Would this make you mad?

Throw in an in-dash DVD player and some good speakers, maybe a custom leather kit and you've made your ride different than all the others. This wouldn't cost a ton of $ either and might even be possible for $3k or slightly more.

I don't get the OP and frankly don't care. Maturity is earned not given. He actually reminds me of a friend of mine. Too much ME ME ME ME ME

I've got a base with no sport. I bought it because I could get into one brand new at a great price point and then, as you suggest, mod it to my heart's delight, but that's not limited to showy mods. I'm doing aesthetic touches right now, because I don't want to mess with it before the warranty's up, but after that it may become my track toy. You can buy an LSD and better brakes after market, you know. The wheels and body kit are merely aesthetic mods. And SRM is ok, but not necessary to enjoy the vehicle imo.

Good purchase decision!

I wouldn't care to dive into modding the brakes and such, but that's my preference (not gospel). The sport package brakes are quite good from the factory, even without NISMO pads. Adding an LSD seems like a chore but some folks like that stuff. Back in the day I had a '99 Civic Si supercharged with a ton of mods and I did all the work myself. It was cool and I got that out of my system at the cost of $10k. Now I just buy what will make me happy and enjoy having a warranty too.

To each his own...that's what I love about car forums and sports cars in general. Each of us can do what we want and it's great to see folks modding the 370Z to get more from it. To be upset that someone else likes your car and wants to get one too just doesn't make ANY sense to me. If you want a unique stock 370Z you should go buy ALL of them.

I love meeting car enthusiasts, especially if they're Z owners. I love to see what they did differently.
