Thanks for all the opinions guys. I'm working on the deal as we speak. Will let you guys know what happens come Tuesday. I do like the wheels but I have a set of dpe's I absolutely love so if the deal comes through I will be selling these wheels if anyone is interested

 

After speaking to Sharif at Forged (btw a super cool guy) and finding out all the mods and time spent ($48,000) I decided to go ahead and pull the trigger. I will be having the car picked up sometime next week. The car should be good at 600+rwhp, Im super excited and will keep you guys informed

 

The Z06 doesn't have a backseat...that's why I bought my G35 over one.

 

pics and vids of the cammed vette please

 

someone get a ZR1 already

 

Congratz on your purchase! You're going to love it based on what little turbo G experience I have

 

Congrats!

That thing looks like it was done right in every way.

 

Price had nothing to do with it?

 

grats on the purchase

 

i was also looking at c5 z06s when i bought my 06 coupe

reason i went g35 was because of overall interior comfort and features

i wish i had the z06 power though

maybe in a couple of years i'll do an LS6 swap

 

For $38k I would rather have a 335i.

 

I've actually seen this car in person. I was at the dealership that is selling this car. I went to Texas Tech for a day, and I was showing my younger brother around the town and the college campus. We decided to go look at some nice cars. There is ONE dealership that sells cars with a focus on high performance. They normally sell American Muscle. I drove up just to browse (I like window shopping for exotics), and this car had just arrived at the dealership. My mouth dropped because there was a G35 amongst the Americans (it stood out like a Harrier jump jet at the battle of Agincourt).

So there I am looking at this G. The z06s don't matter, the Vipers don't matter. Only this beautiful pearly white G matters in this moment. I'm admiring how clean it looks, and I'm instantly in love with the wheels (also admiring the BBK behind the spokes!). I keep looking, and I notice the twin intercoolers behind the stock bumper. I recognized the setup instantly - JWT Twin Turbo Kit. This car is one of the best sleepers I've ever seen.

jl4punch2 this is one amazing vehicle! It is so well built. Everything under the hood looked perfectly placed, the interior was immaculate (it still had the new car smell! What's underneath the hood would make most G owners weak at the knees. The mods were done with great care, and you can tell there was a great effort put forth to keep the appearance changes very subtle.

I start chatting with one of the employees, and he mentions how this is THE fastest car he's driven. He was blown away by the performance. And he's saying this among z06s, Saleen Mustangs, and Vipers! He was boasting 700rwhp (after seeing underneath the hood and looking at the rest of it, I'd believe it!). He actually gave me a price quote, and I had to do a double take at my G... pondering if I should take the offer and drive back to Albuquerque in a different, much much faster and nicer G (of course I'd have some explaining to do!).

I'm glad to see the owner is someone who is going to truly appreciate this beauty for what it is!

 

Paid $35,000 Buyer didnt want to lower the buy now on ebay, not sure why. Btw, already had a 335i, those cars are maxed out at ecu, fmic and exh. look at the turbo set up on those thing, 400 rwhp is all the car will ever produce. Plus I would never own another Bimmer unless it was a M series, which I had an E46 with stage 3 AA. I think Im most excited about this car out of all the car Ive owned. You cant get a more perfect put together car without overdoing it. Its the best Daily Driver!!!!!

BYW, the seller said he did a run with a new Z06 at 9psi, it was from 40-100 and the G was up by 1.5 cars, just imagine 18psi with 101

 

Sounds great man, your making me want to sleep with this thing

 

Trust me. You won't be disappointed! Congratulations!
