Did you buy your Z to make it faster, only for show, or to keep it stock?
So are you going for show, go, or stock?
I'm still undecided whether I want to spend all my money making it fast or to spend all my money on some nice 19 inch rims, a nice body kit and some suspension work.

It's a Roadster so I don't intend to take it to the track but once the warranty is up I'll probably put a turbo or supercharger on it, depending of course on the financial situation.
I bought it to drive it. I figured I would decide on mods over time and on a case by case basis. Mostly it is my daily driver, but more power never hurts even on a daily driver.
Originally I had no mods planned, but I was open to the idea.
Now, at 1700 miles I have a Borla exhaust. I just sort of happened. I wanted a meaner sound and a little more juice.
I have also ordered some 18 inch rims.
Now that I have seen the bolt on superchargers in action I may get one when the warranty is up. But I may not. Who knows.
The only plans I have for sure are to keep it clean, drive it and enjoy it, and keep it a long time. I get attached to my cars once I get them setup the way I like em.

I plan to keep it stock except maybe a supercharger if it doesn't alter stock appearance. Being 51 I've lost my desire for wings, wheels, and such but must confess at one time I had the only '61
Corvair with a racing steering wheel.

well i definatly didnt buy it to go faster (or otherwise i would of bought a manual)...
I mainly want to keep it stock besides a few things.
Like the stereo. I change it all out (Besides the HU).
I will eventually do some external appearance mods (probably NISMO body kit W/O spoiler)
Maybe few internal appearance things here and there but besides that. STOCK.

For the next three years I am keeping it pretty much stock. I'm going to mod the suspension. Coilovers and swaybars. Maybe a camber kit and that's it. I'll also get a CAI for the hell of it since it's only a few hundred. Other than that I am going to mod the hell out of the stereo, add my own touch screen, and PC.
Once warranyt is up, I may go ahead and get a supercharger, headers, exhaust with high flow cats. I just hope in three years I have a much better paying job than I do now. Well, considering what I make now that shouldn't be hard.
It also depends if I get married during that time as well.

I'm leaving mine stock. I bought it knowing what it is capable of and what it isn't capable of. If I wanted a turbo I would of bought a turbo powered car. The Z is a nice, fun and high revving NA. Don't expect much more
Turbo down the road? no. If i'm going to go with FI on a car, it is going to be worth my while (read: huge hp numbers). Besides aluminum blocks running 10.3 compr don't like big boost numbers
I bought mine thinking I'd make it fast. Right now, it's all for show though.
So since I'm almost done with all the aesthetics, everything else will be performance or audio/entertainment. I've always had a need for speed.
Besides, nothing stock satisfies me. Even a 360 Modena had me thinking "Man, this thing needs a better sound system."

i bought it to enjoy the power of the car along with the option of dropping the top.
i dont think i will put too much into making it faster because there really is no where to go fast except for road courses or the drag strip, both of which i dont intend to do. it has enough power as it is. if anything, i would add a nismo exhaust. probably not even that though. i am doing visual mods right now. slowly as my funds and wife allow.

I read the my350.com posts thus i knew before I purchsed it I would buy a new stereo. In additon, i knew I wanted wheels, tires, and much more hp. I intentionally put aside over $10,000 for these items. I still have 10K alotted for my engine upgrades. I am just waiting for the right kit to come out with reliable hp and be carb legal. I will do everything to the engine at once be it SC, exhaust, cams etc so it will turn into a beast overnite.

I haven't bought a 350 yet.. I'm waiting till Spring.
Anyways, when I do get my 350 I will go for looks first. This might be the order in which I will upgrade the parts on the car:
1. Rims
2. Suspension
3. Stereo system
4. Exhaust system
If I do decide to go for performance in the future, then I'm definitely going to go forced induction
But I really don't think I'll be able to afford it, that's why I'm going strictly for looks.
