When I got the Z, I made sure to get the one that had all the options I could put on so that I didn't have to change a thing (except winter rims and tires) and when people look at my car they ask if I did the calipers, the suspension, the exhaust etc because they can't believe a Z would be made like that right out of the factory and there are so few in my neck of the woods to compare. So unless you want to dress up the engine compartment with a CAI, make it stupid fast with engine/ ecu mods (and really how often can you hit 100 mph in nano seconds unless you track the car) the Z ( at least w/ the sports package, manual, navi ) is IMHO a complete car...(now I'm toying w/ the idea of doing a rear fog light mod just because I think it should have come with it,at least a 4th brake light)  |
i agree 100%... with the exception of a few cosmetic mods (auto shift knob, gtr dome light lenses, z emblem bumper badges, z valve stem caps, and i made a storage compartment out of my dummy console switches) my z is pretty much stock... it always turns heads and several people have asked what the heck it was... said it looks too exotic to be a nissan
also, and i could be wrong here, but it seems to me that the ones who mod the car are the ones who have problems/issues all the time... guess my opinion is if i want something faster or with bigger wheels or with turbo, etc. i would've bought a different car... but that money thing always gets in the way... or i'd have the new viper instead
