Congratulations @mattgil! Gorgeous color to get on the Z! Is this your first Z car or have you had other ones?

This is my Rosewood Performance! I have not taken any pics since she was delivered to me at my door bc it’s been icy n nasty outside. As soon as its clear n the sun is out, I’ll be taking pics. These pics were taken at the dealership before she left there to come home.

Congratulations on getting your Z @Leah and welcome to the forum! Be sure to let us know how your first proper drive goes! What stands out the most so far since you took delivery?

Thanks! yeah I wasn't completely sold on it, I wanted the blue but this is what they got in and this is the color my dad wants. This car is a bit of a father / son thing to share, I personally have never owned a Z, I have a 01 Mustang GT but I've been mostly American cars. My dad has a long history with the Z, the first new car he bought was a 71 240 when he got out of the service, he then had a 260, 280 and a 300ZX 88 I think. I've always wanted a 2nd gen 300ZX turbo but this is faster and nicer! Back in 2001 we actually bought a 71 240 to restore as a family project, we aren't mechanics but did all the research and parts buying and what not. I was young then but got super into Z cars learning about all the generations and the really early ones, unfortunately some bad things happened and the person we paid to restore it never quite finished the job and went out of business and you know how that goes. This car is kind of retribution for that first project we tried to do.

That's really cool you get to share the car with your dad, I love hearing stuff like that. Sorry to hear about your 240Z project but here's to you and your dad enjoying the heck out of your Z!

If you do mod the Z tires would be a great place to start given a lot of reviews about the stock ones being a bit of a letdown for performance driving.
