TT, SC, or just get an R8 or Porsche GT3?

Honestly i want more power im pushing 500whp and sometime around 550. But it feels needs littlebit more ponies. Im saving up to build my engine now looking for 600~700whp

how is this even a question...get the GT3!!!

Even if your power-weight ratio was the same, you are not going to keep up with a GT3. And who cares if it can anyways...the Porsche is a nicer car all around.

But he isn't going to be embarrassed because he's the one in the Gallardo with the hot wife

In my experience....no matter how fast you think your car is.......trying to race a lambo gallardo lp560-4 is not a great idea. His launch control will rip you apart. It's one thing to have a lot of power on paper and another thing entirely transferring that power to the pavement.

I agree with Red. Theres a sick satisfaction of beating a car that you shouldn't be able too.

Unless i was stinking rich i dont think i would partake in either of those cars. Although a GTR and a Corvette sound nice to me.

as if his trophy wife actually would give a damn that her husband's Gallardo was beaten by a modded Z

I would mod the hell out of the Z and call it a day. I already freak out about people hitting my car. Its been done twice since I bought it! I would be an absolute basket case driving my car if it cost 3 times as much as my Z.

Lambos, Porches, and Audi's are sweet but they would be nothing but diminished returns for me. My 370Z gives me more attention than I really want in the first place. A supercharged or TT'd 370 Z is not a car many
would want to line up an run against no matter what you are driving. This car has wicked potential for relativlely low cost.

When I had my 2005 Turbonetics ST 350Z I smoked a guy in Honda CBR-600. He even had a car length lead on me and I pulled him.

It delivered about 450 rwhp. Even though the car had killer top-end and tons of torque I was actually really suprized I took him. His bike looked kinda old like a 90's model but it still looked fast. I think he was more suprized that I took him on more than anything. I flat out pulled him dead to right.
