You should want the best for yourself, yes, but AFTER what makes you happy.
You want 20's with a big āss lip that's chrome, do it, while 18" TE37's with PSS will weigh less and your car will be "n" seconds or "n" percent faster is good and dandy, but if you don't like TE37's, then who cares? Someone will always be faster and happier than you with THEIR set-up, Taylor make your car to what you enjoy while you have it.


And going back to your other threads and thoughts on making the car faster, if you have the money, and you want it faster for YOURSELF, just buy the headers, don't wait on other dynos, just do it, it will be better than stock. And at the same time, know that the 4.08 gears on the auto negates, or is worth a LOT more in the way of acceleration than many of the mods you CAN do. I bet 50lbs of unsprung weight is about the same as the jump in gear ratio.

But yeah, unsprung weight is the final frontier.


And brother, I kind of fear that you'll forever fall into the trap of wanting faster, and at the end of the day, the 370Z is NOT the fastest car you can buy, not even for the money. I don't think it's worth the effort to keep trying to make it better with no end or not being happy with it.





Sorry for the long post, maybe I'm retarded and sorry if I'm being redundant.
