Good Job! She looks great! I always liked the rarer looking Z's w/o the T-Tops. I love my T-Tops however, you just don't see them much anymore without. Good Buy!

Congrats. Haven't heard of hard tops being faster but I don't know everything. Keep an eye on the classifieds, I've been hanging out there a lot and picked up a driveshaft, fast 90/90, QA1 shocks, and I will continue to watch lol. Good fun cars.

I don't think hard tops are faster,they just dont flex as much.
But I could be wrong.
