If you can get all season tires (16s or 17s)and lift it 1 inch it would work on smooth dirt roads and still have most of its on road personality without being too crazy. If you want more than that just get a Subaru, My wife is on her 2nd and its pretty cool. I dont think youre stupid, its your car. Have fun with it. Good luck.

You could buy an AWD beater for less than it would cost to ruin...er, mod your Z.

I would like to mod my Z so that it can fly.

How much would it cost and where can I get the parts to add a propeller, either to the front or back and a retractable wing?

I still will need to use it a daily driver so that must be taken into consideration.

Also, I saw a James Bond movie once where his car went underwater, like a submarine.

As long as I'm spending a few hundred dollars on parts to make it fly, wouldn't it be a good idea to spend a few hundred more so it can drive underwater?

Also, I might want to go to Hawaii some time. If I do, I would like to be able to drive into a volcano so I can see it up close.

Couldn't be more than a couple hundred more for that, eh.

Please provide me with a list of parts and shop that can install them.

I'll certainly provide pics once we're zipping around at airplane level.

I can not help unless you are more specific. How hot does a volcano get?

Acording to OP I know all of you will love these lyrics
Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on - call my name
Will you all my name?

I say :
La la la...

Back to the OP, I would deff check them out ^^^^. You will find more info with that group of Z owners that you could dream of. They will have all your suspension knowledge and needs guaranteed.

I have driven my -Z- up and down some dirt "hunting" access roads. The cars low ground clearance IMO is just too much of a problem to overcome. These roads will undoubtably have ruts.....and you risk being immediately stuck if you get caught in one.

OP - It sounds like the -Z- is your only vehicle. My advice is to purchase another vehicle, with the features and capabilities you are missing.

Personally I would not own the -Z- or any other sports car without having another vehicle or "daily driver". It allows you to keep the -Z- in good or excellent condition . . . which you can appreciate and be proud of when you drive it.
