Message	and I want to say what great respect I have for every man and woman serving our country. I am in no way discounting what you are saying about your experience with Z1, but I just want to share my experiences with them because I don't think they get the credit they deserve sometimes. I have done A LOT of business with these guys for the past 3 years. Most all of my transactions went great and whenever there was a problem it was fixed quickly and to my satisfaction. I had a TT swap done at Z1. I have since bought upgraded turbos and a ton of other parts. I have personally seen how hard Russell works at making that company go. Guys, he puts 110% of himself into that company and works everyday to make it better. I know that this is not a very good place to offer up these opinions. I know that I will be attacked and ridiculed for sharing my views and experiences and thats fine. I have bought literally 1000s of dollars worth of parts with Specialty Z, Coz, Ultimate Z, and Z1. I have bought stuff from forum members when possible like Woody and Bernie. I am objective in my opinion (even though I am sure I will be accused of being otherwise) I know some of you have had problems with Z1. If you base your opinion on your experiences that's fine. I just wanted to say I know these people. Z1 is not the Evil Empire some would have you believe. They are not out to run other vendors out of business so they can rule the Z world. They are actually a bunch of fellow Z enthusiasts who love what they do and want you to leave a happy customer. flame away.....
