Pete,
Very nice!! I love the black 5 spokes. Is this your new Z, or does this one replace your father's copper '05? Was that one totaled? Thanks.

You crazy? When I get rid of my Z, I'm buying an NSX, not a 350Z!!
Indeed, it is my dad's car, and the old LeMans Sunset car was unfortunately totalled. As you saw, cosmetically, it wasn't terrible, but once we got it on a lift, insurance essentially assumed the motor was done (didn't attempt to find out for sure) due to the oil pan being torn off, and there was pretty extensive front suspension damage. Very unfortunate situation, but like I said the day it happened, I'm just extremely thankful that they were both okay, and I'm especially glad that he's back in a Z so soon.
In the short run, some nice differences that he's benefitting from in the 2007 Z vs. his old 2005 are bi-xenon headlights, LED taillights, XM Sat Radio, and most importantly, the new VQ35HR engine making 306 hp vs. 287 hp before. He also now has front and rear spoilers, unlike before.
Needless to say, he's enjoying it tons and is just thrilled to be back in a Z!
On another subject, I may just have to own up and buy an NSX now, lol. 'Ol Dan (Viper club, 93 RT10) is talking a little smack about them again saying they're not as capeable of a track car that people make them out to be, and (subtlely) saying that the Viper is faster around HPT, MAM, etc. You have no idea how badly I want to prove him wrong.
