Bigger **** envy
I've reached a point where I feel like I'm in front of a wall and there are just two ways around it and I'm not sure which one to pursue.
So....what I'm talking about it power. My 370z is upgrade on every front that I felt made sense. Braking, cooling, drivetrain, suspension - all boxes checked. All parts are top notch. They're all well tuned and perform excellent. The issue that I now have is.....the ****. Power. I feel like my car is just too weak. And I'm not talking about traffic light jerking off. I'm talking about racetrack fun.
I've had the Z for 5 years. During that time I upgraded part after part when I felt like the current one isn't up to my liking/skill level. I feel that right now the car is just a dream to drive, but it's weak. Maybe I'm spoiled, I don't know. But this is now the wall that I feel like I'm facing. I felt it at the beginning of last season but I convinced myself that there's no need for more power, that I still have more skills to upgrade. One year later I'm even more convinced that I'm just lacking power now.
So....what do I do now? One obvious answer is - supercharge the car. I am considering this, as it would be a logical step towards the ultimate fun car - it's already got everything else. But will the supercharger bring enough bang? I dunno, I haven't driven any boosted Z's.
As an alternative I'm looking at a C6 corvette. I always thought it would be my #1 alternative to the Z. I haven't driven it so I'm not sure whether it would really be what I'm looking for. I also think that it would surely require upgrading certain parts before it would reach the handling of my Z.
Rant over. Give me your input. What are you guys's thoughts on this? Would you supercharge the already excellent car? Would you make the bigger jump toward the V8 and unlock more of everything immediately, with the option of later upgrades going even further? I am stuck. Thanks.
