Z06 finally has a stablemate!

[Z06nsxcts]

Long story short I have wanted an NSX since high school.(16 years ago) Promised my self I would own one one day. Once I finished school, I got hooked on the horsepower to dollar value of the Corvette. I had never owned an American car before I drove the C6. I was hooked on the torque I ended up with '08 Z06 and eventually CTS-V.

After a while I got the itching for another mid-engined car. I grew up on MR2s. I considered and drove ferrari 360,F430 etc.. But getting one of these would mean giving up the Vette. So it hit me, time to shop for an NSX. I was eying one in TN since November I finally pulled the trigger...

My only regret is that I didn't buy one sooner. It's a '96 with 28,000 miles. The only thing wrong is the A/C only blows on high. Other than that I am amazed at the build quality. I own two GM cars so I have low standards lol.

I can't see Japan ever making another mid-engined car with three pedals. So I am never getting rid of this one.

very nice, and I agree with you 100% about Japan not making another mid-engine car. ENJOY!:tongue:

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

[wagyshag]

Wow! Beautiful!! Congrats

 

[synergy004]

Awesome I have the same in the garage. I really like my red ZO6, your black looks killer just black paint maintenance. You must spend hours on weekends if your picky.

Nice NSX enjoy her.

 

[socold57]

You prolly need a ccu repair for the ac known nsx issue , Brian k can fix that

Congrats

 

[PHOEN$X]

Welcome! Nice garage you have there. :smile:

 

[rbilder]

Welcome... nice stable.

What took you so long? :biggrin: Better late, than never.

I think you made a wise decision... keeping the Z06 and picking up an NSX, over going for one F car. The maintenance cost will be cheaper and you have two very fun cars.

 

[jaybird]

Great move and congrats! Beautiful cars -- smart to keep both. Welcome! Jay

Thanks guys. Still getting used to the car. Everything about it great from the seating position to the engine note.

Glad I went with the NSX. I like to track my cars (thats what the Z is for). Tracking an Fcar would get $$$$$$$ real quick.


Keeping three black cars clean is going to keep my weekends busy.

Congrats on your new addition the family. Now you can clear away a space on the wall for some NSX fodder. :biggrin:

 

[Z06nsxcts]

Can't believe the attention this car gets. In two days of ownership I've had people taking pics of my car outside of a Subway, two people at the gas station asking about my car, and the maintence guys at work tracking me down inside to ask about the car.

.

That's because they think it is a Ferrari or some other high end car.

 

[jaybird]

Its funny - took my son to pick up his car at the Honda dealer this morning (annual inspection and oil change) -- saw 6 Honda salesman hanging out in the parking lot killing time - when I came up in the NSX they all had their jaws drop, and gave the admiring stare, and a few "thumbs up" - my son said "wow Dad, look at these guys looking at your car!".

The NSX really does turn heads, especially car peoples heads -- such a great automobile :smile: Will never sell this car. Jay

its a far cry from "just another Corvette"

it was hilarious when i stopped by the Ferrari dealership and drew a crowd. a guy there even said, "screw Ferrari, I'm gettin' an NSX!"

It's pretty cool. Having owned a vette for 4 years nobody ever asked me about it. With the NSX there are lots of questions, people taking pictures, etc.

It's a sweet ride.

Nice stable, I love the cts-v in particular. Is it a 6sp ? welcome to NSX ownership and brian k can fix your CcU unit.

Yeah it's a 6 speed. Hard to believe Cadillac makes a manual transmission car and ferrari doesn't. Valet guys get confused when they see a clutch in a Caddy.

Going to pull my CCU this weekend and send it to Brian.

And pop up headlights still rock:biggrin:

 

[HockeyGoalie]

congrats on the car, i used to own three vettes including a Z06

 

[gt_nfr]

Not gonna lie....the Z06 and the CTS-V are on VERY short list of cars I want in the future. Very jealous of your collection.

 

[condumbwerkz]

Your stable is my favorite. I have always had black cars, so I can totally understand your choices Also, congratulations on your purchase!
