I guess that's a good price. Honestly, I do not think too much about the dollars. As I got older (and older) I have adopted the attitude that compels me to buy the best you can get. When I think Eibach, I think big, fat muscle cars for some reason.

I hear ya. I’ve grown up on quality not quantity. So I'm not new to the best that I can get. I understand where you are coming from . The Z deserves it. I feel the same way about K&N intakes.

What's wrong with K&N intakes? Decent claimed horsepower gain. No having to remove bumper for install or filter cleaning.

Nothing is wrong with them. I think big, fat muscle cars for some reason when I hear K&N intakes. Removing the bumper is not as hard has people make it out to be.

So then why are you not driving a GTR?

Because the GTR is an automatic, does too much of the driving for you and has a back seat (usually).

You know you can turn off the driver assists like you can with VDC in ours. S-mode probably doesn't happen when you're driving the Z either.
Yeah, the 2015 Nismo GTR would be absolutely no fun to drive around a race track...
Admit it, you're just scared of all that awesome beastly power.

I am not a fan of $7,500.00 brake jobs every 12,000 miles.
