probably would not be parked up by the house if that were the case. ;o? From an unbiased owner, how do the two cars compare?

I've only had the Z06 for a few days now and I haven't had a chance to drive it too hard. I've had the FD for about 4 years now. The Z06 is a totally different beast. I have been driving the Z06 exclusively for the past few days, and I took the FD out today to make a quick comparison. The FD's transmission shifts a lot smoother than the Z06's. I get more "road feel" from the FD, but that might be partly because I have fully upgraded suspension on it. The Z06 is very responsive in any gear at pretty much any RPM. The HUD is pretty cool, and the Driver Information Center (DIC) gives you access to a lot of useful data.

I will post a full comparison once I properly drive the Z06 a little more.

1. This car used to be red?

2. Can you post more pistures of that center vent gauge mount?

3. Seems to be a few wires hanging out.

4. Should of waited and posted pictures when the car was clean.

thanks everyone!!!
yellow "band" on the steering wheel...well why dont you email sparco and ask them because i didnt put it there,i simply bought it because it was suade and deep dish... my guess is its so you know where the center of your steering wheel is at all times??
my friend brought the shift **** back with him on his trip back from jap land.i wanted a taller one but he said he couldnt bring him self to buy the taller one.lol. turns out this one is fine.it was for my cressida,but i sold it,so i just put it on this car.

i love rx7club!

Prôdigy

The yellow band is a permanent version of a tape trick that a lot of professional drivers recommend novices to do.

You put a bright piece of tape in the center of the wheel pointed straight, so that you can keep your eyes through the side window/side front pointed at the exit of a corner, and not look directly at the wheel to know how far to correct in case you get under/oversteer.
