Lol! My 2023 Z lasted 3 months, had no issues, she was fast and sounded good, but far from a PCAR feeling.

I now have a 2017 Ferrari California T Ferrari CPO for 2 years, it covers the Powertrain and some electronics.
Ferrari then gives you the option to extend the warranty yearly until the car is 15 or 16 years old, but it is a cost of $5K-$6K yearly, but that does include your yearly maintenance.

One major plus, I bought the Ferrari for much less than the cost of the Z, actually for about the price of a Eray Convertible.
I remembered you have a place in Wildwood, and I'm in Ocean City, I assumed to see you at the next Boardwalk Reunion in OC, around 350-400 all Pcars on the boardwalk, and always beautiful October weather.

It was a great car, but I don't trust the new C8 Vettes to not leave me stranded.
Looks are OK, not greaat, but the Z sounded amazing.

The Z build quality was decent, felt solid, but not German Engineering.
Keep in mind my car is a 2015 and it still feels solid.

Sold the place in N Wildwood, too much drinking, partying and noise.
People would rather have a golf cart in the garage to take them drinking than a Porsche to drive to the gym.
Good thing is I made a lot of money on the sale and bought a big modern single directly on the Bay in Forked River for a lot less money than I sold the townhouse for.
