Coils are sold. I may have something up my sleeve

Going to 135i the speed is certainly the best aspect that i like over the Z (room is a close second) , and you have that with the Z plus the Z's uniqueness ... your ingredients to you Z have made it a masterpiece, just fix n keep it, i take back everything i said to you earlier...

refund lip and diffuser/sills money and sell the wheels and coils and your good to go!!!
Chuck, you're the man!

A Z06 is the only car out there worth replacing the Z with, and I don't have 70k lol. (My parents did so I drive theirs.)
Trust me... I wouldn't get rid of it just because a damaged bumper. The entire ordeal I've gone through with the turbo kit fabrication and r&d has been hell.

I have found an '06 Z06 with 21k miles on it for 42k locally... they have really grown on me lately, but I don't think I can deal with that horrible interior and the fact that I'd be driving a 6 year old car. The Viper was my dream car when I was younger...not so much anymore, but I found my favorite color (Steel Grey) with only 27k miles on it for $42k. Then again...it's a 12 year old car. Then I've thought about an NSX...right back to an even older car.

In the end, what will I be happy with? I love the interior of the Z. I love the looks of my Z. I loved the boost of my Z. What does that add up to? Only time will tell. I'll get my bumper fixed hopefully next week and get an appointment at Nissan.
