370z vs Wrx Sti

Not combative at all. This info is very helpful for all of us and you for sure know a lot more then I do since you have done it LOL. The local shop in my area will do a STG 1 GTM installed with an OS Giken clutch/flywheel, 25 row oil cooler, Tune for around $15k. Exhaust will be more of course. I know that's STG 1 and I'm not getting into the full build of the motor but that's good for 450-500 wheel.

And that's where he should stop. Past that point the $/hp curve gets wacky.

Your local shop isn't too bad on the cost, but you'll still need another $5k of other stuff. 3" downpipes, exhaust, radiator, etc. You only want to do this once. The real bastard about this is, the numbers look daunting and hard to swallow, but it's soooo worth it.

FYI, If you're thinking about TTing a Z, keep some funds in reserve in case something goes bang. It would suck for someone to be making payments on a car that doesn't run.
