If your focus is the track I think I would look for a different car unless you are in love with the idea of keeping and boosting the Z and throwing stock blocks at it. Corvettes are nice.

The track isn't my only focus, but the fact is that the Z is my fun car that's primarily used for either a road trip (just me and my gf and a few duffel bags) or used on the track. And for that it's perfect! Other than the power aspect.

And honest question - what do you mean throwing stock blocks at it....is boosting it so risky? I always had my eye on the basic Z1 kit (or similar) that gets you to 450-475hp which I believe should be enough. Is my thinking naive here, that the stock block should endure it no problem?

Actually, for a supercharger that sounds like a good power target for longevity. If it is mostly a street car that should last a while with a good tune and supporting mods. I don’t know a lot about the quality of the Z1 kit though. What I meant by my last post is: any time you take a boosted Z to the track, I would be prepared for anything. Maybe some track rat boosted folks if there are still any around can chime in.
