I really want the carbon but of course they want to make sure the power is made first before they make it pretty. So if anyone wants a 304 SS slightly used( mine ) and of course slightly cheaper, keep your eye out in the marketplace. Either I'm gonig to be selling it(because I want the carbon) or Revshift is but for everything to be finalized we basically need to wait.

Good man, thanks for asking. Everyone has been very generous and trust me when I say this, that I appreciate it

So far fund is up to $50 and it goes to show that even small donations still add up very nicely.

There just isn't the same involvement with the car. I've driven SMG M3's and DSG GTI's and been more than a little disappointed with both. I'm completely used to driving a stick shift though, and the involvement it enjoyable to me. I won't argue for a second that a manual will beat an SMG or DSG around a track, but I just don't enjoy driving them as much. If the GTR had the choice between a faster DSG or a slower manual (less gears on the manual, etc.) I would lean manual still simply for the control and fun.

At the end of the day if we were all wholly concerned with performance we'd own something more along the lines of an Evo. You can make 450awhp with stock turbo, hardlines, new downpipe, exhaust, tune, and upping the boost a ton.

The cost on that is much lower than it is to make the same from our engines, but its what we like.

If you like your car with an auto, get one, it just isn't as much fun for a number of us.

Man idk why cause carbon fiber is so cool on engine parts. I saw a carbon fiber intake in real life and it was gorgeous...beautiful....some words that came to mind.

And you gotta sell what you can to get it. We all make sacrifices. How do you think I bought it? I sold my left leg because I could live without it cause i have an auto

330 to 340 whp out of a NA 07+ 350Z would be amazing. I was breaking into the mid 8's in the eighth mile at 330whp in my 05 with 85 shot of juice. I am trying to find a 07 used lightly for the right price now because the HR has so much more potential.....

Cams-CAI-HFC-Headers-Tune-Exhaust-Intake Manifold = 330hp+
That would be friggen sweeeeet!

I have the CAI-Exhaust-HFC on my Z now and I am at 290hp. Thats without a tune! I cant imagine what my car would be like with all of the mods listed.

+1 exactly....

Only reason I chose to buy a Z compared to a 335i bmw coupe was that the auto Z felt more like a typical stick car if that makes sense. It has the rawest power delivery from an auto that I have driven which is good but I just recently got the urge to get the full amount of raw power unleashed after driving a couple buddies cars and remembering what it feels like lol.

Your on the way to glory If i'm not mistaken that's exactly what Infinite had before his tune and after he got 311whp so...

I would love to get cams and have around 335-345whp but install rapes u so hard it leaves you not remembering your name....No way 3 grand is worth MAYBE 10whp.
