Sorry bro, I hope I didnt come off sounding like an pompous *******. I am the very definition of a baller on a budget, I'm a sophomore in college. I just set my mind on what I want, and then scrimp and save for however long it takes for me to get it.

 

Well all I'm saying is those few grand you mention here and there definitely add up QUICK. Devil Z is just exercising rationale and will probably be happy with what'll get him to 600 rwhp without breaking the bank on commodities that aren't ESSENTIAL to get him there (safely) such as the 4.2L block

 

We're not so much different . . . I'm also a sophomore in college. Count yourself lucky. How many million other sophomores would love to have a TT Z, and wont' even give a crap if it's stock block. Hell they'll take supercharged/ST. Hell, there are MILLIONS of kids that will take a stock Z.

 

Yeah 600whp is doable without stroker. Easier with a stroker of course.

Even 550whp on the streets is fawking ridiculous. Seriously who needs that much power. Unless you're building a street legal drag car or something . . . .

Remember BigBri? Freaking NASTY 350Z he had . . . .

 

congrats...you are doing way better finantially than i did when i was a sophomore

 

I do count myself lucky, but at the same time, I feel like often, people create their own luck.

 

That is the truth bro. With high boost, I still spin my tires at like 35-40mph, so I can't even imagine what a 600whp car would be like.

 

Killed my buddy's 2004 GTO last night. Was not even a race. Put 5-6 car lengths on him and would NOT stop pulling on him. Shut down after like 3 seconds.

440whp is stupid fast. I seem to forget how fast my car is from time to time.

 

why shows why your decition to learn to drive you car as it is before/if you do decide for more power is the right move
