Checking in after a long time - got Z4 a sister
Hey everyone, been a long time since I've been on here, I hope you're all doing well.
Got the Z4 a sister earlier this year. What do you guys think of the combination?

Nice! I'm jealous. The garage mate I just got for my Z is a station wagon.
I also looked at your modification journal and noticed that you put Vibra-Technics motor mounts in your Z some time ago. How are they holding up? I very recently added them as part of an omnibus maintenance job over the winter. Did the AutoSolutions shift kit as well which I lovelovelove. No more messy 2nd gear downshifts. |

Who wouldn't want a sister like that, even if you were a car 😉

As for the SSK we agree, first time I got to drive a Z4 with the SSK I was sold. Great mod and worth every penny. It's a 570GT in volcano orange, it looks matte because I have it wrapped in clear bra to protect the paint. I got the GT model (versus the S or spider) because I wanted an upgrade in both performance and comfort. And it definitely lives up to both. My favorite thing about it is how stiff the car is. It's so rigid because of the materials and construction, but still manages to have a more comfortable and compliant suspension than the Z, and the Z has a KW suspension kit. Here's the before/after of the 570 being wrapped:

Awesome car that, prob my least fave color, but thats a personal thing, instead of how it looks, id /MUCH/ rather hear about how it goes?
Congrats on your McLaren, very very nice..

I love that color - It's defintely much better than any of the colorless colors (black, white, silver,gray,etc). These cars needs bright colors!

The new GT lacks the trick suspension of the 720S but shares it engine in detuned form. The ride in the GT is almost supple compared to competitors, both direct and indirect. It may be it's most surprising aspect. I can't comment on a 570 since I haven't driven one yet. Although trying to get my girlfriend to like a 570S Spider has been a slight challenge. She loves the ride in the GT. |

As to how it goes, it's a rocket! Launch mode is a riot, I can't imagine how it would feel as a passenger, but as a driver I was giggling like a fool. Quote:

I looked at the GT as well, and it really ticks all the boxes for me except in one area: the design of the car. The 570GT just looks way better IMO.

I really want to get a 720S Spider in the worst way. There is a Ludus Blue car in Chicago right now that ticks all of the boxes... |
