350z or supra?! Please help (both clean title b.t.w.)
So I was planning on selling my 2006 350z enthusiast with only 28.5k miles. Apart from the nismo exhaust the car is completely stock. So I found this guy sellin his 1994 Supra with a single turbo all modded up
Here's a list of what he has (including prices I guess):
NEW MOTOR WITH 200 MILES 4000.00 PLUS 1500 INSTALLED
POLISHED GREDDY T78 TURBO KIT PRICE 4700.00
GREDDY TURBO TIMER 99.00
GREDDY 3INCH DOWN PIPE 120.00
POLISH GREDDY INTERCOOLER PIPES 120.00
GREDDY FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER 1100.00
POLISHED HKS SSQ BLOWOFF VALVE 279.00
POLISHED GREDDY STYLE INTAKE 800.00
80MIL THROTTLE BODY 190.00
ANODIZED OIL CATCH CAN 60.00
POLISHED VALVE COVERS 200.00
NEW FULL 3INCH EXHUAST W MEGAN MUFFLER(GREDDY WAS REMOVED BECAUSE OF LOUDNESS) 600.00
CUSTOM 1 PIECE DRIVESHAFT RATED(1100 HORSEPOWER) 790.00
EIBACH SPRINGS 650.00
AEM EMS (FULL STANDALONE ECU) 1780.00
AEM BOOST CONTROLLER 200.00
AEM WIDEBAND CONTROLLER 200.00
BOMZ RECLINE BUCKET RACE SEATS 200.00
CWEST KIT 600.00 NOT PAINTED
19INCH WHEELS 500.00
8K HID LIGHTS 60.00
REDTOP OPTIMA BATTERY 100.00
1 DUMP PIPE 80.00
44MIL PROGATE WASTEGATE 475.00
VIPER ALARM SYSTEM 1000.00
ALPINE DECK,KICKER SUB AND AMP 500.00
CM 4PUCK STAGE 3 CLUTCH RATED 600 WHEEL HORSEPOWER
THE CAR NEEDS NEW CARPET AND TO MAKE IT PERFECT NEW PAINT JOB THIS CAR HAS NO LEAKS NO MOTOR OR TRANS ISSUES
So after talking to the guy he said he would sell the car with everything for $25k or he would sell it for $17k but would take off all the mods and replace the engine with the stock twin turbo engine with 115k miles
So to the people who have modified their 350z's and hopefully driven a modded supra, which do you think is better?
My stock 06 Enthusiast w/ 28.5k miles and nismo exhaust or the modded single turbo 1994 Supra mk4 for $25k (or $17k with stock TT)??
If you guys could give me reasons why you choose one over the other id really appreciate it (but please don't say things like because the Z is a chick magnet or because the supra looks better)
Thanks for all your guys' help!

step one- reach into pocket and take out a quarter (or any other coin)
step two- flip into air and call heads or tails
step three- repeat step two until you reach the conclusion you want.

I had a 95 Supra TT converted to a single with a T-78. My boosted Z has almost $20k in it so they are both money pits if you want them to be. If the Supra has all the supporting mods (forged internals, fuel system , etc.) you can make huge power with that turbo. At the same time you can make big power with the VQ if that is what your goal is.
Just depends on how much you want to spend. I love both cars so either way you are good in my book.

Well the main reasons I would want to sell the Z is because around where I live I see at least 3 - 6 350z's daily and maybe 2 - 3 370z's so I would want something that isn't seen much and also because I want a 4 seater sports car. I'm over the 2 seats. I mean ive seen people convert their Z's into a 4 seater but it didn't look so nice and the back looks extremely cramped

The Supra is my favorite car, hands down. If I could have, I would have bought one instead of the Z I just bought. However, everyone here has made an excellent point- it's an 18 year old modded car and you aren't sure of the history of it. The only Supra you should sell your Z for is for a bone stock Supra so you know it hasn't been horribly abused.

Ok well I guess I'll stick with the Z cuz in all honesty I wouldn't know how to fix the supra if it were to breakdown. But can anyone give me advice on some basic mods that would make the Z better? Like maybe some eibach springs or nismo headers, etc? Thank you guys for helping
