Ok here's the deal. I'm in Germany right now and I'm thinking on selling my car just the fact that there's no Infinti dealerships here, I can sell this waayy more than what I can get in the states especially getting paid in euros, ( the US dollar is monopoly money over here), and that I'm damn near the only one with one unless theres another soldier around here with one. The thing is though I love this car and that this was my dream car, but Im thinking of buying an 08 Audi S5. The reason behind that not only does the car look sexy as hell, but its already turboed. I want to boost my car but it's an auto, which is my fault because I dont know how to drive a man. trans
. Im more of a hp pincher so I try to buy every little add on I can buy to make some kind of difference well in my head it is. My future mods are racing pulleys and eventually an exhaust and SC or turbo... My question to you all is out of all the things I have done to this car would it be worth trading it in for something a little faster or just continuing to dump $ into it? This is if you had the option to do it.

Well, this is kind of a decision you have to make for yourself, because you need to ask yourself:
Is the extra money that I'll spend to get the new car and mod it how I want going to give me at least that much in enjoyment?
It's hard to put a $ value on the enjoyment you'd get out of having the new car, but try to think about what else you could spend that money on (opportunity cost) and how much enjoyment that would give you in comparison.
There's a lot more you can do to forced induction motors to get HP, so if you really want something crazy fast then that's probably the way to go. It's going to be fairly expensive; even moreso considering how much you've dumped into the G35 (it is unlikely you will get good compensation for your mods). You're going to be starting over from scratch.
If I had the money laying around and really wanted the car, I'd probably do it. Just take at least a month to think this over because it's a huge decision that 90% of the people in the world probably wouldn't understand (the general sentiment seems to be if what you've got is already good, why try to make it better?). But then again, it looks like you like to mod, so you've probably encountered that and overcome it already.
