Well, I'm not sure if an intake/exhaust would get me the changes I want. From what I understand, the Nissan 370Z is a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder. What's the best turbo/supercharger kit available + chip upgrade?

Another car that I'm considering is the Subaru BRZ. But I already have a 4-banger + turbo. Only thing that it gives me is that it is lightweight, and rear wheel drive. I know that in a straight, the 370Z will leave it in the dust.

When I go on the track, I prefer autocrossing. The 370Z has a lot more power, but with the curves and lack of straights on the autocross circuit, will the the power matter?

Thanks

If you're going the FI route I'd say just buy a faster car.

In that case, would I be better off with a BMW 135i?

I'd say so. Can make some very good power with even just a tune.

+1....... On top of that the BMW 1 Series looks like it has down's syndrome. The 1M is cleaner looking than the regular 1 Series.

how do u define faster?

in a straight line? yes a 135i will beat a 370.

on a track or some twisty back roads? no, they cant

370z = sports car
135i = sports coupe
