I definitely agree with that. The Z does feel really great and is a well engineered vehicle. Heck, I may even end up keeping the 370z and getting a z06 as well or even an srt10 or acr viper. Really its up in the air and will most likely take a backseat to my next project car, so it'll be even longer before I make a decision... just going to enjoy the Z for now! :driving:

Wow! What resession? Everyone is talking about $10k turbos or just going out and buying a second car. I love my Z and may make some mods after my next deployment (plan to keep the Z until 2020 if gas is still availible). Do I wish that simple bolt-ons had more hp gains yes, but I'm not disappointed in what I get from the Z off the lot either.

I say the exact same thing every time I walk into a restaurant, "Wow look at all these people waiting in line, some recession!"

Or when I walk into an IMAX, "Wow look at all these people in here who $10+ for movie tickets, some recession!"

Just because we're in a recession doesn't mean you can't spend outside of your means, it's the American way! :usa::usa:

greatest country in the world and I am proud to serve it

those with jobs can still spend but there are more without jobs right now than ever before, and of course they are not in these forums.

The U.S. economy is still in recession. Many of us members are fortunate enough to have jobs that meets our ends. There are people out there that are laid off from their jobs and are having their lives turn upside down. Be happy that you are able to still enjoy your sports car(s) and going out to the movies.

Please don't be ignorant about the current economic situation. You only see what you want to see because the people suffering and strugling you glance past them.

Not even close my friend. We had higher unemployment under Carter/Reagan than this and certainly MUCH more during the Great Deppression.

The US is no longer in recession. Jobs, unfortunatly remain very scarce but jobs growth always lags the economic realities.

lol. exactly what just happened to this thread.

well a depression is different than a recession as it is longer and bigger. We are still in a recession as we are importing more than exporting and our trade and of prosperity is not up to par as a whole. Now weather it was worse with reagan and all Im not sure but believe me, we are still ****** right now as a country. And thse with jobs are holding back too. In here you will see alot of younger people buying things as they may not have the overall bills that some older people do, ie families to support, kids in college etc. Sure there are always exceptions but for the most part its the younger generation buying things right now. The older generation is trying to secure their retirement and not spending.

I guess we started talking about how much money it costs to juice hp from our 370z's and that it doesn't seem worth it for the amount of hp freed to people with and without money and then to the current economic status. Still about money.

its what makes the world turn, and I want more of it.

What you say makes sense to me but the fact is we are no longer in a recession. That ended a while back.

The price of bolt ons for gains in this car are more then others yes, but im looking at the total package price. To me that is HP, Looks, Sound, etc. The bolt ons you mentioned raise appeal on all those levels. The value is unmatched if you ask me. I have had to put 10-15k in evey car I have ever owned to get it to a point of balanced looks and performance. Plus I love the fact that this car does not have 100 different staged packages, from 100 different companies claming only 20 were built 600 HP+ blah blah blah like the Mustangs, Camaros, and Vettes. I want to turn heads from everyone not just gear heads. Anyway like I said all things taken in to consideration, IMO the price is not bad at all.
