The I can't modify it 370Z preservation club!

Stock totally except for the Z1 25 row oil cooler. No need for anything else. Zero issues around here in Europe, and on the Autobahn I have no problems with stock power available at all. I have had zero inclination to alter the Z.

I have modded/ tuned before including an Audi, Lotus Turbo Esprit and an Abarth 500 to name a few. To each his own with what you want or need in your ride.

Lotus Esprit Turbo - Wow. I would love to know how the 370Z compares! PM me if you get a chance!

Lotus Turbo Esprit

I would think the Z needs more modding than a Lotus Turbo Esprit. But what do I know.
You have had some nice cars.

Mine was pretty much stock except for a Borla cat-back exhaust when I sold it a few weeks ago. I still have 20mm spacers brand new in the box. To each their own on modding. I'm with the OP in that I didn't want to start cutting and hacking a pristine car. I knew I wasn't going to keep it for many years wanting a torquey V8. I did a lot of reading on this forum and it seems gains were very miniscule/dollar so I weighed the risk vs reward. My logic was, do hardly anything or wait until warranty expired and go full bore forced induction. Not many competent shops to do that sort of thing in my neck of the woods so that was a factor as well. The car was pretty good off the floor IMHO and there was nothing that could have fixed what I wanted to change anyway.
