I dont blame you guys for wanting something faster from factory. Its just personal taste. I could buy an R8 and still want to toy with it. Just a hobby I suppose. or im just sick in the head and like to live on the edge and risk breaking thousands of dollars :D

Don't get me wrong, I like toying with stuff too. No car I own will ever be left alone. But I also just try to be a little realistic about it too. It was just never worth it (to me) to try and get more power out of the Z34 platform via FI.

Yeah I would mod any car I get, just probably not go crazy with an FI kit.

I would potentially FI, I'd just do it on a platform that I felt was good for it.

when you double the power of a car and don't upgrade other parts to go along with it, it essentially becomes an unsafe straight line car lol..

I have this conversation with a lot of customers, but everyone loves to go fast in a straight line, it's a measurable way of saying hey my car is cooler than yours, or the internet version, hey my d!ck is bigger than yours. Take your car, do some stuff to it, but go to a road course, learn to drive your car, learn to take it to it's limits

But hey if you want to go fast in a straight line, to each their own, but for those 8-14 seconds, you risk breaking a hell of a lot of stuff haha

So true.

I cant stand straight liners. Im tired of seeing stupid high HP/TQ cars that cant do anything because they spin 1-3 gears. I mean its cool to push those limits in a street car I just dont find it too fun. I have two friends that have a 1000whp supra and a soon to be 1700whp+ TT Viper and they cant drive it other than in the summer and must be super careful on the throttle and cant race unless rolling from 60-70mph on slicks. whatever happened to the drivers car? :ugh2:

Different strokes for different folks. :)

For those 8-14 seconds, you're free :icon17:

Yeah this is pretty much what I'm doing now. Got bored of straight line drag racing and now I'm doing road courses to improve my driving skills. I'll be doing the same for whatever car I get next.

Never have but Hondas are easy and cheap to do. They are also catalog cars meaning everything is pretty cut and dry and could piece together a good build with very little effort. I would need to research it and do some reading but I have a few friends that are Honda nuts. I even know a guy with a 800whp s2k :driving:
