Default How much have you spent on your Z?

Total cost including the car, mods, labor, not including tax.


I'm at $61,200......and that's WITHOUT an FI system (!)

To damn much. I haven't added it up cause I don't want to know what I could have purchased if I used the total amount to buy something else, car or otherwise. Don't get me wrong I love the car and what I have done to it.

If he has a loaded roadster and got ripped when he bought it, he prob is pretty close. I know the cheapest roadsters go for like 34 new. I imagine a decked out one could reach over 40k. You on the other hand have a coupe enthusiast, practically the cheapest of the bunch.

$680. However, I do plan on spending about 3K more for

Lightweight wheels
Wider tires
Hotchis Sways
Koni Sports

That will be it for me. I have other projects to fund.
