You decide if thats worth it

Where are you getting your numbers from?
A brand new Z can be had for under 35k easily, a TT kit with all the fixings (so this includes a tune) is 15k.

OP if you want real numbers:
Car - 25-35k
TT - 8k
Gauges - 1k
Clutch upgrade - 1200

Total: 35,000-45,000

That is all you need to be up & running, if you get the factory BBK you will be fine for awhile. I went 19k miles (then added boost) to 50k miles on the stock BBK rotor, pads, etc before replacing them. Coilovers/springs/wheels/tires are not really needed unless you want so throwing those into the cost is not necessary.

He's just unhappy about his car purchase and trying to talk others out of buying a Z by bitching and massaging the numbers to make it look bad. Apparently he doesn't understand that his gripes are vastly in the minority, and being the one contrarian on a forum of enthusiasts who completely disagree is a huge waste of time. It's not a perfect vehicle (hint- that doesn't exist), but it's not the POS he seems to want all of us to think it is.

Yep, no car is perfect and by the sounds of the OP he prefers to tinker with cars. Meaning that the brakes are not 100% perfect or the suspension is soft or the exhaust lacks that sports car sound, well that is ok because he is fine with making them better to balance his power or weight changes.

That's the fun part.
