Turbo Z owners: what is your income?

babbagandu · 01-30-2012, 11:44 PM

I am curious about how much disposable income turbo or supercharged Z owners have.

I hope people aren't hesitant to post this since it's only an Internet forum... I will start just to be fair..

I am fresh out of college making a bit over 50k and I definitely CANNOT afford FI right now... Maybe one day.

Seriously it is...

Over 9000 and that's not nearly enough for turbo

Too many ballets on this site to give you a straight answer! 50k a year is better than most! Some charge a whole build on credit! I don't advise you do that! What type of power are you trying to make? Why do you feel a certain salary allows you to go FI? If you earn 50k and take home damn near all of it you too can go FI...if not a smal personal loan can get you FI as well! I don't avise that either unless your above water on the car!

Other than that, just enjoy your car!

I'm not one for posting my income here. But with wise decision making and saving. I will have a turbo in due time, 2 years or less.

My digital pianos cost more than your turbo kits.

I don't dispose of any of my income, I use all of it so. $0 here.

Pile into that 401k and IRA man. Start early, retire rich.

This.

All my disposable income goes to pension/IRA/401k. Anything left over will go to the car. I have it lucky though since I was able to pay off the Z in 11 months and currently debt free again.

edub370 · 01-31-2012, 08:57 AM

agreed. i am fresh outta college too. make less than that, but about 10% of my income goes to 401k and stocks from my company. sucks not have money to play race cars all the time, but i think i will thank myself when i retire and go buy a house on the beach somewhere

This should be interesting

DIGItonium · 01-31-2012, 10:02 AM

I'm not wealthy either, but I started saving money after getting a job out of college. As foolish as it sounds, I shuffled some savings to build up the Z (see sig). The goal is to get it out of the way quickly so I can start building the house (currently being built). After getting the house, I don't plan on doing much to this car other than kicking up the boost and pray the engine doesn't pop down the road.

I'm pretty much done with the most expensive aspects of this hobby and hope to enjoy it for years to come. The next car will be a cheap daily driver and grocery getter. If I ever parted ways with the Z and wanted to get another sports car it would be something force fed from the factory like the GT-R, but I still prefer a force fed manual.

It is a bit of a silly question.
