20K modding my first STi , 5K in my second, both ate high dollar 'super cars' for lunch, could not help but smile....lol see a couple of my vids earlier in thread

Id still mod the Z purely because I aint go the cash for the GT3 or like, but hey I got my 4 kids and a smokin hot wife anyways ;-) dont need my car $$ for that

You are in the midwest - embrace your inner hick and get a Z06 and mod it.

I would mod the hell out of the Z and call it a day. I already freak out about people hitting my car. Its been done twice since I bought it! I would be an absolute basket case driving my car if it cost 3 times as much as my Z.

Lambos, Porches, and Audi's are sweet but they would be nothing but diminished returns for me. My 370Z gives me more attention than I really want in the first place. A supercharged or TT'd 370 Z is not a car many
would want to line up an run against no matter what you are driving. This car has wicked potential for relativlely low cost.

When I had my 2005 Turbonetics ST 350Z I smoked a guy in Honda CBR-600. He even had a car length lead on me and I pulled him.

GT3, or fully built TT'd 370z.

those are your choices. deal with it.

BAHUMAT2JZ · 06-01-2010, 10:09 PM

How much whp you have in your 350z? I don't think that cbr driver knows what he was doing or he not trying....i have 07 cbr 600rr that walk my friend's 600 whp supra all day

2fast4thelaw · 06-02-2010, 01:48 PM

It delivered about 450 rwhp. Even though the car had killer top-end and tons of torque I was actually really suprized I took him. His bike looked kinda old like a 90's model but it still looked fast. I think he was more suprized that I took him on more than anything. I flat out pulled him dead to right.

Nice kill!

First off congrats on completing your residency!! I would look at what type of house you can buy first. You want a garage to house the new beast that you will build or buy. If you absolutely have to have an R8 you should consider buying a used one and doing this to it...

SmoothZ · 06-05-2010, 09:08 AM

I don't know about your finances, but I would think expenses like maintenance costs, insurance coverage, etc. would be astronomical and add to the sticker shock of having an R8 or GT3. Don't get me wrong, I would give a testicle to own a GT2 or GT3 but I'd have to seriously reconsider it because of those pesky maintenance costs.

Dont play if you cant pay. Obviously it takes money to have and maintain those cars and people with that kind of money dont care as its like us buying a honda finance wise.

Did they supercharge the V8 or the V10? A European Car Magazine article had a twin turbo V8 R8 that put down more power than the V10. Now do it to the V10...oh baby!
