I'm not sure how the Z lacks power potential. Because there's not a whole lot to be added with NA mods? That just means that Nissan did a good job optimizing the motor they gave us. They didn't leave a lot on the table for the aftermarket. Plus, if you want to talk about potential, there is the fact that the motor has handled north of 500 whp without issue.
My concern is not how many they have sold. I simply stated I wish. What good optimizing of the motor is what many other vehicles that chevy and ford provide us with that allow us to gain superior amounts of power on both a turboed or naturally aspirated motor. That is LEGIT. TT 500whp on the 370z is nice. That's what naturally aspirated motors run with chevy and Ford....meh. Turbo them AND FORGET IT. I still give the 370z the looks department over a camaro and ford. Just dissappointed in the potential of the car before going extreme with money. Like I saI'd before. The gtr is a beast. The looks are okay. Nice looking car either way. Ill repeat myself omve more. I WISH nissan gave us more options. And call me crazy because ill prolly be having to sacrificing the gorgoues look of the z with a GTR just to get its potential. Sucks.
