Legal racing is all good my friend. I'm mainly speaking of those idiots on the street that are street racing. I'm all for automobile racing, of all sorts, from Nascar/Formula 1 to drag/GT racing at the track. I couldn't be more of a car guy, I just believe that it should be done legally in their respective areas.

Yes replacing the rotors are $40K.

The entire PCCB setup is only $20K. Porsche just say its normal for parts to be twice as dear. Give me a break.

The Z mods are CHEAP. Very CHEAP.

Haha, looks like the trend here is that the more you go up in car price, the more you have to spend to get a little more juice. Probably because the more you spend, the better the car is to begin with, i.e. the 350z. If you have a Civic, you get more bang for your buck because it only has, what, 130 hp?

I think $10k in a Z can get you a ton of power, if you do your homework and don't waste too much money on bling. That doesn't sound too much, considering I've spent like $4k on mostly bling with some suspension/brake stuff but zero hp mods I might add.

If you got some nice track wheels to go with that $10k, you're looking at maybe $12k with wheels/tires. Not too bad definitely, to own a complete beast of a car.

looking back.. the extent I went through with mods was ridiculous.
I've waited 6 months for my front bumper and was $900. Rear cost me $1200.
when I get a new car in 2 years, I'm definitely going the cheap route.. some replicas ain't bad. Maybe go more 2nd hand on performance mods.
