Since the GT2 and Z06 lay down about the same #'s but the GT2 is rated at 30 less HP

There will always be someone faster, more powerful, etc. so who really cares. No question you would be better off financially sticking with a stock car but if you have the money and don't mind spending it then there's no question there's plenty of room for improvement. This is true of Porsches and just about anything with a motor.

love it..I'm with ya buddy. I didn't plan to mod my car when I bought it. I thought a TT X-50 would be all I ever needed. I love my car as a daily driver, but like you, want it lower and faster! My EVO Stage 4 will be done this weekend!

This is so true. I'm really excited about my upgrades, but I'm talking with one our nurses this morning and he has a modded Skyline GTR that is putting down 1100 HP! He says his quarter mile times are sub 9 seconds! Is that possible or is he yanking my chain?

Willcox, the truth is, just like Supras...there are some MONSTER Skylines out there. 1,100 hp is not unheard of.
