hey man thnxxx, regarding the zo6 , its a great car on the track corners well, accelerates even better its unbeatable on the track the only thing you need is to put 4 hoosier slicks and your good to go but its not tht good on the road cuz 1st of all the car has alot of torque so u'll be spinning those wheels alot, the suspension is too rough and the heat from the gear box is just too annoying ull be sweating the whole time in bahrain but since u live in sweden i dnt think tht the gearbox is tht big of an issue. im thinking of getting the new gt3 cuz im already building a track supra . 
As you said we dont have the same heat that you guys have in Bahrain 
So i dont think the heat from the gearbox will be a problem. Did you have any engine mods done to it? i`ve been thinking about doing exhaust, headers and a tune when i am getting used to the car.

Thanks for the info and the pics, It looks so angry! As you said we dont have the same heat that you guys have in Bahrain So i dont think the heat from the gearbox will be a problem.

Wow! Great car.. and looked well kept too!! Unfortunate to hear of the loss, I hope you replace it with something better!
A few TSers may recall I lost one at the track... just after the oasis straight... damn rubber brake lines and DOT 3 brake fluid!!!
I shouldn't really blame the car though as I knew they were rubber lines and had steel braided ones sitting in a box! damn laziness...
Barring the seats, rubber brake lines/crappy brake fluid, and to some degree steering-feel on and over the limit, the car is a great one!
The GT3 on the other hand sacrifices a bit of power to the Z06 yet offers a more complete package including seats, proper brake lines/fluid, steering feel that is unparalleled on the limit and over.
Keeping in mind that although it is a more complete high performance package, it achieves it through a completely different approach in terms of engine layout/drive setup, having its engine behind the rear axle. Thus creating specifically unique handling characteristics. An example of which would be the infamous nervous front end at top speeds...
The Supra looks like a nice project. Learned to drive in a Supra!!! Great memories...Good luck with it Bro.
In any case
to the TEAM!! and those were great pics, thanks for sharing!!!
