Well, if you ever want to live that VQ dream you can roll some pennies and buy a 350Z/G35. I daily drove an M6 G35 coupe for a while, and felt lucky to get $2800 out of it last year from the young man who bought it. I loved the exhaust note from the stock exhaust, one of the better sounding V6's to *my* ear. I enjoyed the car as a daily beater, it did use a LOT OF OIL though ... common early VQ thing though. Like this car would use a quart every 500 miles............ main reason I dumped it.
I never did any mods to this car other than replace a broken grille. The VQ35, for the price you pay for mods, responds really poorly IMO.... unless you're throwing forced induction at it.
My neighbor just sold his '06 sedan M6 G35 with the factory Ray's wheels on it for $1750 lol. Those wheels alone would sell for $500-600 on eBay.
