Default Just bought an 06 and struggling deciding what to do first

New to the site and just picked up an 06 Z 2 weeks ago. Looking for any input as to recommendations for mods. Previous background came from toyota pickups so in for a bit of a change. LOVE my Z though any input would be great.

pick up an 07 and you'll be much happier.. i wish i had an 07.. ****ing things a beast.. even with 4k of mods into an 03-06 the 07 will still beat it XD



but if you're keeping your 06... exhaust/testpipes/intake.. you'll love the sound and the new found powAAAHHH!

thanks any suggestions on specific brands I don't have to worry about getting it smogged currently, but washington and oregon just adopted california's standards for emissions.

welcome to the forum

What does it matter if the 07 is faster it's not like it's that noticible and it's not like we're doing any competitive racing.

get rid of those orange reflectors on the front. Then drop in a JWT pop charger... that's a good start.

Breathing and exhaust mods usually first. Then springs and sways and you should have a really fun to drive car. I know I do, .
