I bought it out right from the dealer. I'm gonna see what NISMO has to offer (besides the intake/exhaust/ECU upgrade) first before I go the Turbo route. Power Enterprise also has a nicer turbo kit. Rumour also has it that NISMO may have a supercharger for the thing. If I can have my warranty and upgrade the performance as well....That would be sweet.

Factory turbo might come out as early as 2005 I heard...

Dented & SCG: Of course! Soon as it's broken in. I'm at 1000k right now. Need another 1000k and I'll be there. By then, the roads should be decent as well.
I had to get the car towed out of my driveway because of the snow storm in London last night.
But it was Nissan Roadside Assistance, so it didn't require me to dish out any cash.
Other than that the thing is running great!
I don't think the 350Z will ever come in the turbo version, since the new GTR is either supposed to get a V8 or 350Z's engine (VQ) and turbo'ed. They have to make the 350z slower than the GTR, right? But I do believe the rumour of a possible factory turbo. that will bump the horses up by about 50 at the wheels. I'll be happy with that. Too much power on a RWD car only means some serious trouble.
I want to spend more time on the suspension this time to get it more track ready. Shannonville, here I come!
The dealer took my car in as a trade in and gave me good money for the car, and I got MSRP. Considering there are dealers in TO selling over MSRP, I think I did ok.
Thanks for the comments guys. I'm still gonna buy a Civic a couple of years down the road. A hatch of course, 'cause it's just so much more fun to play with a Civic.
