I have too many ideas...worse mistake is to pull the trigger; especially because of how so uncertain I am about all of them.

I looked into it but all the owners I know that have/had one go through a lot of problems and maintenance on them is hefty.
I was looking into a super car and one thing I realized is that being able to buy one is totally different than being able to afford. Buy? Yes I could probably buy a used super car but I can't afford all the maintenance and scheduled servicing it demands. I know a few people with some exotics and these cars aren't a simple pop the hood and fix the problem type. Everything is electronically controlled and has sensors which require you to bring your car to a certified dealer and that costs a lot per visit. ALL my friends that own super cars tell me there's always some electronic problem that goes on and just to get it checked is expensive (does not include labor and parts). I want a car that I can enjoy and not worry about always breaking down or having issues. I've had my Z since I bought her brand new and I've had zero issues.

LOL. The NSX was considered just recently. The FD along with r32, z32 and 3gs were options back when I was in the market for another sports car. That was four years ago. I didn't get the Rx7 because of the list of problems owners were experiencing. That's why I joined their forum back then to research and look into the car before I pulled the trigger.

you can make it what you think you want...supercar status

they are just as good as the Z, a well taken car of and properly tuned FD can easily push 300hp, and built can be 500+hp from a turbo and 80 cubic centimeters. as far as reliability, with 99 spec turbos and small things it will be just as reliable as an other car.... not trying to be a dick just my 2 cents...
and btw, every time i come into this thread and see pics of your Z i realize why i still have mine.

I used to have two "play" cars at home, but it didn't work out too well. One was taking attention away from the other, not to mention all the time it took away from doing other things. Having just my Z as my play car opened up room for so many other things in life. In the end, its the best decision.
Sorry dude, I don't clearly understand what you're saying but I think I get the idea
The only thing left to go crazy with is the engine. I'm not really going to touch anything else other than a BBK. I might just opt to go with the GT Brembos. If I go FI I plan on either going with either APS or Greddy twins.
