STOCK... How many of us have them?

macwest · 03-14-2015, 08:57 AM

I never touch nothing until the warranty is over. 350 hp is plenty when you can disable the nanny ****. I have a 2015 5.0 Genesis and its useless I cant shut anything off. That's why you should buy this z and not wait for the next it will have 400hp and no fun. Mac

I bought a 2013 Sports/ touring /Navi/ Bose 6 speed Z, would I like to mod it to make it sound different because really a CAI/ Exhaust will add a few ponies that you will not be able to tell the difference while driving but sure will make you engine bay pretty and your rear end even cuter

, so on that note my Z is staying stock for now (unless you count the winter rims and tires I bought as a mod...

)

Who here has or has decided to keep their Z stock? Can you truly enjoy this vehicle to the fullest if left unmodified? Please chime in your pros and cons.

I went from an 07 Si, to an 07 350Z, and now an 09 370Z. All of them have been stock. I may have done a few upgrades for cosmetics, but nothing more than that.

Pros:
-if the mods are done right, it could be beneficial for your car.

Cons:
-as modified performance goes up, reliability goes down.
-when it comes time to trade in your car, anything aftermarket will reduce the value of your car.
-certain mods can actually hurt your car's reliability AND performance, despite what the aftermarket companies claim.

Bought my 2014 new white touring + sports package 6MT on dec 12th. Now it has 1800 miles , dam snow. only thing i wanted to do with my car was exhaust and intake. BAM, i got motor dyne cat back exhaust with 5 inch blue tips (stock cats) + stillen g3 cold air intake. these 2 mods will do no hard what so ever to your car and you will still have you're warranty. I'm not trying to void my warranty also. Nothing else I'm touching performance wise.

Nothing wrong with being stock. But I challenge you if you keep on being on the forum more often one way or another you cant avoid the itch of modding your Z.

So my advice stop viewing the for sale section. My 2 cents.

My 370 is bone-stock except for intakes, tires, exhaust, pulleys, belt, all fluids, rotors, brake lines, clutch pedal, brake pads, sway bars, end links, springs and dampers.

How can you live with such a stock car?

I always thought when you say stock it means the base model trim.
So technically if you get a sports package that is no longer a stock 370z.IMO
Same goes for a Nismo.

I picked up mine at the end of Aug. 2014. Still stock as of today though the F.I. CBE waiting to go on is going to change that.
