Is your Z stock with power or upgraded?

Don't get that JWT pop charger. If you do then the next thing you know you'll be buying rims and exhaust. Thats how I got bit!

spent my entire youth modding Hondas. Expensive turbo set ups and countless drag races.... its expensive and addictive. I'm 31 now and have other priorities so my stock 06' Z is plenty. In fact I'm happy I have it at all! I was pressured to get a 4 door!

cat-back Exhaust, Y-pipe and headers. Thats about it.

PopCharger soon to come unless I keep reading about these Zs dying.

I had my windows open and could hear whatever he'd done to the engine and exhaust and even though we had the same car I almost felt ashamed in my regular stock model...

if you aren't really involved in your local Z community you probably wouldn't care much about modding your Z. but if you do roll with the community you will most likely not remain stock for long. after a while of beeing around modded Z's its almost impossible to not start modding. when i first started hanging with the community out here in Feb/March all i had was a injen cai and plenum spacer. now look at my signature. all this between Feb/March and now. LOL... my Z is in the shop as i write this getting mods installed.

everytime I meet a Z owner they start talking about planned upgrades and how they are all going turbo. I used to tell them the car was fast enough for me and I was going to keep it stock but then they would get this disappointed look on their face. I doubt if any of the people I met ever went FI, I think its just fun to dream a little on how you would mod the car if money/reliabity weren't a thing.
