Your thinking like me. I have thought about getting a GT-R but know that I would get around 40k for my car and then pay another 50k just to get it. My car is already faster then a stock GT-R. At the end of the day I am not a professional race car driver, this car is a toy, I have fun with it.

I dont power launch or power brake it... I just sometimes hit it from a light.. no track.. all street driving... thanks again guys.... again would love to hear from some TUNERS...

Instead of spending lots of time posting here, why not just call a bunch of tuners and speak to them one on one. EPL, Mark,Switzer....most of them (in not all) are here to help and are readily available to have you pick their brains, if not call and schedule a time that you two can sit down on the phone for an hour or two and go through some options, have a pen and paper and take notes, I did this and I am happy I took the time to not just get to know the tune and the power but also the tuner as well.

of course I will speak with the tuner that I am considering using, but it also..at least for me is good to hear what customers say, not just the salesman about a certain product or set up.. there are not many tiptronic cars out there with upgraded turbos.. and again I dont want to have transmission issues, so yes Im going a bit slow on my choice, but the car is also in Florida and I am in Ny at the moment so there is NO rush for me... would rather do this once the right way..
