If you want a 400+whp 370Z that's going to compete with a 'vette in the power department, you have a TON of work to do. The ENTIRE driveline has to be re-done. Not just the engine/power production aspect.

Not hating as I plan on trading for a '12 when they come out for various reasons discussed elsewhere, just observing, now that I own a 450whp car that was MADE to have 450whp. It's a totally different ballgame than some "tuner" car that suddenly has 150% the power it used to.
I think I have to disagree with you. You can get the traction control system, that will take care of the planting and all. My friends vette in all honesty doesn't really plant any better then mine does. He slides his *** out just as much as i can. Now maybe because he is modified but he has maybe like 75 more ponies to the wheel then me.
