Default TT, SC, or just get an R8 or Porsche GT3?

So the day is approaching that I'll be ending residency and making some serious coin. Given that my wife is stopping my fantasy of moving to Florida and having a sweet sportfishing boat, I'm looking at alternatives that will keep me happy here in Chicago. So I need some thoughts from you guys.

I love my 370Z, but I get smoked on track days by GTRs and Porsche GT3s. While I think the 370Z can hang with them in the corners, corner exits and straight aways leave me in their dust. So, how do we fix this problem? I have a few possible options.

1) I can bail on the 370Z and just get an R8 or GT3 for myself. Not cost effective, and I lose the fun of building a car.

2) Supercharge the Z

3) TT the Z

My question is this: Does a TT or SC 370Z stand a chance against those two cars (R8 or GT3)? My thought is that a nice SC kit making ~420whp would put me right in the R8/GT3 ballpark. I haven't found any 1/4 mile times for SC or TT 370s yet, but it looks like TT 350s can run low 11s (tricked out for drag racing).

So what would you do: R8, GT3, or spend comparatively less and make the 370Z a beast with SC/TT and supporting upgrades (cooler, clutch, airfoil, etc etc)?
