Nope, no blue Z. Not in the budget anyway.

I live 90 miles (almost exactly) from Watkins Glen. They don't.

If that signature is your white 370z, you don't need another car..

Oil coolers..

One time purchase, relatively cheap

Brake upgrades..

Should be something you get regardless if your car is "track ready", and is hardly uncommon...

Exhaust upgrades...

Not required

And so much more..

Like?

The ZL-1 will spank them right out of the Dealership... So what you are spending in extra money(5000), all Z car owners must spend to still be slower...

Sounds like money well spent..

The ZL1 also costs almost double what I paid for my Z, and weighs over 600lbs more. Sounds like you drank that Kool-Aid pretty good :-p

But you have a 370Z and it looks great....So much better than a 350Z..

If we hadn't already had a white Car, we may have gone with a White 370Z..

They look great

Notice the cars I own...No Koolaid needed..

And with only 30K Dollars into my 40 year old car that IS track ready, I can embarrass many a 370Z on the track all day long...

For the price of the ZL-1 , I have two cars..

580hp, V8, front brake coolers, engine oil cooler, supercharger intercooler, trans cooler, rear end cooler, LSD, 5 position selection for traction and suspension settings (from wet cruising to full on track), electromagnetic shocks, independent rear, two piece brake rotors with 6 piston calipers on front, fully integrated and wind tunnel tested aerodynamics including air extracting hood. 180mph top speed.

And here's my former collection.

So don't think I'm some Camaro hater or something :-p. My point is just that the arguments about this ridiculous sum to get on the track are kinda silly - the cost to get the Z track ready is less than $1000, total. That's chump change for someone getting on the track - you should know this. This isn't "a lot of work" - its a weekend at most, and for many could be all be done in a single day.

There was a new gunmetal ZL1 at the car show this morning. I'll get some pics up when I get unlazy. It was nice.

The perfect car to START HPDE-ing with. It's going to take you a lot of weekends just to get even remotely close to maxing your skills out with that car in STOCK form lol.

Easier to learn to drive a slow car fast, than it is a fast car fast.

I wouldn't say that's necessarily true. It's fine learning on a powerful car as on long as you have a lot of open space to spin and not hit anything.
