anyways .......

nissan reliability > VW

the reason why i did own a Z also

Yea HPA works more on the 6cylinders like the R32 twin turbo kit is what they are widely known for. That thing puts down very impressive numbers plus AWD is very nice!!

I also miss the tight solid german engineering... i.e. when you close the door on the Z it gives a little rattle, when you close the door on the gti it made a nice tight thud.

What did you trade in the Z for?

I did some searching and the 07's dyno in the 260s stock?? Thats very impressive...

Just finished the break in period and let me tell you this thing rips on the highway!!
You may have trouble hitting a 13.3 stock as you don't have an LSD. Swap that in and your 60 foot times might drop a tenth or two.

Well the funny thing is you went from german to japanese, and i went the other way around. I'm currently driving a 07' X5, which is pretty nice for a daily driver but i'm hoping to grab a sport car agian once i finish up school. i really do miss the stick and the clutch though.

I agree with German doors vs Japanese doors. My car takes a little bit more power to get it closed compare to the Z. I always have to check if it closed.

alright well goodluck!!
