I've got $8,000 to spend on mods for my 370z. Need some advice.

ahhh ok... I myself am 33 and i'll be honest... if I had 8 grand i'd still be tempted to use it on my car, but think about how nice having 6 grand in the bank would be if you decide to sell the car at some point, or if you want to put some money down on a house. You can easily use 2,000.00 and add 30 whp (wheel horsepower) which is a nice jump from stock.

I HIGHLY recommend you do go to a course if for no other reason than to learn everything about the car with no other cars around just to be in a safer environment. I had 2 AWD cars in the past and coming back to a RWD let me tell you, with 30 more whp you can't screw around with this thing... it will snap right around on you if you aren't careful.
