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

So many choices!

If you enjoy the Z, stick with it and mod the hell out of it if you can afford it.

If you don't... well then. I personally could never see daily driving an R8 though, lol.

Hey Jamaica Dont give away my secret sauce!!!

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!

Since you mentioned daily driver as well, I would get the R8 V10, but you know what opinions are like

didymus · 05-30-2010, 12:31 PM

R8 is pretty freaking sweet..

m4a1mustang · 05-30-2010, 12:32 PM

I still like the idea of hoarding cash for a year.

Red370 · 05-30-2010, 12:33 PM

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...

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

But he isn't going to be embarrassed because he's the one in the Gallardo with the hot wife

as if his trophy wife actually would give a damn that her husband's Gallardo was beaten by a modded Z
