got the Z out today...

[rmezz13]

She just isn't doing it for me much anymore. Sounds amazing, but even after about a month of not driving it, still feel that i need more. More power really, is good in the turns and always has been but the straights and higher speeds it doesn't do it for me anymore. I want to climb a lot faster then i am... i need an SC... i need some money... Discuss.... (?)

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Sack up and get a supercharger?

[snwbrdr435]

i need some money...

. Dont we all.

[BlackSmoke]

Ha we are all in debt just get the damn supercharger already, imagine the days of enjoyment instead of the horrible post you just gave. LOL Oh and show pics of install. Life is short, I keep hearing you say "Drive Hard". Good luck Ry you know whats best.

[bmike818]

I am with you on the power. There are times that I can not believe I am going soOo slow, as it turns out I just got used to the power that I currently have. It is now time to get more power. You are ready for F/I!

Maybe it's time to put your Z on a serious diet!?!

[ldstang50]

Maybe it's time to put your Z on a serious diet!?!

plus f/i oh ya!!!!!2700lbs and 400whp, can you say 'sleeper'

[rmezz13]

sleeper is what i'm thinking... powder coat the front mount semi gloss black and i also was thinking of coating the charger and mount to match. i mean you would still see it with the hood up but i think it would look sick...

as far as a diet, thought of it but gutted cars are junk looking... and for an enthusiasts car its not necessary. Plus i am trying to gain weight - F/I is the answer to my problem.

[Watermelonwarrior]

I drove my brothers C6 Vette for about a week and I fell in love. I love the Z but damn the power is nice. I wish I had the money to upgrade to the vette.

[rchboy]

i had the same problem with my z when i took it out the other day. it just doesnt feel the same for me either. the last time i drove it was september, so its been a while. i dont understand it myself.

[r12rex]

Supercharge or turbo maybe?

[NSRsheets]

Would be nice. Let us know if you decide to do anything.

[350Engineer]

Well if you are have money problems and cant get the power. Then do what the Z was meant for. Take it to the track and use it strength in the turns. I assure you if u want to feel that you car is fast all you have to do is go to the track and when you start passing 911 carreras, S4's, SL 550's and other high horsepower cars, you will feel like you have the fastest car in the world, and as you skills also increase so will the level of the cars you will dominate. Hope this helps you, I know it helps me.

understand that, but can you point me to a track thats open in ohio right now... i don't need the power on the track, its on the back roads and high speeds. Thanks tho, will definitely get some track time in her this year, can't really call it a track only car tho, i don't have the funds to support that. Which means multiple autoX's might not be in the agenda after all. Looks like some Mid-Ohio is going to be most of it.

[ThuG LyFe]

go test drive a s2000. there's your answer. speed isn't everything. thank me later.

[Watermelonwarrior]

Hes moved up from an S2000. If you were thinking about getting another car I would highly recommend a C6 Vette. If I had the money I would buy one and I probably will in a few years. The power is insane and the car is very reliable. My brothers has 30k hard miles and not one single problem.

LOL... had one. this is way far up and ahead of the S2K, but i do like them. In a few years they will be dominating the autox clubs (once retail drops a bit more on them)

Never wanted a c5 or c6. Like them, but if you saw the people that have them here, makes me not want one. they are literally at every stop light (c6's) and most of them don't "use" them. Good choice, but not for me (right now).A local enthusiast (older guy) said "Impressive is not what i bought, but what you've built". He has a Lostus Exige and some Mercedes vert that is some special edition that has like 650hp....

[msv]

I hear you. human nature to always want more.

[R350Zz33]

amg or barbus

SL 65

[Anthonysflying]

Brabus. I know mezz is ballin....but is he Ballin? Those and black series Mercs come with a hefty price tag.

If the power feels that much different then maybe its time for a tune-up? Thing has been sitting there for the winter right?

EDIT: My bad i meant to add that if you don't mind the badge an M3 with a horsepower freaks turbo setup would get your blood pumping and be much more user/family/girlfriend friendly than the z.

[R350Zz33]

he was talking about a old man's benz lol

[rmezz13]

old man benz? thats the SL65.... (black series)

and "no" mezz is not "ballin" or "BALLIN" r how ever you want to say it. I just have semi expensive interest in cars. Its not the price its what it can do, then i find one i can afford that has what i want. (good credit and decent pay are what i am)

[BusyBadger]

old man benz?

Yes, if the old man in question is Emerson Fittipaldi.

Looks better than the GTR, plus its even got built in eyelids - double score!

[NissanFairladyZ32]

Single Turbo On The Z

Or

Z06

Haha that was a compliment. I don't doubt your interest in a cars performance and not its value as a status symbol. The jump from a 350z to an SL65 is more of a leap. We all fiend for one and for god sakes man why did you wait so long! More power!!!!

[ldstang50]

mezz is ballin. he was looking for an RS6 or CTS a while ago.To me that IS ballin

[rmezz13]

That new SL65 AMG Black Series (pictured) has 670 hp 738 ft/tq and making that all happen is a biturbo v12 !!!!!!!!!!!! The price tag is not a penny below $300,000 if you can find one that cheap in the US... LOL

No mezz is debating on selling the Z because work might close doors and he may need to put some money in the bank to survive what may turn into a depression... super not ballin. ldstang50 is ballin, just bought a nismoZ and is spending $$$$ on it weekly. Why didnt you just buy the GTR man? I know you gots the fundsP.S. always looking for a deal on an RS6

[ldstang50]

HA! I wanted a car to DRIVE not a car to drive me. Cars today are so computer oriented, they can make any bumbling retard look atleast like John Andretti......you know having a good run for the first half the race, but somehow just gets caught up....we're still 10yrs away from everybody being Lewis Hamiltons.Plus GTR would have put me in SS where it would get killed by the GT3, and Elise's and a good damn fortune to set up

[Anthonysflying]

I've always wanted an RS6 Avant for ultimate sleeper status. but the truth is I'm secretly in love with the RS5...i think it looks the best out of the RS lineup.

[spitalul2bad]

Anyone check out the Geneva Auto Show? It's on this week and Audi just launched the 370Z's killer. The Audi TT RS. 340 HP, quattro drive and 4,7 seconds to 62.

build quality is WAY over the 370z and the magnetic dampers are heaven!
