Former Z Owner's Rant about the 370z

Cmike2780

I think the gripe is the amount of money you need to throw in for mods to see huge gains. I totally see your point, $1200 or more for an exhaust and seeing only 10hp-18hp can be a bit disappointing. I look at it this way though, the guys in the M3, Cayman, etc are probably shelling out a ton more $$$$ for mods. It's just the nature of most N/A cars that have been pretty much pushed near the limits out of the box. To be fair, the guys in the M3, Cayman etc, already 'paid' for the 'Street King' title when they bought the car. Cost wise, a TT 370z probably still comes out less expensive than an M3 or Cayman and will probably be faster. IMO the only way a N/A 370 is going to get over the 350hp mark(@ the wheels) is if they go with direct injection or crack the VVEL. Niether of which is happening anytime soon. You have it right though, and it really depends on how much money you want to spend and what you really use or want the car to be.
