Congrats. A small investment for a very nice car.

I use to hotshot from MN to NC and back to swap motors with my engine builder. Leave at 3 pm on Friday back at 5 pm on Sunday. I know the drill.

Awesome find. Is it a '14 or a '15?

All the aero parts blend perfectly and makes the car look sinister. But then again I’m a little biased!
Good luck with your search, they are great cars!
I agree

black is the best answer for this car IMO

if the aero on the other colors matched, it would be better for the other colors

I own a 2019 F350/PowerStroke and a 26' Aluminum Sundowner. I averaged 10.8mpg starting at 7,000' where I live to sea level and back up. 75mph all the way.

Thanks everyone for their input including funny pix.
that rear end pic loaded up on the trailer looks so badass!

Thanks everyone. First order of business was a basic wash and now on the lift to drain all the fluids.

I don't envy hotshot...that is tough work. I sure don't have it anymore!

Thank you j o n. I am all set.

I know that one and it was about 900mi closer to me, but I was unable to communicate effectively with the seller that was a dealer, albeit a nice man. And it then turned out that it had some track time.

I appreciate you guys that track your car!

I have been on the track since 1988 when I wrecked a brand new 1988 E30/M3. I went and bought another new one! I had 2 car loans with only one of them running. I still own the latter! In 2011 I bought a new GT3RS that I have tracked (DE) ever since and still own.

I am probably older than a few of you combined!

So...I finally have all the fluids changed in my basically new Z/28. Nothing had ever been drained before other than 1 engine oil/filter. Everything was super super clean except brake/clutch fluid which was dark!


What a great car!
