And the only reason I labled your remarks as domestic fanboyism isn't becuase you like the Z06 better, I like the Z06 better as well, but becuase you pretty much called the GTR over priced and under performing, yet gave the Z06 praise when it has similar price and performance.
Look is all subjective, performance isn't, so that really has nothing to do with it. | We are going to have to agree to disagree here. Yes, the GT-R does perform well on a circuit, but to me it's just not a true sports car. It's too heavy, it's too electronically controlled, etc. It just seems so crippled to me by these things. Lighten it up, get rid of the gizmos and let the driver do the driving, not the computer. That pretty much sums up my distaste for the car. Not saying if given the keys I wouldn't take one, but if I had a choice for the price range it wouldn't be the car I'd pick.

Anyways! Going to replace the distributor cap & rotor on the Jeep tomorrow as I very foolishly didn't change them when I did the spark plugs and wires well over a year ago.

300hp is plenty for a daily driver while still maintaining decent mileage. Time for some suspension/brake mods, though. I always feel people tend to forget about the handling aspect of it and just shoot for power. That's great and all, but not on a daily driver. What's the point of 500hp if you don't have the brakes to stop it? Beautiful stang though and congrats! 
Speaking of which, I'm hoping to score some cheap priced Grand Cherokee (ZJ) rear coils for the front of my Comanche. It will stiffen it slightly and lower it about 2". Then I'd need to lower the rear quite a bit as it already sits atleast 2-3" higher than the front.
