I love my Z. I wish it had more power, but that is what happens when you spend $40k or less. If I want great handling andn 500+ HP I need to spend more.

I fixed my noise problem with a Stillen exhaust and Michellin Pilot Sports. Forget about Dynamat, it weighs too much anyway. Oil cooler solved overheating. With all my mods and tires, I am still just below $40k excluding tax. I have even had the pleasure of defeating cars* costing 2-4 times this.

Infinion Raceway auto cross.

Best bang for the buck car ever.

That's exactly the mod list I was thinking about .... Thanks for the info.
See you at Infineon !!! Plus a procharger would take care of the HP woes if you need to.
Yes, about $10K ... But, $10K + $35K = $45K ... It would beat ZO6 @ $75K However, used 2004 Z06 $25K with adams S/C $8500 = $33.5K and Kills ZR1's... (next toy)

...and it would be an un-balanced warranty-less creation. Pass. If you want to beat a Z06, buy a ZR1. There is no free lunch.
