For some reason I've always wanted to do a police sponsered version. Then after seeing the South Carolina State Police Z32 Makes me want to do one even more. I'm pretty sure I can get the Springdale PD to help with it.
. so if anyone that onws a TT can give me some driving tips, that would be great.

yes, don't floor it all the way until you've been driving for at least 2 weeks. Ease yourself into the power. Also, don't give it too much gas around turns until you've had it for a while and gotten used to it too.

yeah find an empty parking lot with no polls or anything. thats what i did after my tt swap... a lot of fun!! and you can get used to sliding it if your going to try and do that. be careful though dont want to hear someone wrapping a z around a tree.

I was just ribbin ya Emo. I need to get back out there. Talked to my buddy in Los Osos and they'd been on a long bike ride with a group Sunday and he said his neighbor Mike had finally got his Grand Touring Roadster. Miss it out there sometimes.

Yeah, but I decided to just enjoy riding when I'm out there, Jim has 63 bikes now and I can have my choice of what to ride when I'm there.
Been looking to buy old Z's for parts cars here lately. Friend of mine in Springfield and I have been looking at a bunch of old stuff.
