WTB: Track ready 370Z
 
This is a repost of my first ever post on a forum of any kind. I can see many of you rolling your eyes at the nube. I know I would be. I am open for suggestions, but the parameters in my mind are as follows:

$45-$50k
< 20k miles
Twin Turbo or Supercharged
All the mods that support the increased power including at least clutch & coolers
Increased breaking from upgraded slaves and SS lines
Increased grip from upgraded rims, tires, front and rear sway bars
Racing seats and harnesses would be icing on the cake

I'm certain to be missing anything and everything. My price may be too opportunistic.

Any help you veterans can offer is most appreciated.

I am just a humble guy looking to learn. I had a beautiful 350Z that I ran on the streets, and gave me the fever. I want to take this to the next level. Buying the right platform will get me on the track sooner, rather than later.

If anyone is of the opinion that I should start with a new car and build from there, I'd like to hear your thoughts on that path as well.

WOW! Okay. That more than fits the bill. Is that street legal? I live about 5 miles from Portland International Raceway, a 2 mile road course.

That car's featured here: 2009 Nissan 370Z and 2009 Nissan GT-R - Modified Magazine

I would just buy a Base with Sports package and build up from there. Used with low milage and spend the rest on mods. Spend maybe 24k on the car which would leave about 25k on mods. More than enough for a Big brake set up, turbos, suspension etc.

This exactly what I said in my PM............

It's his money, I'm sure he already thought about it all but sounds like he doesn't like to wait and is very eager to start racing the Z! I think you should look for a Supercharged 370z. Stage II Supercharged sounds amazing!

Make Jay an offer. You might be surprised

I have all kinds of time(+/-July). I haven't made up my mind, at all. I REALLY APPRECIATE both your input. I am easily excited. Finance wize; I could pull the trigger today, but it gets easier (financially) with each passing day. By the end of July, the money will be buring a hole in my pocket.

Found m3 supercharged
 
I found (and bought) my car! Sorry Z. It was fun while it lasted.

2001 BMW M3, 21k miles, Active Autowerks stage 3 super charger, Vorsteiner carbon fiber hood and front bumper, Dinan limited slip differential, AC Schnitzer Super Sprint exhaust, UUC Clutch & flywheel, GC front & rear sway bars, Euro M3 rotors, Pagid brake pads, AC Schnitzer suspension, AC Schnitzer short throwshifter, Dinan D900-34m software upgrade.

Clean Car Fax, One owner, every receipt from day one! $55k purchase price, $45k upgrades. My price $31k. I feel like the luckiest dog in the pound!

See the new pics - just scored the car this evening so no daylight pics.

Thanks for everyone's advice. I'll be checking the BMW forums from here on out.
