Re: Props to Corey @ Henderson Performance
OK, David and Dave, you talked me into it
 My wife and I will fly down to San Antonio, buy it, and drive it home. A 1300 mile "shake down" cruise should allow us to get acquainted. |

Re: Props to Corey @ Henderson Performance
Might want to post your intended route just in case you want some cruise company for a few miles or if you need some help along the way. Great way to meet other members en route. And of course they will know the best places to stay and grab a bit to eat to make a great adventure out of the trip. Yep I am a bit jealous.

Re: Props to Corey @ Henderson Performance
I don't know your wife, but I know mine. Good luck packing light enough for a 1300 mile trip -- especially if you are getting both tops. Remember, this thing doesn't exactly have a trunk!
Congrats on the purchase. Enjoy the ride. And don't forget to wave. Last edited by Brad Sewell; 04-08-2012 at 12:59 PM. |

We'll follow I-30 to Little Rock and then wind north. I have a daughter in southern Missouri, so we'll stay there. Then it's I-44 to St. Louis, I-55 in Illinois, up 1-39 into Wisconsin and over I-43. |

One drawback to this Z is it only has the painted top, but we will be able to store it in back if we want. |

Re: Props to Corey @ Henderson Performance
Thanks to all for your kind words and suggestions.
Now, I hate drone. I've heard that Borla's don't drone. I guess we'll find out. |

Just a few words about buying and driving X-Country. I bought 3 Z's that I flew in and drove home. I bought two in Long Island and one in Kansas City. I drove them all back to Vegas. Yes, lots of miles in cars I had no real history on... Luckily they were all success stories... 1. If the car has sat for a long time your first 100-150 miles will make you wonder if you bought junk... Both the FX3 shocks and tires will need about that many miles to get back into shape. The tires will be out of round and the shocks will all act at different rates. Two of the three I bought were this way and they were the low mileage cars. The one car that acted normal from the get-go had 69K miles. 2. Wipers might be junk so check the blades and maybe squirt on some rainx. This is not usually in your checkout checklist... 3. ZR-1 Forum Member help. FU helped me in LI which was invaluable. I didn't have the help in KC but I had help along the way if needed... Frank went way beyond just helping but that's another story... Have a great trip! Sorry I'll just miss you, I don't fly in until the 17th. Cheers, RH PS. Make sure Corey brings Bob and the Gang... You'll have a blast!
