Do everything at once...But don't worry about the stereo no more than 1500 there, if you just have to have it. 2000 on suspension *tein with edfc*, 3000 on nice set wheels and tires. Greddy twin turbo with all support mods installed by a pro, Sharif, or pm me for someone else.

That is 15k on the dot. 400 whp that looks, sounds, and goes like crazy!!!

Spend your money however you want then..

You create a thread like this for suggestions and one someone throws out a good one you get offended..

Did you just start this thread to brag about how much money you have?

I have had cars on SS, SCC (Super Street, Sport Compact Car) and the money I have basically spent is not worth it. What I know now, that I wish I know then was to invest the 15K or 30K and take the interest I earned on that and spent that. A car is not anything, its a social status. Not trying to get into a debate about this but if you held out this long wait another yr and spend the interst. God forbid something happenes to you with a family they will need that money, or if you loose a job. If you owe any money pay that off.

ST would be the best.

Dump 5-6k into sound system, then the 9-10k left into a nice solid ST kit with a firm engine/supporting mods configuration.

IMO, if you go TT you'll need more..atleast if you want to do it right(built engine,etc.).

Investment is probably the most intelligent choice, but if you don't live life now, when will you?

Dude, its your money, do what ya want. It you want a pimpn sound system, do it. Most of the people here are die hard performance enthusiasts so don't see the reasoning behind making your car heavier thus slower. I appreciate their stance, theyre the "purists." I on the other hand, am a cruiser similar to you. Lower it, get some nice rims, and a killer system and you'll be fine. The Z is plenty fast for my liking already. I know im not ever goin to take a Z06 no matter how much I spend and likewise, I don't see any civic blowin' my doors off anytime soon (save heavily modified ones).

Just don't "rice out" out the ride!

Give your money to me. Then i can invest it and in about five years you can buy yourself a ferrari.

Seriously put some rims and tint the windows, suspension is great on the z aleady. unless your racing this car its pointless.

Why not just put the $$ on a GTR...??

Research research research to know exactly how to get what you want from the car and then just follow what makes YOU happy and not others. Nuff said

Please dont spend 5-6K on a sound system. Thats a giant waste of money. If you spend 10K on the turbo the extra 5K could be spent on a build and more boost.

And +1 of davidv's comment. How did everything turn out?
