All things being equal though, I'd still take a slower Aston Martin over a wicked fast Celica any day.

LoL! that corolla race motor probably had more than $100k invested into it.

Have you ever driven any of the vehicles you just mentioned?
-In no way is any zed as refined as any Porsche or Ferrari.

Drive your z34 and jump into a similar model year 911TT.. You will NOT have the same performance, its just not happening.

LoL! Alex, if/when you come visit.. we will go for a tour of my friends shop.. He has pcars doing wheelies..
993> all.. only problem is that they are still $60k if you can find them.. and the interior is just to "dated" for me..
But I would still buy one if I could afford the up-keep.

Only if it's in a manual transmission.

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.
