ViperGas Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Hello I've been looking for a good looking and affordable performance coupe for some time. I have the 313 model in mind which I consider to be a lot of car for the money but and am considering to install a sc. The cost of a low milage zed is about £10000 The cost of a super charger capable of circa 400bhp (no internal mods) is what? £4000 If this is the case the total cost is about £14000. So here's my question. Some members on here have hinted it would be better to buy a different car with a stock engine already capable of similar performance. ...what would you get?

StevoD Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) 4k all in for a super charger is unlikly prepare for about 6-7 but for 14k a super charged monaro if you want bhp Edited January 11, 2015 by StevoD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The cost of a supercharger for the HR with the supporting mods you'd need is a little more than £4K as Stevo mentioned. Link: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/93320-torqen-lowest-price-350z-hr-07-08-stillen-supercharger-custom-package/ So let's say £14K-£16K then give or take to be more realistic. Just about enough to get you a 2006/07 Audi RS4 4.2 (415bhp) that does 0-60 in around 4.9 secs so pretty decent performance there with the added bonus of 4wd & some more seats.

Ekona Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 And V8 noises! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 OP, when you say you want performance, do you want straight line speed or handling as well? As nice as the RS4 is, a Zed or the obvious M3 (46 or 90) handles better, so would be quicker round a circuit, for example. Regardless, £16K gets you into an M6. That'll demolish a 400bhp Zed or an RS4 without breaking sweat, and plus you have one of the last great V10 road engines in there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Remapped 335i should see you up to about 380 bhp for about £14k... although if you can afford it, it's got to be an me, would demolish all, and be a very nice place to sit while doing it.

docwra Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Aye, Ive just bought a 135i remapped to 430hp/525 lb/ft for about that, its a weapon. Youre not far off 996 Turbo money there either, E9* M3s are 400hp and so are XF-R, Lexus IS-F, M5 is closer to 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperGas Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 So far some good suggestions! But for me as an over all package..style...handling...power...fun...the zed still stands out. Although the BMW M3 or the 335i two door might be a viable alternative since one can be picked up very cheap. What are your personal preferences?

Ekona Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Doesn't really matter, it's your money I'd be having the M6 over an M3 or a 335i, or anything else mentioned really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Charging the HR is quite expensive, £7k min for self install if you do it on a budget, but realistically you won't get much change from £8-9k. It will be a lot cheaper to go for an earlier model and do it. The Zed handles well out the box, but improves massively with a few suspension tweaks. Like Ekona said, the M6 is a awesome machine for little money and will destroy most things on the road! And the 335i and M3 can be picked up for similar money. Depends what you are after at the end of the day, everyone has a BMW these days the Z is something you don't see many of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 You could probably pick up a nice singe turbo Supra for 14-16K and have a minimum of 600BHP which will see off most things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
