Other BS (Gauges, oil lines ect) - $1000
Already at $9,900... and we don't even have baller wheels or rubber yet, so anywhere from $1,500 for Rotas on chinese tires to $4,000 for a brand new legit setup. When it's all done you have $11,000 to $15,000 into a car that is still only making 400whp and weighs as much as a Mustang GT. Stock for Stock a 350Z destroys the turbo Genie.
..could have had a Porsche.
With these in the Mid-20's, it's really hard to look the other way.

This age-old debate again. Sure. You can buy a stock Porsche if you want. Some ppl don't want that. Just like some ppl would rather build a 240sx instead of just buy a Z32/Z33/Z34, Supra or whatever alternative.
That's fine if ppl keep ignoring the GC. It'll just make them easier to pick up down the road and build for cheap. Just like a 240.
