I say build your Z to be a daily driven beast, build the block and boost it to 14-16 psi, you'll smoke any and all, and nobody will know what hit them, imagine.. sitting at a stoplight... yellow Gallardo pulls up, windows are down, he gives you a wink, light changes, and poor fella is shat upon by a $30,000 "best bang for the buck" sports hatch, c'mon, you know how amazing that would feel? Oh, and more importantly, do you know how much more amazing it would feel to see the look on his trophy wifes face after her husband was completely embarrassed by a Nissan? oh man, i wish i had money to blow...

lol for the money you will spend think about it this way. In a fully built Z you will have more of an attachment because like a child you have watched it grow from 260~hp to 500-600-800~hp. Not to mention you will be like me in a very exclusive group of modified cars. It will also give you the chance to make car magazine covers. Win Prize money and have a 1 of 1 car!

However, buy an exotic car like an v10 R8 or a porsche GT3 and you will have a warranty and everyone and their brother will ask you for money lol. You will get a prime time spot with the valet every where you go. But hey I get that with the Z already in ATL ;)

Honestly, I would go the built route as to me it symbolizes your artistic nature and the ability you have to create something that is your own! Anyone with enough money can buy an R8 or GT3. However, only you will build your Z the way you build it!:tup:
:iagree:

There's a great video somewhere of a C5 Z06 doing just that to cars that are 5x more expensive. :D

wow, that guy is having a hell of a time keeping that thing on the street, hell, 750whp is overkill, 500-550 would be ideal for a daily driven dream crusher.

Bail on the 370Z and just get an R8 or GT3

My ideal whp range is probably 450-550. Above that, you have a car that is unweildy on takeoffs and slower speed 'hammer drops'. Sure an 800whp Z could crush your face with acceleration from 60-120mph, but I'm not interested in smoking my tires off through 4th gear. As someone earlier said, a 500whp 370Z would stomp most exotics and be daily-driveable.

As Leno would say, I have 'an emotional attachment' to my 370Z. Would I have that with an R8? Probably. But for now, I love my girl and would really enjoy seeing her become a real sleeper.

BTW, why don't we have more vids from Bullitt's monster Z build???

Haha at first I thought he had an 8 gear transmission. Then I realized he was just bouncing it off the limiter.

:iagree:

you could always add a second fancy car later, how many supercharged or TT'ed Z's exist currently? how many R8's and GT3s are on the streets? nuff said.

If you get an R8 or the GT3 then you have a very nice car with very nice power and wont have to worry about warranty and aftermarket FI issues which will come with any aftermarket FI. So if money permits get the R8 or GT3. The last time I was at the Nissan dealership there was a GTR there that they guy payed cash for then sent it out to get all kinds of upgrades, bigger turbos was one of them. He was there for a leak in one of the turbo lines or something, which he has to pay for.

Kastley85891 05-30-2010 02:20 PM
GT's blow anyways, even track spec GT3's lol - SRSLY though, GT3RS is one of the best cars out there for track use ;-)

Id still mod the Z as I can no way afford one.... sob
