Just looking for some opinions. I have a rev-up 350Z ~70k miles and already dumped a lot of money in this car relative to its value. Nismo Exhaust, HFC, CAI, paint, etc...
I look online and see there are 350Zs with low mileage selling under $13k. Is it worth it to drop $6k-$8k to supercharge this car (can't afford TT, will probably need new clutch as well) or should I just sell it and save up for a new car? I guess I am most concerned (and confused) about the rapidly depreciating value of the 350Z. If I sell. anyone know what I can even get for my car right now? Hard to find comparable cars with the same mods.

350z are good for nothing except cruising or stancing.

Modding the VQ35 is a waste of time.

If you like it and want more power than its worth it.
If your indifferent to the car or value money than no.

I doubt Ill get rid of my Mustang any time soon so FI doesnt bother me much, Id just as soon buy another car if I needed another.

/thread

In my area I wouldn't give you more than $10k for yours. I sold my track model with 50k for $13500 last year, and that was good.

do what i do and dump NO money into the Z and save up for a car with real power potential. Your not going to get that much power out of a supercharger on the z, if you want power your better off going twins or single turbo but I'd personally opt for a faster car. I sold off my 03 Z before the price got dumped on. 17.5 back when it had 50k miles on it. better decide what your going to do before you dump more mileage into it.

do what i did and buy a 5.0

what year is yours?
