Also, aftermarket forced induction on a daily driver is a poor choice. I did it for years, but it is not the best way to do things. Even a reliable boosted Z will be down from time to time for parts, etc.



Honestly, if this is your first car the absolute worst thing I can think of is you having 500+ whp in a short wheelbase vehicle with traction problems.

^^^ This all day long. I would consider my first go around as having been reliable and it was in and out of the shop for various issues. Some small and some not so. Mine was basically the first production Fast Intentions TT kit to hit the street after the prototype kit. Chuck was in the game way before me and he shared his ups and downs and his decision to get a reliable daily driver. Fortunately for me the Z is a second car for me. Also, you should have the finances to deal with high performance issues. When you move to doing high performance mods your Z becomes a BOAT which stands for Bring On Another Thousand and that is for small repairs.
