I'm just having trouble grasping the concept of having one of the quickest cars in the world and wanting to get the baby version and dump 30k into it.

Some prefer the idea of a RWD manual car when canyon carving or back road runs.
For the OP, honestly if you are doing an engine swap (2J/RB/LSx) I would consider the RX7 but I would not drop the money if you are not going that road. The 370z is a great platform to work with, but you are going to drop 25k on engine/upgrades and then you will need to do suspension, brakes and tires.

This.

Also bear in mind that the power levels you are talking are very much a stretch for the stock transmission, especially if you are talking high speed pulls.

4th and 5th struggle heavily if you spend a lot of time makin pulls there.
