Finally back in the Z club

Rupie · 11-15-2012, 10:32 AM

Hey everyone, great to be here. Had a '93 Twin Turbo back in the day. Sold it in '96 to pay for flight training to become an airline pilot. Well here I am almost 20 years later. I just bought a 2013 Gun Metallic 6sp Sport yesterday, right off the truck (first to drive it). I had my 93 up to about 400 hp, and my '13 out the box at 332hp,... so sweet. So happy to be in the club, I'm still grinning. Cant wait to do the mods. What first? 400hp is probably the goal, not to extreme but def. a boost. Man, did I tell you how happy I am...

Welcome! Great color choice!

Your next mod should be exhaust! Definitely get rid of that stock sound & either beef it up or quiet it down--- either way gaining some hp with a full catback!

LOTS TO CHOOSE FROM.

About the power...
Unfortunately you are only putting down about 260-270whp..

So getting to 400hp will not be possible without going forced induction!

You can get about 330whp though. Maybe 360-400hp at the crank!?
