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!

A carbon'd out N/A beats would go well over 15k

$15k + 350z + $750/m(48m) = GT-R

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.
