100% Stock FTW?

But as far as that Serious mods post, i can tell you this the STI has crappy handling compared to the Z. The EVO, and S2K are in the same league with very slight differences. But the Z for stock can out handle with the best of them.
Most may agree though that the EVO destroys them all as far as handling, i can vouch for that. Hence why i love to drive it when im not driving the Z!

) but it might have to do with something with the Evo being an extension of a compact shitbox vs. the Z being in a league of its own. I could probably try to explain but i'll spare you the "wall of text".

This is exactly how we chase people away from the boards.

I stopped posting on this thread because it became argumentative and pointless...and I thought Dave the Mod killed this incendiary thread.
Now I'm back cause you wanna be a side-busting idiot.

My car isn't paid off... neither are my student loans... and I don't own a house or live with my parents... aka my money goes towards my living expenses. No, I am not going to put everything on a credit card and get more in debt. I know that if the time comes and I need to, selling a stock car is one hundred times easier than selling modded. And my warranty stays in tact. And I can't have a boy-racer look when pulling up to work each day...
Upgrading the sound system is fine, along w/ tasteful rims (Nismo), but anything else, in my opinion, is excessive. If I want a faster car, I will buy one. Stock Z is great the way it is.

"www.mystock350z.com"
There would only be two sub-forums:
"Off topic" and "Repair & Maintenance"
hah j/k

2005 Enthusiast 6 Spd, bone stock with 26k, I bought it new and I just bought my first set of tires for it. Michelin Pilot Sport A/S. I paid it off last month and I'm keeping it till the wheels fall off. I love this car just the way it is.
2006 Touring 6spd Roadster. Got it in June of 06. It stayed stock until Sep 07 when I put on a nismo exhaust and a popcharger at about 9k. Now at 13k June 08 I just got nismo headers. I have 5 vehicles: 2 cars, a truck, a bike, and a jetski and they all have exhausts. For me, driving, riding or whatever, is nothing without the sound that goes with it. If I had a Honda Fit, It would probably have an intake and exhaust too, as ridiculous as that may sound. Not an obnoxious exhaust, but a proper sounding exhaust. I absolutely adore the exhaust note on this car even in its stock form. It's just too quiet for me. Believe me, I have nothing against modding or anything like that I just don't have the disposable income i used to. This car's job is to get me there and be fun to drive and it does those, and that's why I bought it in the first place.
