370z Dilema
 

Ok so here's my dilemma:

I've always been a car enthusiast but for some reason i've been thinking on trading the Z for something else like a 335i, Audi S4 or STi. The main reason for this is perhaps to have a 4 seater and having more power.

Before buying the Z I was clear that I wanted a boosted ride for easier HP gains. But the Z was just to damn beautiful.

So, right now i'm considering boosting the Z and buying something like an 2012 Audi A4 for daily use. The only downsize is the huge investment that this TT modification needs (around 15k).

I know that if I trade the Z and get other car i'll end up throwing money on it too so I'm not sure what should be the right path.

My goal is to have a boosted ~500HP Car and i honestly would love to have a boosted Z.

Enlighten me!

Having owned a couple BMW's I should warn you they are terribly unreliable. On top of that the price for parts is right up there with Porsche. The BMW is a great drivers car, but man, it spends a lot of time in the shop. Can't speak for Audi's, but I hear Mercedes aren't reliable either. That's why I went back to Japanese.

get at used GTR..

btw, i had a question about the 2016 STI's. particularly the STI-Limited without the ricor wing.

Are these still made in Japan or at the indiana plant?

As the last video that i see from Lunch Control on GT Chanel they are still made in Japan ;)

I'd go for a boosted Z and a DD like you mentioned. I personally think the 370 is one of the sexiest cars manufactured in the last 10 or so years. Add a turbo kit and you have the killer combo of looks and power.

cool, i read that their contract with toyota (build camry's) is supposedly ending in 2016, so im thinking starting MY17 all WRX and STI's will be made in indiana? :ugh:

:confused:

i ask because the last indiana built subie i had was a royal pos. :mad:

stay away from european cars... they're good till they have a warranty and after that you're fauked... unless you like being ... :ugh2:

Your gonna need more than 15k to boost the Z if you want to do it right.

the steering lock on the Z is european... how about the CSC? :icon08:

An what do you recommend? I'm aiming for 500 HP and being able to DD it if necessary.

damn europeans :rofl2:
500hp or 500whp... if 500hp you could get a supercharger.

with all dat power u're going to fall off your island. :ugh2:

I love my Fast Intentions TT and I would definitely go the same route if I were to do it over again.

:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

LOL that's the idea! haha

:iagree:

:tiphat:

Dilemma: to drive Z in salty corroding crap.. or not.

Here i leave you the video that i see bro :) go to minute 10:50 and hit play ;)




:iagree:

hahahhha!i think soo :bowrofl::bowrofl:

:iagree: but in my case i will save for a TT kit....

:icon08: watch your words buddy... hahaha! he are not the only one living in this little island... Fck i can even woot my Z without touch the sand of the beach hahahahha!!:wtf2:

:iagree:

carlitos :rofl2: :tup: thanks for the vid. will check it out later. :D

if you want 500whp, than you need turbo or buy a car that already has 500whp?

Kevoh in my personal opinion... from the options that you said my recommendation is STI all day long... very reliable... but buy from new here in PR for me is not an option bro... is too expensive.... i dont know if you ask already to the dealer but if you are looking for the STi they are starting from $54k to around $60k for the Sti Limited... is too expensive... just my 2 cents! anyway they are great cars (i have own a 2005 Sti before buy my Z) and i did almost all the mods you can imagine hahah! and i can say that im going to buy another maybe in 2016....

hahhahaha!! no problem bro! i like to help :tup:

let me know when you see it ok ;) I was thinking the same before see that video... can imagine that the new STi was building in Japan... I dont like to much the new chassis...but with the time it start to like me hahah!

:iagree: Also i have to mention that to reach the 500whp in a STI prepare your pocket.... cause you need big turbo, fuel upgrade, forged internals, etc... just to mention a few things...

The most whp that i reach on my STi before the engine goes was 415whp on 93oct gas with stock internals and a FP Green turbo.... off course i have another upgrades but this is not a Subaru web page hahaha! so im not going to enter in details...
