yep, it has a vararam on it. Looks like you have a upgraded intake tube also. Nice car, love that color.

You can see that the top of your air intake is the same as my Vararam. He has just taken the sticker off of yours. Nice Z.

Very nice color choice What year/how many miles are on that Z? The interior (especially the driver's seat) looks freakin' brand new!

Damn that is quick and I did see the ZO6 mats. My driver's side stock mat is pretty worn out and I'm thinking about getting those Lloyds mats too. I bought my car about 2 weeks ago with 26,750 miles and my seat is much more worn than yours!

not really. Maybe the run with 121 mph is a bit questionable, not the et. Although the rest seem pretty realistic to me. I ran 11.96 at 117 with et streets and a vararam. Do you know if the car has been tuned any? Heard the stock tune on the Z's are a bit on the restrictive side
