What would u do to 370 if you won 75k

Yeah, I'd probably sell the Z and pick up a good used GT-R.

I'd keep the Z.

Do a full engine build and a ridiculous force induction kit. Full tranny build etc..

OR

I'd take that 75 k and invest it/pay down mortgage.

Yep. Or a new business venture. Or just buy a Viper. I'm too indecisive.

Easy! Keep the Z.

DON'T READ THIS PARAGRAPH.
You're going to have to trust me on this.I've been thinking this through for about a few years now and you'll never regret it. It won't cost you the full 75K, but it'll still probably burn at least half. Trust me, though. It is the BEST idea in the world!
So here's what you do, you buy a 2009 Toyota Camry. This is a very important car that you might want to consider using for this project. Remove the engine and buy an old LS1 block. It's time for a manly engine swap. You also slap on some meaty rims and tires so that the massive change in power won't make you veer into a curb. Then, you'll have to rip out the toyota emblems. Remove the rear seats, because saves weight. The next thing you'll have to do is buy the following:
A Lamborghini emblem, that Ferrari shield (with the FJ) to stick on the side of the car, ///M emblem, AMG emblem, and a VTEC sticker. (Oh, and also park bench sized spoilers)

You fuse the M and AMG to make it into an A///MG emblem and you stick it where they always place their performance emblems, which is normally the right side of the back. The lamborghini emblem will replace your toyota emblems. Stick the VTEC sticker for an additional 15hp.

Then, you go on stoplights and hope to find another sports car next to you. You rev at them and inquire to go on a friendly drag race at the green.
Don't be embarassed! They'll be laughing at you, but just wait.. you'll get the last laugh. Wait till the light turns green, then laugh like a maniac as you see their headlights turn smaller and smaller in your rear view mirror as you speed away into the night...


no, don't do that its a stupid idea. In all honesty, I'd rather trade in the Z along with 75,000 cash to grab a GT-R.

If you don't already fully own your house, put the money there first, seriously. Of course, if it was me, I'd have a hard time following my own advice too

Tough decision ---
house / GTR
house more likely to get your money back, put it to has it maintenance costs
GTR -- maintenance too, toss up....
you only live once
GTR

You asked what we would do to the Z with $75k...I would take it to a good detailer and get it washed.Then trade it for a new M3.

if I came across that money I would definitely pay down bills or your mortgage. GTR would be nice...but high to maintain.
