so your 370z is not stock? Supposedly like the lingenfelter's and hennessy's are bad ideas where they add like 300 hp to your mustang cause it has not warranty. Did you also consider like a mustang gt over the 370z? it has more hp

I bought my 370Z used. It was past warranty by that time. Add that + finding Nissan dealerships not too good with handling the car + my general agenda to modify a car = that's what happened. My biggest obstacle is California and it's laws.

Was pretty fixated on the 370Z because I've always wanted it since debut. I'm coming from a childhood of playing Gran Turismo. Between GT4 and GT5 I had an inclination to using the 350Z and then 370Z when it entered the series. I wouldn't want to just say "I prefer Japanese cars" (although from a reliability standpoint, I do) but more like having something that played true to the original selection the Gran Turismo series provided a lot of non-supercar, mostly Japanese models to shop in the new and used selection.

Sure enough the Mustang entered the GT series since the 2nd installment, but the idea of how realistic it could be to own a car that existed in a videogame, started with the original game.

Also, I don't want to be the butt of Ford and Mustang jokes :p
