currently have 3,000 in bank and saving up .

i want to get you guys input on this as im still debating and saving up

tried searching this topic, but everytime i search something comes up with nothing so whatever.. lol

thoughts?

If you want more power, buy a more powerful car. I am here to tell you though, you will get used to whatever you do. I have over 500hp and I am used to it. It feels like 300hp used to, to me. Keep that in mind before you piss away money on mods and destroy a factory warranty.

If you're ballin' outta control like Import' is, then yes, buy a car with more HP.

If I were you, I'd forget about that FI crap. Unless, you don't plan on keeping your car for very long or you are pretty handy with a wrench.

Pffft.

A mustang 5.0 will increase the power by about 80 to the tires over the 370Z.
A used 2008 'vette by a touch more.

Actually contemplating selling my monster and getting into a Z, personally.

You can't do that! Who will keep this site interesting. No one is gonna believe you dislike the Z if you drive one, lol.

lol, going to order a 370Z as soon as they find out what's up with NAV not being available (in 16 states NOONE has a '12 370Z with NAV even though they found me over a dozen Sport models).

Stay tuned

WTF? Already? Are you even able to sell your Z06 for a decent price? You sure you don't want to just keep your Z06 until the next generation Z design&specs come out?

Yes, they are giving me a decent price on the Z06.

I would love to wait, but I would love even more to move and buy some property.

Right now, I feel that we are in limbo. Nothing really cool is coming out for another 2 years or so, and when it does, it's going to be another 2-3 years before anyone gets it right (Look how long it took Nissan to put an oil cooler in the 370Z, Ford to put a real motor in the retro mustang, GM to fix the transmission quirks in the 'vette). By the time the new cool stuff comes out and the flaws are worked out, I'll be ready to buy again--and have moved and have some property

The Z06 was all about owning a badass car, fulfilling a dream, and doing something "I just wanted to do". It's fun, it's absurd, it's over the top. I would do it all over again in a heart-beat.

That said...I have the option to refuse the 370Z when it comes in, with no love lost, according to the dealer.

I agree with Rone. For me cbe, y-pipe, and K&N drop in's are all i will need. I've learned from the pros that the more you mod the more trouble you can expect (my dealership has tried to get me to go FI before my girl Vanity is even shipped to the dealer for pick up). To me personally, after test driving the 370Z, it's more than enough power for me, my mods are just changing things i felt Nissan could have done better on.
