"modability" of our n/a v6 won't compare hp/$ wise when looking at factory boosted cars or big v8's.
That said, for an n/a v6, I think our Z takes to bolt on mods quite well. Def better than the last gen Z.
As far as big builds, ie. FI, people are having no problem getting 450 to 550 whp out of these cars. Remember, our platform/motor is still relatively young and is a relatively small market compared to domestics like stangs and vettes so development times will ususally suffer.
As far as the evos and sti's go, to really build 500whp+ cars, you'd need to spend some $$ there, maybe not as much as for our Z, but it's not like you throw 2-3K at an STI and wind up with a 500whp car
afaik.
