Does that thing really have a vortex generator?

I still can't believe you're out of the Evo Alvin, but that is a pretty sweet ride. A little too aggressive for me (remember, I try to run more stealth) but it would definitely have me looking twice...or more.

I'll keep an eye out on the 405 and give you the honk and wave if I see you. Best of luck with your new ride, woman, and ongoing career!

P.S. - your original excuse about leaving the Evo for a 350z seems blown out of the water after seeing this beast!

Nice. That is a looker. I'm not too sure also with the front lip kit. Overall, sexy car. If anything, A Zed would be next in line if I ever left my evo. A 370Z that is.

Thanks guys...the Evo will always have a place with me. I am just glad I did not have to part out the car because it was so pretty the way it sat. The new owner will love the car just as much as I did and will make it even sicker so I'm not worried about it at all plus it's a local enthusiast so I'm sure I'll see the car around!

I'm keeping that on the dl but I'll let you know it's not much over kbb and definitely a lot less than what I sold the Evo for. I basically put all extra cash after paying off my Evo onto this car so that my payment went down a lot.

Just a heads up, the vortex generator was found to reak havoc on the Z in terms of handling. It broke up a lot of the flow needed for down force. Somewhere on my350Z they had wind tunnel testing. I'd take it off.
Thanks for the info bro. I'll look into it but it's one of the piece I love on this car because it reminds me of the Evo lol. I'm not tracking the car so I think it should be fine.

I wish I could! That would be awesome! I did just buy another car... a 94 accord for 1k from my dad. That's the first mod for this car

Thanks bro! I think it was from a time capsule it's an 03...with only 45k miles on it when I got it and a perfectly mint interior and exterior without any blemishes....

Thanks bro I knew some people would be like wtf...evo to Z but it's definitely not a normal Z

LOL Thanks for the love bro but I definitely do not regret the switch. I think one day I'll buy another Evo...maybe the XI but I want to have a coupe for as long as I can!

How does the Z compare to the Evo?
Thanks bro, it's like apples and oranges though. They're not really comparable. The Z has an edge on curb appeal but the Evo is much faster for much cheaper For me, I think it's perfect since I don't drive my car on a track...if you prefer performance over curb appeal, the Evo is a lot better at doing what it does best - spanking asses and taking names!

Thanks bro...I agree. For the price I paid I actually feel bad it was definitely a sweet deal - too sweet to pass up.

thanks bro...I sold the Evo pretty dang quick (2 days) and picked up the Z 3-4 days later

Congrats on the purchase.

Nice Alvin...car looks way nicer with the new pictures. Looks like you are going to enjoy her...I'll give you a ride in the evo whenever if you miss the power
Thanks bro, I will take you up on that for sure! I'll stop by a meet if you ever make it this way!

I can't say but I couldn't have kept the Evo. I paid her off and put the rest towards this car and paid off some stuff. It was a great financial move actually....insane but it happened better than I expected, especially in this economy.

Do it! Hope to see pics soon bro! Go over to my350z whenever you have a chance!

Close to $29k the way it sits bro.

Thanks bro! I'd be glad to help you with anything Even though we've only met on 405...lol I feel like the Evo connection keeps friendships alive. That's true enthusiasts right there! Oh and there's a reason why my excuse was...well, an excuse but really...I can see myself pulling up into a meeting with a suit and the Z....maybe

damn that's hot bro, who makes that? My setup is the Mastergrade Roof with the Chargespeed VG to match the rest of the kit.

not buy a built car!
I've been building cars since I was 16....three of them from basically stock form. I know I'm capable of building a decent ride This was just too darn good of an opportunity to get a Z (which I've own previously) with parts that I would have done or would want to do on it already. No worries though it will be changed up in time This Z is not complete yet

My previous Z

Damn, Alvin. I have a feeling you'll come back to the Evo world though...

Do you know where the Other Car Forum is? LOL.

Really nice Z - I'm not missing mine at all.
Your Evo was one of the nicest out there!
