That would be nuts. Still debating on whether or not I want to do the 4.08 gears/diff. They are some pretty awesome mods that would help a lot on the track, but I don't want to spend too much money on the Z.

Because you might trade it in for a 5.0 or Shelby???

Nope, the only thing I'm trading the Z in for is a GT-R

Nope not that agressive at all, just optimized for mods, DD, untouched knock sensor...its legit

Build consists of:
CAI, boss manifold, longtubes, exhaust, stage 1 comp cams and heads, and a93 tune...that's it! Only diff for me is am doing shorty headers withh off road H...so I might a few hp short of 500rwhp...now there saying that 550+ is possible NA

that's insane. at 500whp you are probably pushing close to 120hp/L

That was the same issue I had with the z...I was basically at a crossroads were I wouldn't be happy without wildwoods, LSD/gears, and sc....and I realized it wasn't worth it.

One day when the prices drop I may buy one again as a beater for track days and such.

I think I wanna stop after HFC's, Uprev, SP wheels, Akebono BBK, and maybe rear sways. After that I can just claim it as a sport package Z if I try to trade it in, I doubt the dealership will even know
