Why are people saying it's too expensive for the Z if no one has done yet ( I'm not just talking about the GTR engine either). Why are they singling out the Z like it's got a completely different set up than any other car out there?
Partially because it does, partially because the first swap is always the most expensive. It makes literally no sense to spend 20 grand or so swapping something different into a Z, when you could just get a different car instead.

The 370 is not a special car in a pretty much any way. People buy them because they're new and have a warranty. If I want to swap an engine into something, I'd buy something lighter.
