Partially because it does, partially because the first swap is always the most expensive. It makes literally no sense to spend 20 grand or so swapping something different into a Z, when you could just get a different car instead.

The 370 is not a special car in a pretty much any way. People buy them because they're new and have a warranty. If I want to swap an engine into something, I'd buy something lighter.
