How do people afford...

TT is fine if you have $$,$$$ set aside to fix it should it blow. If it does and you have no rainy day fund, well now youre f'd with no car, and a loan for mods on top of your car loan and a pressing need for probably at least $5K worth of repairs. I cant wait to go to Iraq so I can pay this thing off in full. Debt is evil.

say... say the car you bought out the door was 35k and you're figuring on spending another 25k.. thats 60k..

at the end, you have a modded car that is worth less than what it would be worth un-modified..

i would sell that car, go out and buy a lightly used corvette z06 (easy to find these days) or porsche of some flavor...

or i would be something like a 3 or 4 year old WRX/STI or EVO as a second car and mod that instead..

what with the oil over-heating issues, i would be very wary or slapping on a twin turbo kit before its been done extensively and the bugs worked out..

what would be cool (but wont happen) is for nissan to come out with a z in vette price range territory with twin turbos, like they used to on the 300zx...

They already have that. It's called GT-R
