Well, once had a nice stock car but I just had to add an Edelbrock high rise manifold, Crane cam, Holly 850 four barrell, solid lifters, traction bars, 4:55 rear end, Keystone Mags, Hurst shifter, 8 track with reverb, etc. The car was a rocket.

Sold it after a couple years to go to college for $1000.

I've wished countless times I had that car back. IN STOCK CONDITION!!!!

What was it you say?


'67 Mustang...289 four barrell, 4 speed. Now worth big bucks IF FOUND STOCK!!

So I'm not ****ing with my Z. If I want PURE power and a different feel I'll go drive my buddies Viper!

 

I estimate that 90 percent of 350Zs on the road are stock.

 

I love how people are saying they kept it stock but all they added was steel brake lines, K@N drop-in, etc. Guess what, thats not stock!

 

Ditto.

My Z is still bone stock after 4 years and 16,800 miles. I plan to keep it that way.

It’s always been in a climate controlled dark garage, never been in snow, and rarely has it been rained on. During the winter months I usually only drive it about once or twice a month, in sunny weather.
Believe it or not it still has a little ‘new car’ smell.

I plan on keeping this Z for another 20 years, at least.

Twenty years from now, when all you guys with mods have long since sold your Zs and are looking back fondly on the days when you owned a 350Z look me up. I’ll have a mint, low-mileage, non-restored, bone-stock, first year 350Z for sale. And I will sell it to you. But bring extra cash because I won’t be selling it cheap.

BTW: try finding a mint, low-mileage, bone-stock, non-restored, 1970 240Z for sale. You’ll see what I’m talking about.

 

<<<<<<<<<Still Stock

 

60 Miles still Stock

 

2007 5100miles, STOCK and staying that way. But I am 32 years old and not into the kiddie toy mods. Sorry. All your intakes, plenum spacers, pop charges ect... are for a younger group. Not guys that are married w/kids in there 30s. Just my .02

Its funny when I see someone on here saying how they just added an intake, pop charger and what not... I ask why? more speed ? More HP ? for what ? So you can go 0-60 in 5.0 sec instead of 5.1 LMAO. So you can brag to others that your car is now 350 HP instead of 306? Most people could care less, and the ones who do care are probably just as insecure. LMAO no offense to the guys that actually mod there care to track it. Thats a different story.

 

2003 touring 3,800 miles stock.

But I must say I do have plans for 06-07 wheels and taillights.....risk taker, I know. HA

 

Mines still stock but im just saving money to do everything at once /shrug

16k and 4 years old,

I see where you are coming from but keeping my car nice for the next owner seems like a waste of time and I would rather my memories be of me driving my car the way I like it. I only plan on living once and I have no idea when that end will come, I dont want any regrets.

Once I get my Z its going to be stock for a while.. basically its a $$ issue though.. do rims make your car not stock.. they're only shoes.

 

And what do these items really add?

A K&N Drop-in is comparable to changing to a different oil filter. SS brake lines are a bit of a step, but a small one at that.

Your analogy is akin to saying that one's Z isn't stock after switching to synthetic oil!

 

I'm stock with a paper filter. I'm about to have 10k to drop on it. Know what I'm going to do with that 10k? Drop it on the principal. How about that for a mod?

 

Mine technically isn't anymore. It's got new Michelin rubber, already. I just bought a set of Dunlop M3s. I'm getting a Motordyne Spacer next month. Getting clear-bra done.

Probably won't touch anything else on the car.

 

I have a different kind of 'Z' but I have purposely left my untouched to prove something. Will be modding the **** out of it once the quest has been completed.

 

Stock here - don't have the money to mod. payments alone hurt enuff! Let alone repairs that *** up the car due to the mods.

 

Stock except for Hawk brake pads (I needed new pads, so am I still stock?) and a pop charger (I consider this still stock as well, it's just an air filter). Oh, and to mcurry 5... the pop charger wasn't to gain that impressive 6 hp they claim, it is for the sound. She sounds great when I open her up.

 

I PLAN to only keep the exterior body stock.. my last car was stolen and probably because it was true jdm an attracted a lot of attention.. so outside stock an the suspension and engine =) imma go all out. Not exactly a sleeper but in a way.. ( dont know who im kiddin im sure i will slap some Volks or HRE's on it after break in.. i just bought it.)

 

Stock!

 

Yes
