afraid the rear is going to kick out on me. I think im going to take it easy on her until the weather warms up again.

I know what you mean about high performance import vs. high performance domestic. I also have a 300ZX Twin Turbo Stage III+ putting out around 400hp. It sits in the barn most of the time now that I have the ZO6.



Great color choice!
