got a 370z have some questions asapppp

[btimola]

Wow...

Ok 1st off i have 7 cars. And no no hondas, actually all german except the frontier and now the z. My friend didnt dump money into it, he bought it like that. Has bad credit. He was trying to recoup some cash. I got the z as a more reliable option. What does it matter that my gti is a 2003? They only made 1000 yellow in the u.s. a civic? Wow really? Nissan is the only japanese line i like, and 80% being because of the gtr. Pay off in a year ehmm yeah i never pay minimum payments...all my cars are paid off. Plus i sold 3 of my quads and will be putting the 11k into the loan. If you pay minimum payments on your car good luck. The z drives well, but lacks power, and if you cant see that then i bet you havent driven many fast cars. It has a ton of potential and love the look.

In other news, just installed a pioneer touchscreen and custom sub box w sub and amp.

O.P.

To do a Twin turbo kit right for our cars your looking at 15-20K if im not mistaken...

Yep. The kit alone is 10k. Supporting mods will be another 3-5k. That's all before you figure in labor and tuning.

My remark wasn't an attack, but an '09 Z goes for somewhere in the ballpark of 22-28k . Add 20k for a turbo kit, parts/labor/tune included, and you're still under the price of any '09 GTR I can find for sale. For 65k you could turn a used Z into a twin turbo beast with any sort of navigation system you wanted, rework the suspension, paint it yellow, and Still have money to spare. So no, it doesn't add up to me.

What also doesn't add up is how a 5-second 0-60/13.5-ish 1/4 mile could ever be called slow or sluggish. Sure, there are faster, better cars. They're also 2-3x the price, which your target of under 65k could have easily bought.

Also FWD isn't inherently bad, if you don't care about weight distribution, wheel hop, understeer, and so on. FWD works great in 90% of driving situations.

I guess what I don't understand is, if you can afford 7 turbo cars that all make the Z feel like bus, and you have 65k to spare, why does this thread even exist? Shouldn't you just be asking where the closest shop is that you can give your money to? By all means please do! We need as much aftermarket activity as possible! At some point these turbo kits need to become affordable for people like me!

David, so why spend 20k on a rwd car when u can get an awd car? I have an audi tt 2010 and its awd. Why dump money into an awd? Im not bashing the 370z at all i love it but it is lacking power period. And yes i hope the kits go lower. Im assuming ud need to upgrade clutch, injectors, fuel pump, tuning, rods, and pistons as well as the turbo kit. Im really excited about this car as i see alot of potential. And the 7 cars arent all turbo, i have a 5cyl rabbit, and a 4x4 lifted frontier. The rest are my work truck is a 7.3 powerstroke diesel. Does anyone here make a good kit for under 10k? Even a single turbo setup

Congrats to you in paying off your cars even though it may not always be the best move. Here's why, money has been really cheap to borrow for the last 10 years or so.

Example car loans can be gotten for 1.49% new and used cars at 1.99% on the internet. Conservative investments have yields of 4% with much higher returns if you have some money invested in the stock market. So let's say we're moderate investors and put 50% in bonds with the other 50% in stocks. We average an annual moderate return of 6%.

In very simplistic math, $10,000 at 1.99% equals to $199 interest paid. $10,000 at 6% earned is $600. A difference of $401 profit for the year without lifting a finger. Multiply this times 7 (amount of cars you own) and this can add up pretty quickly. I don't know about you, but I like making money without lifting a finger

I have my own business which makes money 24hrs. Im out of town and its making more money. Most of my money is re invested into the business. Im also 27 years old. I hate owing and paying interest which is why i pay them off. I own my own home as well, well owe it since i just got it a year ago. So no i dont do stocks as for me the payoff is too small for me when i can invest in my business. With 10k i can net an easy 1k a month instead of $600 a year. I also buy and resell many things like atvs.

With 10k you can net an easy 1k return a month, which equates to better than a 120% annual return on your investment. So why not make a car loan for 1.99% and earn over 120% on the money you didn't use to pay off the car with? You just reinforced my earlier point by well more than 100%
