maybe this will help with the progress of either build. Looking at spending 50-65k out the door.

Everything i'm about to type is just me relaying it to the board not sure if there is very much validity to it until i meet them and hand them a check with some form of guarantee in hand

I have spoken withe a few rotary guys that will back a 600hp rotor but the engine cost alone is 25-30k.

now i know i can pick up an 09 Z and go to GTM or Z1 and put 25-30k in it and have a 700 HP monster - question is will that be similar in quickness with much higher reliability.

yes i understand that when there is that much work reliability is always a subjective term.
if you're gonna spend that much money on a Z, why don't you just put it into that '12 GT-R?

I'm just having trouble grasping the concept of having one of the quickest cars in the world and wanting to get the baby version and dump 30k into it.
