Meh, it's worth it for the performance. Who's worrying about that on a $300k + car anyways?

It's not much relative to the price of the supercar, which should be pretty high to even be considered a supercar.

with a 100k invested the z wont be a super car all of a sudden but i dont know what you guys are thinking as far as the performance, you take a gallardo,italia,zr1 or any other car in that status and lets get modding

20k for a stage 3 gtm kit and a built short block(650whp or so)
8-10k for some crazy 6pot front and 4pot rear brakes
20k worth of suspension
25k worth of cf fenders,trunk,hood and other parts
3000 in tranny and cooling
and just for fun 5k worth of alcantera/leather/suede for the inside


Thats only 81000 and you dont think that car would beat a stock supercar at everything??? I think these cars are being over rated

By your price list, I see you've never built a serious build.
