if you wanted me to pick, I would pick option number 2. My reasoning: its a MT and is significantly cheaper than option 3. and if the replacement engine is still bad...you can replace it again. just my

get a nismo. sorry, im kind of biased.

I guess it really depends on what you are getting the car for. If it is to be a DD then i would go with option 3 but if it is just for fun, go with option 2 and drop the extra 5k in the car to get it to run right and then let the modding begin

to answer the last question, i prefer the pearl white, but the carbon silver and orange are nice also

Good luck on the new Z but for future reference there's no need to start the same thread in 2 different places....
