Sooooo... it's bonus time, I can't decide.... Turbo the Z or step the home entertainment game up to a 60" flat panel and surround just in-time for football season.


I would probably be interested in a twin turbo , valve body, and 3.5 FD swap for my 5AT. for the Z

Home theater would probably be a 50-60" HD 1080p of some sort with klipsch or phillips surround nothing too ridicculous.

Seeing that it is inevitable that everyone will end up eventually selling their Z's at some point in time, I say upgrade your home entertainment system.

You should send me the 48" and upgrade your system!


Maybe a HD projector to span it out to about 120" ?

Id rather watch myself running my boosted car on a small tv, than to watch other boosted cars on a big one.

I'd say TT but.... to do it right will be 20K + so I would get a GTR or enjoy the z n/a.

As for HT, all I can say is that image quality is everything. So in my opinion plasmas and lcd screens do not have it yet. I suggest you take a look @ this : http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665156111

I personally have a blu-ray player, but whatever signal you give your new set , it must be hi-def . And for the movie night, try to give it 1080p.
