Default Getting a TC

Right now I drive a 05 350z, and I am getting tired of the high insurance payments and premium gas. And I'm tired of having a car this fast because it does nothing but get you in trouble. So I am selling my car, and getting a TC, hopefully soon. I have been looking at them alot lately and stuff for them are alot less expensive.

Supercharger for a 350 is anywhere from 4,500 - 6,000. And turbo kits are just as expensive and more.

And the Exhaust on my car was 800, this car it's 389.

It just amazes me how that is.

Sorry, enough of me rambling, I'll post more when I get the TC.

Think about it, more TCrs so they can make high volume with high demand so its cheaper. Plus there are lots of competitors. The 350z is a more expensive car so there are less of them on the road, and even less that want to mod it. So there is a demand with low supply, so a higher cost.

I know how you feel as my RX7 is a small market now. But mine takes 87 octane

unless you got a single cansiter exhaust...... 350Z 2 canister and more piping, tC 1 cansiter and less piping. And I do not know any 18 y.o.'s with a 350Z......... so you are lucky. But I dont think most 18 y.o.'s can actually afford to maintain and keep a Z33.
