How much would you invest in an exhaust? And I am sad that said person is not on the forums. That Z looked clean. Also I want an opinion on a spoiler other than stock sport. I like the Amuse spoiler but it seems too large. Also anyone going to FF encore this week?

I'd be down to help too dude. if you don't want to go that route you could go with test pipes and it would be really cheap and easy to install.

Gilianz, I personally haven't found anything other than stock that I really like. I really like the Amuse spoiler but I would also have to do their rear end

edub I like the Amuse kit and I'm planning to go knockoff variant, because of cost effectiveness. I am not sure about what i would do about the wing. I might go with a Nismo variant of a wing.

Look for the NISMO wing in nearby junkyards. You can basically get it for next to nothing.

Alright beer on me! if you were willing to help Id throw you tip money too, you and anyone else. I'm going to sale my Nismo S tune exhaust for like $600 and put that toward the PPE LTH and then before I buy the LTH Ill revisit this with you guys to see how serious you guys are.

de-tuned vq and 2.5 4 cyl... soo more than likely a 220hp and 300hp platform...

hmm..

IF that's the case, i'll stay 370

A "de-tuned" VQ37 in a 2,700 lb car would be a monster of a tuning platform.

depending on how they de-tune it. BUTTTT how can they get down to 2700lbs with the vq in it is what im wondering. vq is a heavy engine

m3chhawk · 10-29-2013, 12:30 PM

Small, no frills, tuner chassis?

It's going to have to be a substantially lighter/cheaper car to not compete with the Z if they are doing a de-tuned VQ.

I still think all signs point to a turbo 4-cyl for the new-platform and a ~360 HP VQ37 for the Z.

agree completely. im callin it:

2.5T (~220hp)
3.7 VQ with DI (~355hp base)

now those with 2900-3000 lbs could get interesting
