2nd car being sold. What to do with $$$ !?!

Buy yourself a cheap D.D, if you were in an environment with decent weather year around I would just use the Z as a D.D and invest that 14K. Unfortunately

Unfortunately the Z's value will not be effected that much either way, as I see used Z's with higher mileage selling for as much as those with low mileage. Now what the difference the owner gets I dunno...

Save the money, put it in the bank, and decide when its NOT burning a hole in your pocket.

If it isn't paid off or nearly so, I wouldn't do FI -- that money will be gone before the first tuning bug crops up with most kits.

I'd take as much as as you can bear to part with and pay down the lows (say, at least 4 grand?), then you've got 10K for whatever floats your boat.

Start with the basics -- if you've already got intake, exhaust, suspension/brake stuff dialed in to your liking, I'd look into a nice set of PPE headers, a tune, and call it a day.

Even if you get stuck buying new O2's (the whole header removal/replacement process is notorious for killing them..), you'll have plenty left over if something like a nice shiny IM should ever come out or you find you need new tires (not cheap on this car), or to save or spend on other things.

If the car is paid off or close to it, another thing to consider is how likely you will want to keep it in a few years.
