Nice. Have you decided on what you are going to do with the car? Build the motor, sell it, etc?

COSMO · 11-25-2013, 03:56 PM

To be honest I really don't know. This is my 2nd boosted z and I love the car but finding decent shops and parts seem poor and I now worry about further problems down the road. I am considering a m3, Porsche, or even a gtr. The bottom line is, it is so much easier to make a fast car faster.. Most company's who do make aftermarket parts for the z are just in it for the quick buck and lack customer service when needed after.

New M4 looks super tempting too

elperuano · 11-25-2013, 04:25 PM

Price tag on any upgrades for GTR is scaaary.

You don't need to upgrade one though. That's the advantage

I bet there is a civic that will whoop your àss too. So if we want to compare apples to bottled water, we can.

This if the FI thread. Of course there's someone always faster. But no one here would buy a car and leave it stock. Why spend gtr money to be slower than a boosted g or z. We all know in this community they will upgrade and the price tag for that is the scary part.

But as for OP, go ahead and buy a gtr. I'm sure you'll stay stock when ur older model 370 with boost leaves u in the dust.

Like someone else mentioned, why even buy a Z then? Why not drive a stripped down supra or a 9 second civic? By your logic you shouldn't own a Z either.
