TT, SC, or just get an R8 or Porsche GT3?

My little dream vacation right now is a two week roadtrip to Stillen or GTM, drop the car off, enjoy the area for a while, and then pick it up

My little dream vacation right now is a two week roadtrip to Stillen or GTM, drop the car off, enjoy the area for a while, and then pick it up in its transformed state . Reality might just be shipping it there though.

For all around ease, the R8 V10 would be my #1 choice. It would be a fun daily driver as well, looks incredible (just saw one today and OMG), and is still a track beast. My concern is that I'd be devastated wrecking an R8 or GT3 on a track. The Z would be a bummer but not as life ending. I agree with you guys that spanking some big name cars with the Z would be very gratifying. Also, I love the idea of knowing my car the way it is now, and then experiencing it in the SC/TT version.

That's funny that you mentioned that, we actually are about to get another customer from Florida bring his car out here to us and stay for about a 3 week vacation here is sunny San Diego while we install his complete new race built motor, twin turbo kit, brakes, and suspension.

Having customers cars shipped here to us for full builds and track prepping is something we do all the time. A majority of our customers are from out of state. We have customers from as far away as Canada, Tennessee, Florida, New York, etc that have shipped us their cars to have various work done, including quite a few complete track/ race car transformations. We have built more track dominating beastly Z's than anybody else in the country, including the winning-est time attack 350Z and also the nations fastest and winning-est track prepped time attack G35. These cars make very light work of both the R8 and the GT3 that you speak of, LOL

Although I can see the pro's and con's to both.... transforming your Z into a more track worthy car, or just buying a more out of the box capable car. It is a tough choice and all comes down to what YOU wanna do....
