my opinion on this though differs from most people, if you ask me which is better, ill tell you it depends on the setup, what kind of race, ect. sure making tons of WHP looks great on paper, but if the car is unbalanced and the power curve is jaggid and has spikes in certain places, that car will never be able to touch a balanced car making 50 less whp through the corners but take the same cars and race them in a straight line, the one making more power will smoke the balanced car

at the end of the day though, its up to you and what your goals for the car are, i recommend going for a ride in a FI Z one day, i rode in the stillen 370z once and all i can say is WOW, completely different than my car

in fact, it made my car feel slow for a few weeks until i got use to it again
Thanks. Your experience is useful to me. Well, my goal is to track the car, I don't like drag race actually but track. What I worried is TT Z maybe generate too much heat, even though GTM has good reputation, still an after market kit. I need more opinions to judge it. Of course it should be fine for 1-2 round but what about 3-4? Not sure yet and still waiting for someone's experience.

I drove evo and dc5r before, not heavy mod for both. They are brilliant on the track. But you know, the Z has attracted me somehow, and she is rwd(I drove awd,fwd.), I think I don't need to mention why the Z attracts me obviously you guys knew it.

I dont even know where can I install the GTM kit in australia, hopefully it is not a complicated kit otherwise I am not sure anyone in aus can install it properly.
