A few questions!

Don't forget to turn the vdc off. That thing really gets in the way of having fun with the car.

BTW, getting the touring and sport edition with nav. So first question, is their any way to get a new 370z in yellow? Because I have seen a few that color on the forums but never have seen it on Nissans website or dealerships. And I think that is the best looking color. Second is after I get the car I have around 10-20k to spend on it. I want to get some aftermarket rims, but the rest I want to spend on performance. I honestly know around as much as a squirrel when it comes to car parts/aftermarket stuff etc. So what would be some good upgrades to get? Looking into a few things but I really don't know what I'm doing so help would be appreciated! And don't worry will treat this car like it was my baby! Oh and last question, with the upgrades what kinda numbers could I get? Thanks everyone

It's about time the op chimes in....the "observers" have more questions than the original post.

inquiring minds want to know...

Is it bad that I had to google "daft" to find out what it meant?
But thanks for the replies everyone. The money is out of my pocket, my parents aren't paying for it. But anyways was going to get GTM TT, Rims, exhaust,oil cooler and don't know what else. But like I said, don't know much about cars so yeah...
EDIT: And thanks Rooster, I now realize that naming my age was a pretty big mistake. And I have been lurking the forced induction part of the site. But I'll read that thread, Thanks

Hey NissanUSA, no offense, I am just plain curious, you have 50k to buy a car and 20k to mod it, and those are your own money, and you are 16.

How could you save up 70k in how many year???

thanks

Earn around 30k from golf tournaments. Invest in gold, silver, and palladium. Watch silver quadruple, palladium double, and gold rise by around 1.5x.

I find it hard to believe you've worked for this considering you can only legally work and get paid at 14 with VERY limited hours until after your 16. U.S. Department of Labor - Find It By Topic - Youth & Labor - Age Requirements So 70k saved in a year or so (50 for car 20 on modds) seems a bit far fetched. If it's trust fund money or right out of dads pocket. You still haven't worked for it so you don't know the value of money so it's easy to blow through it and throw it around like it's no big deal.
