Default Turbo or NA

Should I buy a low priced Z28 or a built NA one? With the 4k savings I could put a turbo on the Z or just enjoy the built NA one that is about $3k more.

Well with only $4k in the bank i would reccomend buying the built NA car.

A turbo setup can be done with $4k but the rest of the car will need to be built also! You will need another $4k+ for trans/rear/suspension!

When i did my turbo build i started with a $8k budget but im well over $20k now... it adds up so fast!

I love turbo cars, but they are very expensive...

Its really all up to you. what do YOU want more?

NA would probably be the most logical choice...but damn a turbo setup would be nice... I know, I'm not helping...

X2 post above, its gonna come down to what you really want, something tells me that if everyone on here tells you go NA but you still want a turbo, you're gonna end up with a turbo.

I think I've made up my mind.
