Default Does anybody not mod their Z?

I always hear about people on here that mod their Z. I'd like to but in a way it's like if it's faster it will be much easier to get a ticket and also it's quite a bit more expensive. So I have an 04 enthusiast and haven't done any mods. Do you think it's a waste to have a Z and not mod it?

People who mod 350z's tend to take it out to the track, where not like RSX owners; although they are faster.

you can get tickets with a stock Z, or you can drive safely with a heavily modded Z.

all dependent on your right foot.

what is with people on here saying rsx's are faster than Z's c'mon man, you people must just not know how to drive.

The best part of owning a Z is modding it, max out your credit card and buy every part on the market for it

Plenty of people don't mod their Z's. Most of us mod it to a certain extent on this forum, but keep in mind we make up a very small percentage of Z owners.

The only mod that I've done is the shorty antenna. It's a lease, and I'm still trying to decide whether I'm going to buy it out at the end or not, or move on to something else. I kinda of want an Exige S, but they're so spartan...

I don't know. I'm not sure.

I only got Nismo exhaust and a shorty antenna. Seriously, the car is fast enough stock.

I'd rather not mod cars anymore, sure it's fun but just not enough value. I'd rather just save the money and trade up for an already-fast car, like a Z06

Stock is great, but mine is probably going to stay very mild. Unless i decide to move up to BSP.
