To each their own I guess... They made like 30k z cars each year. Hit up YouTube and check out how many vids are uploaded. Unless yours pulls grand or more, it might as well be stock. Sure its yours and its special, but its special just like everyone else's car. I would want to drive it, not sit and watch/edit video clips of it on a dyno.

lol - the more I see dumb crap posted about Z's, the less I like em.
I think of my car more of a collector item now, if I can keep it long enough and in great condition.
Good luck, Erik. I hope it all works out for you and your mom.

Been seeing a lot more Z33's around here lately. Last week, I saw 2 that I've never seen before. Last night, a vert drove by my house.
The Z is becoming way too common.

I like the Supra, but I dont know that I would ever own one. Great for straight line, thats about it. I know 2 guys with 600hp+ Supras, and another friend that used to have one that was 500something hp, each one cant take a corner to save their life. But they look good crawling through malls and sitting in parking lots.
