Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So maybe I wasn't in the 996 (I was driving my Z) but that son of a gun was next to me at a stop light and when I pulled out my phone to snap a pic he PUNCHED it! I am here to tell you that is one fast frickin car!!!!! And the sound was intoxicating. No CGT, but still very nice. Here's the pic I got as he was pulling away........
I love the SLR but have never seen one 'on the road.' Gotta love a 5-speed automatic that goes 200 mph.
That was probably Wayne Newton - you should have rammed him!
Damn LVDell. You are pretty fast on the draw with that cell phone!
My local Benz dealer had a SLR in showroom. I still wonder why a car of such caliber needs to be so civilized. I guess it's for an older person. I love cars that are raw and near race-car.
dmac....I was only quick on the draw b/c I saw him at the red light beforehand and got prepped very quickly! But as soon as I pulled up to the light and he saw my camera he took off. DAMN GREEN LIGHTS!!!!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure it's a 7spd automatic, not a 5spd.
Look at those long flat NV roads. If I lived there I would certainly have my license revoked by the state within a month.
Its a 5 speed. Mercedes' 7Gtronic transmission couldnt handle all the torque and power.
For 450k+ (some as high at 700k), it should BLOW the doors off and much more!
I've heard those things were fast but never actually seen one on the road. What if you had the 996??..hmmmmm.
Dell, the hood of your Z car looks cool. Post a pic or two here, will ya?
Here you go! https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ighlight=280zx
Dell, there you go, trotting out the Z again... You've got my juices going; off to autotrader I go! I'm gonna have to get a 10 car garage in the next house...
Sorry Joe! I aim to please
Dell, the condition of your car is phenomenal. See, that's what I am thinking with this 996. Keep it for 30 years so that the feel is about more than just the car; it's about the experience. Reminds me of my first motorcycle: a cherry 1981 Yamaha Maxim 550. Just a standard, but a black beauty and oh what I would give to get that little sucker back.....especially considering I only sold it for 1500 buckeroos.
And mess up his hair? Sweet Z BTW...
Thanks RJ Edward....that is the very reason I choose the Z more often than the 996 when I got out to the garage to leave the house. The experience in the Z is just one that is hard to describe.
It's amazing what the market is for the Z's right now. Lot's of people are restoring them and it's driving the price up. 10 years ago you could have had someone pay you to take it.
Rob, that is the very reason I have the car insured with a classic collector's insurance company (Haggerty) for stated value in case anything would happen to her I have a price that would help ease the pain versus the ACV that a typical insurance policy would pay (maybe $3K).
Stop it guys, you're killing me! With two kids and an impractical 996, I'll never talk the wife into the Z of my dreams.
