All those mods kill re-sale, destroy warranty, and last I checked, noone knows how to tune them anyway. Stillen was getting junk numbers in customer cars, and the Greddy kits produce crazy jagged power-curves indicative of someone not knowing how to get the VVT technology to mesh with the kit. A car with a mod like that is just a nightmare from a practicality standpoint in my experience.
Guess I should yell at my car it should not be running right.
You are looking at the wrong car, you talk about cars in the 60k range and then bring in the Z.

By your added statement, you are definitely looking at the wrong car.
Nissan has a car that does that and then some, GT-R.

The GT-R just doesn't do it for me. The lazy automatic transmission and the heavy curb-weight, etc.

You are right, I am looking at hte wrong car with the 370Z, but 400bhp would make it the right car. IT frustrates me. EVERYTHING about it is perfect but for the weak paint, and the weak engine.

How much did you spend to make your car run right? Exactly how much horsepower is it making? How much did it cost to upgrade the driveline/tires/etc. so that you can put it to the ground without it breaking, and without just blowing the tires off?
