Nissan 370Z Forum  

would it be wrong to sell my Z and get a Viper race car?

Turbo/SC would just end up being a PITA.

The biggest issue is cooling. I can barely cool a NA Z, cooling a FI track car would be a huge under taking. Travis is trying it out so we see how that goes.

Definitely. Unless you have constant access to a nearby track to test cooling you're just going to end up being frustrated as you run into new issues at track days that you really can't fix on the spot.

If you have the pockets, time, and desire to do a ton of your own R&D, then that's fine, but I think it would just become a total PITA if all you really wanted was a reliable and fun track machine. If you have the itch for more power it's much easier to just move up to a platform that was built for it from the factory.
