Congrats on doing your research ahead of time and welcome to the forum.


I was going to post the exact thing. Modding the Z for FI when coming from a pre-piped car will shock you. $15,000 in a 2.0gc coupe will round out your mods. $15,000 here will get you the parts, but not the work or suspension tunes etc... lol

I would strongly look at FI cars like the 135i and evo or look into a Z06 vette, unless you wanna drop $30,000 in a Z? lol

Let me add that 30k in a Z will build you a car that will be hard to defeat on a track, but it will cost you.

I definitely prefer the Z to the G-Coupe but also understand their appeal.
If they just fixed their transmission issues and swapped out iron suspension parts for QUALITY aluminum ones, we might be fvcked on a track??? The engine on the GC is underrated basedon shytty transmission build quality and overprotective tuning. Its a group of small things holding the GC back.
