Message	My roomate just got a Evo and added the same basic mods that I have... intake & exhaust. He asked if I wanted to hit it on the freeway and though I don't usually race I agreed. I did feel bad though since I had a TT V-6 vs. his Single turbocharged inline 4. I had not only displacement but another turbo(more flow/boost?). I told him once he hit it I would take off thinking I would catch up and pass him... Never happened... :( He never pulled away but I never gained anything either. Made me consider letting my baby go for a newer (warrantied) car with the same (or better?) performance (Not the Z's beautiful looks though). I'm just dreading the Z breaking down cause when that happens it's $$$ and I don't know if I want to put that much into an 11yr old car. I know this will eventually have to happen though... So basically, is the Z worth it? I guess I wouldn't mind so much if the performance was there but am I going to start getting run over by almost stock/lightly modded 4 clyinder cars now like the Evos and the Neons?
