My remark wasn't an attack, but an '09 Z goes for somewhere in the ballpark of 22-28k . Add 20k for a turbo kit, parts/labor/tune included, and you're still under the price of any '09 GTR I can find for sale. For 65k you could turn a used Z into a twin turbo beast with any sort of navigation system you wanted, rework the suspension, paint it yellow, and Still have money to spare. So no, it doesn't add up to me.

What also doesn't add up is how a 5-second 0-60/13.5-ish 1/4 mile could ever be called slow or sluggish. Sure, there are faster, better cars. They're also 2-3x the price, which your target of under 65k could have easily bought.

Also FWD isn't inherently bad, if you don't care about weight distribution, wheel hop, understeer, and so on. FWD works great in 90% of driving situations.

I guess what I don't understand is, if you can afford 7 turbo cars that all make the Z feel like bus, and you have 65k to spare, why does this thread even exist? Shouldn't you just be asking where the closest shop is that you can give your money to? By all means please do! We need as much aftermarket activity as possible! At some point these turbo kits need to become affordable for people like me!
