  1. It depends, every year is "special" for different reasons. If you get a GENUINE SS, RS then yes it's worth an extra $20k or so - I don't care for original genuine stuff at that kind of price difference If its a GENUINE Z/28 then you may as well ad a zero to the end of it The 69 is the one I don't like, has the squared off wheel arches and ugly front grille etc but to each their own, some consider the 67 and 68, especially in that blue, a bit girly - I find it to be quite classy, and typical 60's. I'm happy with it regardless, if someone said ( and many have ) " why not buy a brand new (mustang) or camaro"... because its not this one. How many have you ever seen? I see a new mustang almost weekly when I drive to Kent from Ringwood. Seen about 6 or 7 corvettes in 10 years of being in the UK... American cars are special when left... American!
  2. Its not just me being excited, it genuinely looks in great nick, right? Now I just need to find a good company for the pre purchase inspection Turns out these old V8s get about 18mpg... so 10 less mpg than the zed, but 10 times the soundtrack I'll deffo keep you lot posted!
  3. I'm just getting some second opinions on this car at the moment, and sorting out shipping, but it looks like this cars gonna join the 350z for a few weeks before I sell the Z I won't spoil it, gonna have to click the links As you can see, I've got pictures of just about every area of the car, and it's clean. Obviously I need to haggle the price, and will pay for a good pre purchase inspection just for peace of mind but yeah. Here she is https://velvethammer...hevrolet-Camaro And here is the underside/panel gaps etc https://www.dropbox....sXjWmAYXma?dl=0 Let me know what you guys think Yes I am aware that the fuel is going to ruin my life hahaha but hey, gotta warm the planet some how
  4. I raise you again. He is literally driving a bunch of wing at this point surely???
  5. That is all. I wonder if he can create diamonds with that much downforce
  6. What sort of budget do you have in mind? I'm thinking of selling mine in the next few months
  7. How did you get those to show up? I'd like to use it as a guide. HPI check a dealer did said my car was worth £7500 haha
  8. 0-62 is irrelevant nowadays, as the above somewhat proved, whatch Motortrends drag race of the year, the RWD cars tend to win, despite being slower to 60
  9. You mean 10.4? I do indeed, sorry was remembering the wrong thing for copy n paste
  10. Read the specs, 0 - 124 mph in under 5 seconds??? I'm sorry but I'm calling bollocks. Things like the P1 do it in 6.8 - 7 seconds... the 911 Turbo does it in 6.4... I realise the car weights less than a fart, and more powerful than any of the cars listed in the video, but that is a serious number! source of the time for 5 seconds - http://www.carbuzz.c...percar-7738145/ video proof of why I think its unrealistic
  11. Is she sold? I'd happily offer you what's left of my drink and the pair of broken sunglasses sat next to it on my desk...? I test drove a 2016 GTR a while back ( love wasting dealers time when I'm near by ) AND THEY ARE BONKERS. Always liked them but thought they were a bit boring until I drove it. Typical keyboard warrior I guess Good luck with the sale, and I'm not sure about the 2017 GTR, reviews are good, but seem to all think its a bit dated now. Z06 sounds good to me... or a C6 ZR1 with some serious leftovers for repairs etc - OR if I'm more realistic, what about just a "plain" Grand sport? looks like a Z06 and is cheap like the Stingray?

    Dedication Blog 350z

    I have already referred him to the forum too, he said he will check it out soon I enjoy his videos cause he seems so humble and enjoys cars for what they are - FUN
  13. 8k puts you into revups and not so great HRs! Should get some nice DEs with that budget ( the low tax requirement )
  14. He's done another 370z too, a sleeper one, look it up
  15. Watching her drive into the kerb hurt my soul.
  16. How can you have a DE with a refreshed interior without a revup engine?? That's new to me! I had the same issue as you, but mines registered as a 56 plate, Jan 07 - Ordered new belts, they didn't fit...
  17. 54 plate black 350z, needs a good wash!!! Glad you had a stubby though.
  18. You beat me to it Ekona! Hitler car... or grumpy old man cat
  19. I Swapped out the one in there for a 50w UVB bulb. They're nocturnal and generally don't need any extra UVB but I like to give it to him anyways Mainly swapped from 25W to 50W for the heat, ideally want to be around 80-90F but that varies by source, my viv was around 80 all day, so hoping it'll hit mid to high 80s and then keep it warmer over night with less effort. Had his first cold night last night of about 70-75F and it shouldn't get below 75F. I put this down to all the day time heat escaping while I spent an hour cleaning and redecorating his home. Dying to get the more accurate hygrometer and thermometer set up.
  20. I've moved things around and went to get some smaller hide-y holes today. The lack of green stuff is cause the local shop wanted £9 for the bit on the branch and it was all they sold. I had to have one, but not having more at that price. The big pond in the middle is for him to soak in and while I wait and try to find some humidity control it should help negate it in the mean time. I've upgraded to a warmer bulb, but now with a timer so that it stays on during the day and turns off roughly when I come back in the room from work. Will be gradually changing things as I observe what he likes and doesn't He's really taken to the leafy/rock corner, can't get him away from there!
  21. I've already taken some of your pointers on board. Going to get a branch and some fake plants asap, just wanted to focus on getting him settled first From what I've read, they don't typically climb but I'm going to do it anyways so it looks less like a box hahaha. The small coconut has been rotated and faces the back so I can't see in. The log has been rotated to more of a harsh angle and some fake greenery has been thrown over the top making the back like a safe bush type thing. I really like bearded dragons, hoping to get some in a year or two, after this lil guys stable and happy
  22. Today I got this lovely creature, not sure on the sex yet, but have named it Noctis. He/She is a Superbee Royal Python, and I'm new to snakes. The crappy pics are due to me being too excited hahaha If anyone is familiar with snakes I'd be grateful if you could help me out My personal fav so far, hiding in his/her lil coconut!! Last one, on my belly to try and get some better light to show off how he/she isn't yellow but actually white with hints of yellow For those wondering... the engine is from a W220 Mercedes S500 - 5 litre V8 pushing out 300 bhp when new - EDIT : Removed one photo that was even worse
  23. I'd say no, but then I don't trust anyone...
  24. You count a Fiat 500 as a car? I'll give em a look later
