Exactly what is the definition of "fried"?

It's possible that the diagnostic unit is seeing "scrambled" data and assuming that the unit is "fried". If the techs know that you scrambled the data, they may be able to reflash the unit. Maybe not.

Maybe the techs at your dealership are not very knowledgeable about ECMs and/or 370Zs. Maybe not. Try finding a dealership that may have more experience with ECMs. At this point, it's worth a try.

Maybe your ECM is fried beyond repair. Still not a good reason to so easily dismiss MJB's comment.
