Agreed, not saying to change the platform, but to be one of those 'first to do...' peoples. It would be interesting to see what it could do an an AWD drivetrain.

Anything can be done with money, but the Z is designed around a RWD platform and throwing on an AWD setup would most likely destroy the frame without some major improvements. The extra force from the AWD up front would cause some serious strain.

On the topic at hand, it all depends what you want. FI will provide more power at a major cost and reliability, and NA will provide quicker response, more fluid power but still can be unreliable.
