    Project SpecZHP

    I'm going to attempt to document the enjoyment and maintenance of our 2004 Imola Red ZHP sedan. The car is my wife's daily driver and for at least 2014 will be my track car. That means 3-4 multi day events from March - September. The title of this thread is a kind of a running joke with the group of guys that I do track events. But I think it explains what my objectives with the car. Historically, we've all driven different cars including S/C 318ti, 332ti, E46 ZHP, E46 M3s, E36 M3s, E34 M5. E30 M3 w/ 2.5 motor. Most of these cars were pretty modified. For example a 318ti with an S52 swapped in or a super charged 318ti with a fully adjustable suspension are far from stock.

    Two of us now own ZHPs. Two others are searching for ZHPs. So we are looking forward to driving the same car on track together. It should be fun on track and talking smack over beers. No excuses about your car has more hp or your car is lighter, etc… At this point there is a gentleman's agreement the cars will be stock or close to it. Any street tire is OK. No R compound tires. Any brake pad is fine. But no BBK. No software tunes, no intakes, no aftermarket exhausts. We'll see how long this lasts. But that's where we are right now.

    Enjoy the ride.

    Officially we are the 3rd owners. The actual third owner never titled the car. It sat in his garage for 4 months and he put less than 100 miles on it during that time.

    Here is a link to buying and bringing the car back to Nebraska.
