If you have the money to "build" a daily driver then I would suggest to do a TT conversion and you can enjoy the benefit of a TT with the insurance rates of an NA.

Contact Z1 motor sports. They do them all the time.

Speaking from experience? ok ok... that one was below the belt

Besides, ya gotta have a built motor to properly run a turbo anyway. The way I see it, we're a step ahead of the built N/A owners.

I just love giving the spooler junkies a ration from time to time. I have a buddy with a GNX (Buick Grand National) that never shuts the Hell up about how fast it is. I have made him a standing offer... Race for pink slips, me in my 280ZX VS. him in his GNX... Only condition is that I get to pick the course. He won't go for it... *****.

wait isnt an n/a already a good daily driver, i wouldnt really want to drive something too fast for my daily but thats just me i like my n/a it gets up enough for daily driving, if i want to race ill hop in my 240 and race but i cant drive that car all the time it gets quite annoying its just too much for driving around. this is just my opinion. smily face here. ahh who the @#*# am i kidding im sure ill upgrade my n/a and then im sure ill get a tt and upgrade that too. but an n/a is still a good daily driver.

I agree. But it varies for me sometimes. I mean when I'm commuting in the Z or stuck in traffic I'll be sitting there wishing I was in something a little more comfortable. But then if I'm cruising around in the Protege or Neon and I get the urge to let loose it's just not there and I'll wish I was back in the Z. I've found the best way to balance it is to drive the Z for the most part. When the family wants to go out or I have a LONG drive I'll hop in one of the other cars. Then when I get to drive the Z again I appreciate it all over again. Of course the Z32 is alot more comfortable than my S130 so I probably wouldn't have the comfort issues. But sometime a change up is just the cure when your Z starts getting a little stale from day to day driving.
