The only shops/vendors that are making big power and abusing their cars are Sound Performance and Injected Performance/Dynosty.

I would trust them with my car

The theme I get out of this thread is if you are not happy with the performance of a stock Z, chances are it is cheaper to get a higher performance car then mod your Z.

1. I regret buying an Automatic (had motorcyles, then found the luxury of a Acura TSX, became lazy and bought an 5AT)

2. I half-heartedly regret buying the Magnetic Black. (all my previous vehicles were black 93' Honda Accord, 00' Ford Ranger, 04 Acura TSX) Would've been cool to buy the 07 + Grey or White.

3. I regret regretting

Oh well, live with your decision and just go with it.

This is a very useful thread.

Bump.

i'm surprised so many people regret getting a short shifter because it's "harder" and more "annoying" to shift? I don't find that to be the case at all...i enjoy the feel of the short shifter much more then the stock....but ironically i kind of regret getting a short shifter...because the rattling is really bad

I would not be one of the people to complain about a short shifter. My TWM shifter is super tight, does not rattle at all, and coupled with a Forged Performance SS **** is simply perfect.
