Retune the Z ecu to make 300hp/300lbs of torque from its NA position and allowing to integrate the in-house turbo to add 120hp to stock engine. The NA version of the Z will be as stated and the FI would be around 420hp/380lbtq weight would be around 3000-3100 for this car.

Or just make the 3.0tt a 375hp car. with the reduced weight in the 2800-2900k lb area for this one. Refining the 3.7 would cost alot more money unless??? they'd been secretly working on it. At least turbos reflect decade one of Z culture. v8's are to heavy and will make for clumsy cornering on a wheelbase shorter than 104 inches. I love the handling too much at 100.4 to lose it.
