Right from the start its down, almost 70hp on a stock 370Z and it has 4 doors, there is really no getting over that.
As you stated you still have drop $2k into it just to get it approaching a 370Z's stock numbers.
If anything you should have went for something that more HP than the 370Z, unless your getting to old to handle a more powerfull car.
I learned a long time ago that once you are spoiled by a more powerfull vehicle, going backwards never really satisfies you.
The only reason I could really see to down size in HP would be to get greater gas mileage, lets say 45-50 mpg.
Face it you went from Catrinel Menghia, to a life with Snooki.

and this right here is your entire problem from the get go... you're an uneducated wannabe gearhead who really knows nothing about cars. The Z has more HP sure... the problem is that 310-315 whp is all you're going to get out of it and about how much wtq? I said 2 grand will get me over 300 WHP while ALL the NA mods on the Z will net you the above numbers... get a clue dude. This wasn't to turn into a who's faster or who has more power. If you come up on a new WRX i'd think twice about running it if I were you... i'll leave it at that.
