Default New 35th Anniversary Edition Z!

Hey guys, thought I would introduce myself.

I just bought a 35th Anniversary Z with only 28k miles on it. I am in love with the car and hope to make some minor modifications to the car. Anyone recommend a particular mod for my first one? I'm not knowledgeable about modding cars at all and I'm only a grad student so the most bang-for-the-buck suggestions would be appreciated!

welcome to the site. One of my favorite <$500 mods is my 5/16 plenum spacer. JWT popcharger makes for a nice intake tone. High flow cats or test pipes would be a nice place to start as well.

Nothing will do much unless you plan to go forced induction. So why not start with some nice springs and shocks or coil-overs and maybe some wheels.

Welcome to the forums! Save up and get some 3.9 or 4.08 gears...you won't regret it!
