Someone posted the pic on FB under "poor Z..." and someone commented that it has the above done to it.

I'm not quick to call BS, because I don't know the guy, nor have I seen this Z around town.


...that being said, the decals almost looked shopped to me.

I have seen a couple twin turbo'd 370z's out here but have yet to see a supercharged one. Its very possible he has a sc, and vk56... although both are expensive. The cost of a Vk56 swap is around 10-15k, plus 3-6k for supercharger.

& with an N/A VK56 and the right mods, you are at around 750hp. Thats not including the supercharger which would be another 50-100 or so maybe

And then to spend all that money and keep the stock wheels with bald tires?
There wouldn't be any traction.

So my guess is stock, washer mod, and decals.

Here is a real VK56 Swapped 370z without a supercharger.

I just wanted to confirm and get facts straight before I called him out on his BS.

Which, I kind of did already, but in a vague way.
