adn you just stated your .02c which i respect... he is asking general opinion so all comments welcome... dont expect everyone to have ur taste and i dont expect everyone to have my taste.
.And if i name you ppl who have done single/ twin turbo's to their Z's already for under 6k you wouldnt know them prolly, and the fact that i know guys who did proves that is possible, and not clip ons lol... if you cant power your car 400whp + for 6grand you doing somthing wrong .....

Dude guys, I made 600whp in my S13 on stock motor and turbo... Just lotsa tuuuuuuning and special CA 91 octane!
NO.
400whp is not easy or cheap. If you think you can do it in a Z for 5-6k, you're retarded.
OP: **** is whack, you can definitely do better for that price.

I was saying they aren't stock, they are brembo. The "stock" rims you are talking about are Rays, which are great rims in quality.
As for your 400whp....tell me how for 6k. What kit and what tune for under 6k. You may be able to do it...but do it right? Reliable? I am curious seriously.
EDIT: Greddy Twin Turbo with intercooler =$8,500, HKS without intercooler =$5,225, Vortech SC $5,700. These are without an ES and not sure of the WHP numbers. So, really curious how 400 WHP is easy to get to under 6k

I think that it is way too much money for that car! I just bought an 06 with 11000 miles with over $38k invested into the car for $14750... I shoulda paid closer to $20k for it but I wouldnt pay much more than $20k for it...
I know alot of you guys will talk **** but mine uses a Stillen supercharger...

Too much $$$ for it. For that price, you can pick up an untouched HR model, and know that it will work. Also, like everyone else said, $26K worth of anything is not displayed in the pictures of that ad. My suggestion: Drive a stock one, listen to it idle and rev, then drive this one and listen. You will know so much more when you have a baseline.

op I am in San Antonio, where is this car located?
Like many have said on here, there are to many risks you would be taking buying a used FI vehicle. You dont know what condition the supercharger is in or who installed it. The stealership is going to tell you anything in there power to try and convince you to buy this car. " It has 500 hp, $30,000 put into the vehicle, most of it is just bs. You can find many used z for way below what they are asking and build the car up yourself. I think it always feels good when you can say you did something to your car, rather than saying I bought it like that.

I just picked up a 08 base for 22k new!! If you really want a fI car, do it right and build it to be reliable. You have no idea what this car has been through or any problems that may have already uccured. Even pick up a 07 hr with low miles and save a little more. No way there is 26k in mods on that car. Be patient and you will be able to find what you're looking for!!
