Message	I haven't been paying attention to the Z market but I'm guessing you can find a car with reasonable miles and upgraded turbos/mild mods for the same price as a clean low mileage stocker. FYI - I'm still on stock hairdryers with 112K miles and mild upgrades...haven't had any major failure but I think I'm getting some 'extra' exhaust fun so an upgrade may be in my future.
