Beach front property sounds really nice right now, Washington is a little cloudy and wet.

IMHO I would say an almost endless amount of money , patient's and a little stupidity/crazy . 10k to go fast for a very limited time is well not worth it for most people .The car has its own faults already (over heating , icemode ,fuel starvation, VVEL ) for track use thats why no one tracks a FI 370z . but if you want her to drag or just limited spirited driving then go for it . Other wise there are better platforms out there . big V8 , evo, sti etc .

I wouldn't count VVEL as a fault at all. As far as the other issues that people are seeing with serious track use, they have documented workarounds and some can be mitigated/eliminated.

For the OP:

Whatever you decide to do, take a moment to plan it out AND plan for failure. That way you can get back to normal without much downtime.

Well i really meant vvel isn't (cracked ) but i wouldn't count vvel as a bonus either ,It does cause the motor to run HOT ( yes ,oil cooler ) and for FI I would suggest a new radiator . i just wanted to say for someone who wished to mod their car and do some parttime track time I would not tell them to buy a 370z IMHO . IF you want a street rod with minor track use then its fine or more track time means no FI .Thats pretty clear from most peoples experiences not all but most . I think when you read about the Z and see all the TT/SC out there you make think that there are a lot of TT/sc ' Z's tracking and racing with little or no issues (and that is not true ) its alot more black and white than alot of other platforms

True. If I ever let my NISMO go (and that will probably be never), I am looking to get my hands on a Ferarri F360 Challenge or 458 Italia (not a fan of the F430). I hope to be reassigned to Italy, so I'm looking to get either a R34 GT-T/GT-R or F360 Challenge (Twin SCs make that car a beast)
