80% chance my car is totaled =\
If you don't mind me asking what other car do you drive if you are not driving your Z? I have been looking to pick up another vehicle but am having tough time deciding. Thinking truck, Subaru outback, Subaru 2.5 rs with engine swap, jeep wrangler, etc. I want something that I can take offroad and is good in wet weather.
Though If I was looking to by me another ride I would probably try and find me a 98-00 Frontier. I had an Ext cab V6 4x4 and loved that thing or might would look for a Xterra but my mom & sister both have Xterras so I would probably stick with the truck.

Zmandriving: I also have 1985 Nissan 720 AWD, 08 Nissan rouge and of course my company working truck. by they way I have also been doing some research on a swap for the 720 maybe it's going to have an sr20 sometime next year.

With a "relatively" inexpensive turbo upgrade:

Here's the build thread for this dyno chart.

Sorry to hear about your car.
Out of the 3 cars you listed as replacement, the 335i is going to be your best for power potential on stock engine. My friend just bought a 335is, $700 later with a downpipe and tune, he should be in the 400whp area on pump gas. Having said that, the car is fast but it is BORING. BMW has the quality, ride comfort, noise dampening and speed but I would not recommend it if you want a sports car. The way I see that car is that is it is a luxury car that goes fast. Period.

In the meantime I would simply test drive different cars. See how you like the g37 and some other competitors.

yeap. what price do you guys think is reasonable to buy the car back with a salvage title? (4-3k)
dont even waste the money buying it back. you'll spend more than that trying to get it running and then never be able to sell because you can get low mileage non-salvage Z's for 6-7000$

yeah I get you.. but I mean the I durance is not even giving me time to take off parts and put if back to oem condition.
well since the car is totalled make a good choice and go 335i my friend has a cammed and modded g8 and my other buddy has a 335i with jb4 an intercooler downpipes and other small mods and its just a better car i think than the g8. the g8 is no slouch though it put down 418whp on the local dyno
