Almost ready to take the plunge...

mick

i think the zr1 is only desirable if you are into ultra fast driving.

for its price, i would rather get one Shelby GT500 and one Corvette Grand Sport.
or
one Audi R8 (because it looks more like a supercar)

Install of the Stillen grounding kit, some weight savings mods, install of the new wheels, removal of the blockheater, and some engine bay clean-up (re-mount of a relay box and removal of the two air filter "covers", etc., etc..).

You know.... WIP

I wanna get a body kit or a lip kit, get the car fully painted since i got quite abit of damage. But i need to put some stuff on hold because im thinking about popping the question to my gf.

If you've got the need for speed wouldn't a twin turbo setup satisfy that urge and you can keep the quality of the Nissan interior, etc....

unless u plan on building the engine up and going all out, TT is useless...the cost is to much, for a person in canada to get the parts, labour to install and all that it will cost around $16,000....16k to hit 400~ hp....i can hit that with bolts on a nitrous for under 5k

It cost 16k (USD) here in the states also, but it will get you 400-600 on the stock engine, just depends on how well you want to play it safe.

Nitrous is like a disposable camera and FI is like a digital SLR. Nitrous is for every now and then - I want boost all the time. Besides street light racing has little intrest for me IMHO...

You can easily get a reliable 550HP from these engines TT and turn key installed for about $15K.

The ZR1 is quite a machine limited availibility wicked power it would be a great car to have. However TT the Z and you'll never look at another vette unless its in your rear view mirror.



Nice analogy I agree I had Nitrous on another car, ended up adding a turbo not the same at all. You would use a whole bottle of N2O rowing through the gears, IMO nothing beats have the power under your foot when ever you want/need it

From what I understand, the dealerships won't even talk to you if you planned on exporting the car. I know that certain manufacturers will penalize the dealership for selling a new car to someone that is going to export it.

When I lived in Canada, they wouldn't sell me a new Dodge even though I was legally living there and could do all the transfer paperwork myself.

yea TT setp up is nice but like i said, i just find it pointless unless u build the engine up and go higher...to me $16k for a TT that gives the same amount of power as bolts ons and nitrous for $3000. If i was going to get TT i would build the engine up and go for 700-800whp

I said a low mile car i.e. used. Therefore, no problem getting it back to Canada unless it's listed as not being importable into Canada by Canada Customs. However, I doubt the 'vette is on the list. Warranty could be an issue though.
