Default What Would YOU Do With $600?

I currently have a stock 2008 350Z, I am looking to do something to it but only have $600 to spare at this time. I can either buy something now or save for something later. Let me know what YOU would do to a stock 350z.

Thanks
-Ryan

Well you could do dual intakes, and maybe a shiftknob.

Or just an exhaust in the marketplace or the turboxs exhaust for 499 shipped.

Lower it with coilovers. You can find used coilovers in decent condition for around that price.

Im keeping mine stock(other than the pop charger). When I was shopping for my Z, I wanted one that was untouched, and someday when I sell it, Im sure Ill find someone who will pay more for one in excellent condition in stock form.

hate to sound cliche but.. buy a helmet and and get out to a track day. learn the capabilities of your car and tune it accordingly.

only exception to the rule, if you have a base model get an LSD!!

I'd save up for something like a front bumper, suspension, exhaust or wheels.

If you want performance now, you could get HFCs, a LTW flywheel or maybe just enough for a 3.9 or 4.10 gears.

so true, my 03 z is stock, except for direct replacement front slotted rotors and K&N air filter, and I drive it to its limit and it still outperforms many "modified" cars at auto x events. I just had an event today and im finally deciding on aftermarket coil overs and wheels, maybe even a brake kit, and thats because i was having trouble with excesive body roll i hadnt experienced due to other course layouts. Its more rewarding to out perform your car than your car outperform you. Good luck with your decision.
