I bet and they are smog legal! If I got caught with my car in CA, I would go to prison for a long time...LOL Green peace would have a field day with me.

Basically if you drove behind me for a prolong period, your babies would come out all jacked up!

Actually its really not my fault, its Sharif he tunned it.

Traction control for your Z is your next mod.

Well you know MoTeC has the best traction control on the market, he could always upgrade the VPro to a M800, with the accompanying options needed

+1, I'm running about 510hp at the crank and this car feels incredible.........as it should for the price.

Luie, no problem........we'll go for spin (check that) -> we'll go for a drive. It will certainly not have the brutal power of your Z but it sure is a blast to drive.

You will miss the car, but will never look back. Selling my car and taking the hit was ok after I saw my money pit driving away with a new owner.
I have no problem telling people how much I spend on my car. I will never mod another car unless I hit the lotto.

Honestly though. Sell it. You will miss it for about a year then you realize you have much more money.

DO IT!

Don't sell it. If you do, you will regret it.

I said the same thing about a year and a half ago after my Turbo Stratus project, dump 30K into that thing then sold it like 3 months laters. LMAO I do still regret it but the money earned without worry about it was alot. I did pretty good for the most part not buying another car. Thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn in Feb 08, I decided to get a Z and lets just say my checking account has seen better days. But I am done now.......Maybe.....Yeah I'm done.

Sell It!!!! Your account with thank you in the end. Especially when you get to Japan. What part you trying to go to I was stationed in Okinawa from 02-04. I loved every minute of it, definately a single mans dream. Fast cars and asian woman everywhere ready to get down.

Back to Okinawa! I was there from 01 to mid 05, and if you rode bikes you know who I am (IF you rode up to Hedo point on the weekends). Yep! Oki is a blast!

Stay safe! Hows the weather over there be back over there in July!

I wanted to spice things up and say...

Luie upon reconsideration you should sell now. Once I get my car back and you get beat again, you will surely want to sell it. Save yourself the stress!!
