My friend, who had been contemplating buying a Mustang, has discarded that idea after this ride. He wants a Z28 so bad, he made me get on the internet after our ride to find one . When he saw the prices for new Zs ( now mid fifties) and compared them what he would pay for a GT350 he said it was a no brainer. Z28 hands down.

So, I'm looking forward to a track day with him soon in his new Z!

Took the Z to Thompson Speedway last Thursday. Even with Bridgestone street rubber on the car turned in 1:26 vs. Corvettes, M3s, Porsches doing 1:23s wearing R compounds. Not bad at all.

Can't wait to put the Trofeos back on.
Thompson is seeing its fair share of Z/28s this week, I was there Tuesday with a friend that also had his Z, and he went back again Friday. Everyone he takes out for a lap cannot believe the performance of the Z
