That point isn't valid other wise we would all be buying civic hatchbacks, foxbody's, or buick GN's and be the fastest car on the road with the cheapest amount of money put in.

If you still decide to think that way then what about a 135i? $35k, a direct competitor with the 370z ($32k for base/sport), and shares the same engine with the 335i and it would be much easier to make the 135i faster with much less money. You would need to speed close to $10,000 on the 370z in order to match a 135i with <$3000. See my point?

Ian, I've seen modded 135i's and while I do agree they are easier on the eyes they still don't do it for me. It's the headlights that does it for me, I can't stand looking at them

I agree the headlights are a sore spot.
