1. 1980 GM Cutlass Supreme - (bought off my old man for $1, then repaired it, then sold it) - age 16
2. 1995 240sx (still own) - age 18
3. 2004 G35 6MT - (still own) age 21
4. 1993 240sx (new project car) - age 22
I bought all my cars with my own money. No help from my parents whatsoever. Parents taught me that if there's anything that I want, I've got to work for it. . .and work for it i did. . .
. . .also this way of raising me brought me to appreciate the things i own and take good care of them. . .

You know what I get when I get a "A" in school now? My company refunds my tuition... Seriously, no one give a *** about your high school gpa.
Jealous? Of what? You have accomplished nothing and have nothing to show.
PS. I know a great airport you should take the Z for a run at.

Indeed there are stupid teenagers, but are there not stupid adults?
I'm not here to write an A+ essay, I'm done with English and writing classes. I'm not jealous. I think the kids and their parents are pretty dumb, and it's entertaining to joke on them as they usually get all butt hurt and whine about it. Sure there are stupid adults, just check out Fowlman and 1337, but you kids today truly take the cake when it comes to the sheer amount of stupid people. Congrats!

Well, I am glad that you feel that way. But I take better care of my Z than any body else I know that has one (and I know a lot of Z owners).

kirradude1025 That is hp to the crank...not wheels. 287 + 11 (intake) + 4 (radiator shroud) + 5 (performance grounding) + and racing fluids...
thats too funny, you think you actually got 20 HP with those mods? theres no d*mn way you got 11 HP with an intake, manufacturers always claim large amounts of HP but you only really get 1 or 2. Do you have a dyno slip to prove that claim? and performance grounding doesn't give you HP, and I hardly doubt the shroud gave you any either.

I was hoping you'd reply with something like this. Thank you.

grounding = zero horsepower
racing fluids = frees up horsepower (what fluids??? oil???)
radiator shroud? what is this? i bet zero horsepower.
