Former Z Owner's Rant about the 370z

I think what you aren't really covering (and if someone mentioned this I apologize, I didn't read the whole thread) is that you are comparing a car that maxxes out slightly above 40k to cars that start around 60k+ (M3 and Cayman S that is)... with the difference in price you are not only beating M3s and Caymans but probably Z06s and other higher end performance muscle cars. Sure you have to go FI but that shouldn't be anything you should be embarrased or upset about. Dollar for dollar Nissan gives you a whole heck of a lot with the Z... it is already pretty well tuned so everyone has to expect that bolt ons aren't going to free up a whole heck of a lot.

Everyone including myself gets sucked into spending thousands on NA mods and not seeing any astounding results which I can understand frustrates people but that just proves you have something pretty good from the factory.

Now if FI kits would only come down in price we would really be able to show those guys something... just my 2 cents.
