Nice looking ride and I'm certain you'll enjoy it. The pricing is reasonable and the car looks well cared for.

So, I voted yes.... But why, would a person of your obvious intelligence, base this 11g decision on a stupid internet poll? If I were entertaining the idea of purchasing a car, or anything else, I wouldn't be doing it based on a poll... Especially considering who's voting. :-}

It means his vote is the only vote that counts. We're just making noise.

Well, if he decides to take me with to see this car, I'll definitely be making my fair share of noise. That's for sure.

Hahaaha! You guys crack me up!! And I think the pictures don't do the car justice, because pearl yellow Z's look much more copper orange when photographed at nights or late afternoons. It actually looks more like this, as also can be seen in the pic of the engine compartment.

And of course I would ask you guys for advice! Who else could I turn to? SupraDriver.com?? Haha!

IMHO, the Z looks good in every color. It just looks better in some colors. Like Arctic Pearl Glow.

Yea, that's a nice setup. Looks good with the yellow. Definitely a no on the yellow seats though.

Buzzzttt!!!!
Wrong answer... The seats are an integral part of the package and if ommited would lessen the "curb appeal" of the car. Those seats are screaming, "come sit on me", and, will tell the rest of the world, "if the seat fits, drive it".

My $ 0.02 worth.....

I think You'd have more peopel disagreeing with you. Those seats seem a bit ricey too me. Stock seats are part of the curb appeal, or at least somethign tasteful. tasteful seats scream sit in me! I don't think the too many would wanna sit in yellow seats...or they'd come with cars and you'd see lots of yellow furniture in people's houses.

strong 2nd Emo!...those seats got to go....i have racing seats in my car, but they are black, and i am redoing the rest of the interior as we speak...all black. i have digital gauges that turn black after the car is turned off, my cd player turns off and nothing is visible. my interior is all stealth...or untill you turn the ignition on i dunno thats just me... i like keeping it unique, but i don't like to scream it out. i do it for myself, and i could care less if anyone else likes it. i just like getting in my dark garage, turn the car on, and wow...interior comes to life...none of that neon crap tho,

if you like the seats thats fine with me, but those yellow seats would fit better in a civic or an integra with a huge tach and a yellow painted dash....

Don't forget the aluminum foil on the steering wheel and gear shift **** to show off the bling! You know, that adds at least 5 more HP's to the NA and 15 to the TT. J/K. How'd we get on the topic of ricing out the Z? Oh yeah, yellow seats. It looks like attach of the Bumble Bee. Sorry, those seats gotta go.

Hey, but at least it's a TT. Too bad someone had a yellow theme going on. I guess the paint's ok (being that it's stock and pretty rare), but the seats...well, they'd match the beauty and the beast if you know what I mean.

I'm betting you eat the same cereal for breakfast every morning, too.

Are you aware that black is not a colour? It is merely a shade. On the otherhand, yellow is one of the three, only, colours.

Famous too... Yellow submarine, mello yellow, yellow rose of Texas, and the list goes on....(bananas, lemons, etc...)

Just because it's highly visable and can be seen from great distances in the dark, doesn't make it bad...
