If you were given 15k to mod your Z, would you build an NA monster or go FI?

I certainly don't have 15k, and if I did, it wouldn't all go to my Z, but theoretically, what would you build? I ask this because I would keep my Z all motor and spend money lightening it along with N/A mods. I just prefer the throttle response of NA and to me while having a car with lots of power is great, weight is the enemy when it comes to handling pleasure, for example, I'd take a Manthey Porsche 911 GT3 RS over an SLR. What would go guys do, go FI or keep a carbon'd out NA Z?

FI
15k is more than enough for TT on stock motor and lightweight carbon stuff

Boost is like sex, NA doesn't get any!

There is no such thing as a NA monster when a baby TT job way outpowers it.

You might as well go FI, because $15K will not be enough for an NA monster, TRUST ME.

its about driving pleasure, not outright speed. A lotus elise would give you more driving pleasure than, say, an SLK AMG.

to each their own, I guess. An Elise is universally lauded as one of the greatest handling cars of our generation. The SLK AMG isn't the sharpest drive at all, its more of a boulevardier. Now if you're talking about a CLK Black Series.....that scores very high on the fun to drive factor (apparently) despite being heavy.
