If you have those bumper cut outs and 3" hoses running directly into the engine compartment where the filters are which will also be farily sectioned off from the rest of the engine by heat shielding, in theory, I imagine it could work pretty well. I'm not an engineer, but I bet someone here has tried it and has some results.
The carbon fiber CSL airbox for the E46 M3 sounds like heaven and it's also effective. I imagine with badass twin intakes for the naturally aspirated V6 in the 370Z would sound glorious as well.
If you ever look at the intake setups on GrandAm or ALMS cars they usually have very unique sectioned off boxes that have some form of drawing air directly from outside the car.
