Vehicle History/Summary:
I purchased the Z3M in 2006 from Phoenix Racing, a race team in PA. After owning the car for about a year i wanted to give it some boost. I purchased a VF Engineering supercharger kit and installed it myself. I had the supercharger on the car for about a year, and decided i wanted to go turbo with it. I picked up the Technique Tuning Stg 2 kit and installed it over the winter. Now its just time for me to enjoy the car!

This was the hardest on for me in quarter finals as I've recently become partial to euro cars. Shadow's Z had a complete build-up thread IIRC which sways me back his way. I flipped a coin for the vote.

Re: Quarterfinals: #3 - ShadowStyle2DX vs bmwtech13
I'm a sucker for old Z cars. If the underhood matched the exterior it would be a contender for the whole thing.
Mshoe is dope, but I had to go Z here.

Thanks and thanks!
Hopefully this winter will yield the time/funds to start on the engine swap and finish the paint.

I went with the M even though I'm an old japanese car fan myself. The Z just doesn't have all the necessities to be a contender IMO but it looks like everyone else disagrees.
