Cars are lame. Buy a 20k diesel truck and a 20k 5th wheel camper and go travel.

Buy a brz limited ~ $27,000

Supercharger/turbo with tune ~$10,000

Full exhaust ~$2500

Coilovers ~$1500

Wheels/tires ~$2000


~$43,000


You'll achieve far more hp than a stock cayman, still have that racecar feel and ultimate driving position, cheaper routine maintenance all while still being under 2800 lbs.

I'd rather have both, but if I had to pick one or the other.. I'd pick a car any day of the week.. Fuck a 5th wheel anyways, I love pulling my popup around.. And its huge "not 5th wheel huge, but good enough".

I like cars but I can't do it for a daily driver. I tried it and hated it.

Some of the pop ups out there are actually really nice! If I didn't always have people tagging along with me i'd probably buy one instead of the camper I have. I never get to go camping/fishing alone anymore it seems so the bigger camper suits what I need.

I'll never buy another bumper pull again though. That 325rlsa I have is a bitch to pull....

I said routine maintenance........

You would have to be a complete idiot to say that a Porsche would have cheaper maintenance than a brz..

My ~10,000 for Forced induction include kits that are much more complete. These engines easily can yield 400 hp without building the engine. If you want to go 450+, that's when you have to look into a stronger build.

Also, I would recommend a supercharger over turbo. It might not yield the highest top end gains, but it's cheaper, more reliable, more practical, and helps more where the car lacks.

Fuck a warranty, murica

Hey, let's all make idiotic edits in quotes, creating retarded assumptions.

Where did I say it was okay to make major modifications during break in period?

Many people void their warranty the first month they have their car, I don't, and I wouldn't recommend that. Yet, many people go in that direction.
