It's insanely capable, but it doesn't reach me on an emotional level, and that's a requirement for the price tag and astronomical cost of ownership. That being said, my boosted Z is exactly what I wanted. There's some downsides though. I'd expect it to cause a major drop in your resale value, especially if you trade it in. Mods generally count against you when you sell. If you're not planning on owning the car long term, don't do something so drastic as boosting the Z.
This response really struck a chord with me . . . Although the GTR is a ridiculously nice car, i'm not a huge fan of the lines and, other than my previous knowledge of its supercar capability, it doesn't have that "WOW" factor when i look at it. I really enjoy the lines of my Z and I like the idea of building up a car to the way i want it. So, in summary, i think i'm going to boost the Z and make it into what i want, and we'll see what the future holds for my next car. Maybe i'll get a GTR down the road or maybe the new NSX if it ever comes out. Either way, i think i'll be happy with a crazy fast Z. Thanks again guys for the feedback.
