for the price of a 350z you could make a civic that will outstrip it in every aspect (and the price includes the price of the civic)

but would u rather drive a heavily modified honda with basic cloth seats and interior or a nice sporty leather seated navigation v6 350z w/ nice curb presence? IMO the 350 is better...just me

The 350z is not all it's cracked up to be IMO

No I mean even with a greddy TT kit they are only making around 400whp which is a joke and is also about all the VQ35 can handle without ripping it apart. With it being an aluminum block and the all around bore x stroke it is a nice NA engine but it was never ment to be turbo'd at all.

I agree with Marty, especially if you plan boost. And Im sorry to say but there are so many different cost associated with these swaps. I dont think you're thinking realistically here. I make almost $72k a year, how much do you make to have such a Hollywood Xmas list?
