Exactly, I thought the economy was bad. I am still amazed at how the money thrown into mods and stupid stuff. (I am guilty, full of $hit int he garage)

If you just wanna GO REALLY FAST, then get a car that isn't really expensive to mod. engine swaps=expensive. engine building=expensive. turbo kits=expensive.

It's not about having the money and just buying a vette I love my Z and want to make it as unique a ride as possible for myself.

i feel like it would be logical if you had bought a salvage 370z or came into an ls motor for free or cheap.

That's why you take your time and do it right. Don't cut corners and you'll be fine.

Want to be unique? Swap in a VK56 or a built VH45DE.

But it still makes the most since to just turbo your VQ37.
