I think you are answering your own question... you simply want the Z and THAT is the ultimate issue behind it ALL. Trust me; I've seen this before.

Yeah man, don't put more money in it if you want the Z. I semi regret getting my GS instead of a used Z. Save the money you will be spending on mods and put it down on a Z.

I'd suggest just doing full bolt ons and then saving for a Z06. Not to mention, are you okay with how the drivability of the car will change? It may be a little more cumbersome to drive and get lower MPG. Just be prepared for those things.

Default depends on how long you'll keep it

If it's a long term relationship fine, but know such changes will not be returned to you upon selling/trading it in....

No mods ruins the value except for a select few and upgrade to a Z06!

I wouldn't mod a new car. That's likely why you're nervous. If you really want to work on a car, but a used one. If you want to own a new car, buy a new one. But buying a new car to work on would cause me some angst too.

Lots of people do it, especially around here. I tend to wait until the warranty is up because I feel like I've -paid- for the warranty, why ruin it. To each their own.
