But I have one question left for everyone. I researched the forced injection forums a little like *Forgot his name* said. And I still don't get the difference between twin-turbo and supercharged. Is their like a simple way to explain the differences or is it more complex than that? I did find this TT kit
GTM Motorsports*::*FORCED INDUCTION*::*GTM 370Z (TURN KEY) TWIN TURBO KIT
But I can't find any numbers for it and don't know if this is better than the GTM supercharger or what? Sorry for my confusing writing but basically, GTM supercharger vs GTM TT? And on the TT page. It has "Turbo Kit Stages" and they say 500hp, 700hp, 900hp, 1000hp. Can someone explain this for me? And what would be like the 0-60 times with the TT or supercharger? (Yes, I know 0-60 doesn't matter to most people but jw.) Thanks again
NissanUSA, nice to see you earning your own bread. (I see 20 somethings driving Enzos around Tampa and turbo'd Lambos on youtube and I admit my first thought is TRUSTFUND) Looks like you may be able to sustain that income for a long time to come. I also understand your attraction to this car. I'm 49 and just HAD to have it when I saw it....BUT (and this is a BIG but...) you REALLY need to start with a lesser vehicle (or buy a second, cheaper car to gain experience with) because you WILL wreck. First let me point out Nick Bollea (or Hogan if you like). Youth+$$$+invincibility= getting in over your head. Second, I've always hotrodded American V8s (older cars...60s thru 80s) they are predictably lazy and easy to "drift" or fishtail on the street. I've had my 370 for 7 months now, still screw around on vacant lots or lonely roads and these cars can get away from you QUICKLY. Start a slide and just once lift off the throttle and the snap steer will either spin you out or put you in the ditch. Please consider the sage advice of the members here.
