My reason for asking the torsional rigidity is because I am curious how it compares to the Z06, since that is the power level I am shooting for with a TT kit if I go with the Z. Basically, will the structure of the 370Z handle 420-440whp soundly, reliably, and over 100K miles?

/\ at those powerr levels, I'd be more concerned w/the shorter wheelbase of the 370z as a limiting factor for car control/handling (vs. something like the zo6. From what I've read, which was just quoted in this thread, the 370z is world's improved over the 350z and is a very rigid car.
