Its all perspective to your income. Those of us in here are fairly close in income thus it works for us. But best bang for the buck would be something like which car gives the most HP/ TQ/ performance/ handling/ style/ quality/ even functionality etc per dollar. And Im not sure what car that is.

Exactly.

Bang for the buck means completely different things to different people. My coworker thinks his 100 more hp and torque means the Camaro is better bang for the buck. /shrug

1.) 400 hp is very realistic and they could do it at almost no cost (i did it with different intake, exhaust and reflash, pully etc)
2.) increase cooling ability
3.) make sure sport pkg and nismo have track worthy brakes
4.) could use 30lbs of sound deading in back and lose 75lbs in front to improve weight dist.
5.) paint could be more chip resistant, I added clear bra
I love this car and it rides and handles SOOOO nice , I have 21000 miles and loving it. I feel they could make these changes for less than $500 their cost if they wanted to.

But with nothing more than a slight HP boost, the 370Z will take the camaro in all performance catagories. It will already out-handle, out break, out corner, etc. As far as where to improve the 370Z, adding a bit of power is the best way for nissan to leverage the rest of the car's stunning performance. I agree about different cost catagories (for instance, the vette is probably the best bang for the buck performancewise if you step up to the 50K range), but the Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger are already in the same price area. If you can match their straight line speed and dominate in all other catagories, you get to win every internet argument with their owners!
