10K will get you about 200HP if spent right!

I didn't buy a 350Z because I wanted a commuter car.

i think the only reason i don't like Z garage much is that Rob always want to use Nismo or Stillent parts. To me, those 2 brands are just over price.

44K + 10K = 55K = new 05 Covette.

What kind of math is that? My 350Z was 32K + Mods = I will smoke any Corvette, even a Z06 and the 350Z is way sexier.

I don't mind answering questions Bubble, but your last two posts are extremely uninformed and just plain false.

Twice, i called Rob he always try to sell me Nismo or Stillen. Exhaust system and Header. He always said "I have nismo in stock" For god sake, just ask the customer what they want and go with it. I just feel i am being pressured to get Nismo or Stillent. So i end up installed it elsewhere with Borla.

About the turbo charge stuff, my car out the door is 44k (roaster) with out any mod yet. So if i add mod and tt to, it would cost way more than buying a new Z06. Again, i just said i don't get the part to spend another 10K for another 100hp or so.

Thumbs up

ZCG has my recommendations. BTW...Rob only suggests Nismo and Stillen since that is what he would use himself in his car. You don't have to go by what he is suggesting. They're merely his suggestions. He also suggested to me, to go with a Nismo exhaust but I opted for the Legalis-R which I'm really happy with. Point is, they do an excellent job if you need to do a mod. I do all my major modz with them.

Off topic...has anyone ridden on their APS TT Z yet? OMG!!! That thing is a beast!!! I swear my stomach fell on the road somewhere between 1st and 2nd gear and that thing wasn't even programmed yet!? Straight out of the box!

Didn't get to ride in the APS, but I rode in the Vortech g35 running 10.5lbs of boost. From 6000 to 6600 when it hits full boost, that car rips. Rob told me its in next months Sport Compact Car.
