Thanks Ricardo, the current Z generation wins hands down in the look department over cars that cost twice or even 3 times as much. I admit catching myself checking out the curves on the car at times One of the huge plus with the Z is the value to price ratio, it almost doesn't get any better than this and yes why go for a more expensive car when you can go with one that offers excellent performance at a mighty reasonable price.
Enjoy boosting your car and post up pics when done

Dude, please use spell-check or slow down. With minimal mistakes an average human can still read sentences and comprehend. That **** looks like some crap my 13yr old daughter would text to someone.

</off-topic>

OK, on-topic........If you think going F/I is a bargain, you are in for a surprise. If you go with GTM, you can purchase a turn-key it and be OK for a while. However, you must think supporting parts, maintenance, and "oh crap" funds with any F/I build. If you put my girl's income with mine, we still don't make 6 figures. I have a budget that I call "fun money" that supports my hobbies. I also have a credit card specifically for that "oh crap" moment. Hope you have fun with your Z.............

LOL......I got a CC with a pretty good limit on it just for a possible blown motor incident. That will give me a reason to go with forged internals.

<side bar>

When I get outta this hell-hole, I'm gonna look you up dude. Most definitely when I am on post-tour leave.

Legal department? Wow...............

So I guess I am supposed to infer that I am one of the bad seeds of the forum because of the statement that I made. The more I deal with Americans, the more I fell like our society has become soft and weak (and I am American, lol). I guess being in........let's call them interesting situations has given me a different perspective on things as a whole.

Ricardo2.0:

Don't worry, I will stay out of your threads from now on. I did not intend on making you feel like you were being attacked. However, this is a public forum and you volunteered to post. You should have a little thicker skin if you are doing what you say you are. I never questioned your income, I just had a REALLY hard time reading what you posted. I also took the time to share my plan to give you an idea of what you are getting into. Please DON'T PM me. I would rather not be bothered. Good luck with your purchase.........

GUYS ABOVE THANKS FOR THE ADVICE AND REPLY'S///
A GTM STAGE 1 installed is about 8k with turn key tuned. Pm me if you need more info.

The fact is Today i call GTM and i will be getting something they called turn key SC kit they said is the best B for the buck. The install will be done locally by professionals for 1,200.00 I am exited about this and will post pics as i move with my project toy. One more thing i was stationed in CA FT Irwin before i moved to AZ and I finish with my lease 2000.00 monthly payments on my SUV. I was approved for 110,000.00 for a vehicle not counting that my wife drives a Rover and my son also has a vehicle... Now purchase a GTR or a 911 is not the problem but to myself is not well invested money. When you have kids two houses a business you don't think in yourself with a 70,000 or 90,000 car you think in your family first.. my old suv is in some carmax in CA i just send them some paperwork they requested trough Porsche of ND. take a look at my old truck LOL
2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS in Costa Mesa, CA- 7698009 at carmax.com


Reality and New Y i spend almost 20min of my time writing this remember you owe me 20 min of your time.
20 min to type this, really?.. My apologies.

-I don't think anybody cares what you can or can't buy. But if you are hesitant to drop $10k to mod your z, than you probably couldn't afford either the GTR or the 911TT, AS A DD
*You should read up on the cost of the GTR's first service.. *

And save me the grandstanding about how much you sacrifice for family... Nobody has questioned that, nor would they. I have some friends who make mid or higher 6 figures/year, but drive around in 3 series bmw's, only because they want to invest for their families futures.. Not waste $ on project/toys, as you said.

Food for thought:
-You are boosting your DD.. that is a recipe for headaches/heartaches.
-If you think that you're in the clear after the FI install, you have a surprise in store for you.
-If you don't have the money for a full rebuild of your motor, you are not ready for FI.

Ricardo, the GTM SC kit is pretty popular on the forum and should give the extra umph you are looking for. My main thing with going FI though is that problems are to be expected. A few members on the forum had very bad experience while others seem not to go through as many issues. As for me personally, I would use the money to go FI and apply it on a GTR without losing any warranty.

Cool website boss man

Ricardo,

I have a hard time believing that your company is bringing in 250k+ if you don't know how to structure your sentences correctly. As for your website, (I'm a designer and developer) you should probably change the copyright date.

Anyways GL w/ the boost.

Ricardo/GrandPa,
I surely hope you are well into your 70's, if you are calling me "kid"...

- Reading & Writing.. It's "fundamental"... So you really should get on that..

I look forward to your "I blew my engine, now what do I do" thread...

GL!

Not trying to be a ****, but there are plenty of people that are much more wealthier than we are while still not being able to form a simple sentence in english...
