I think the point is you can build a 500hp LS for under 5k...now we just need a bolt in swap for the 370z.

Damn it, sir! That comment, combined with your avatar, just caused me to snort coffee out my nose. It burns!!!!

:tiphat:

I am here to help.

That's what I'm talking about. But the motors are closer to 10kish, but still a bargain. When the Z34 is obsolete (the z35 is out), I'm sure there will be many swap kits. They're seamless too which makes them appealing.

Depends which way you go, 5.3 from a truck is cheap, a few parts and your at 500hp...If you want an LS out of a Camaro, or crate then yes 10Kish, but you can do it way cheaper.

i hate subway :/

But... you just described the majority of Nissan's passenger car lineup :stirthepot:

In all honesty this is pretty much what they do with the Mustang. Multiple engine choices, thousands of ways to personalize it etc.

I'm tellin' ya'

Corvette Z51 with eco boost ...

:facepalm::inoutroflpuke:

Go to subway and ask for some ice cream on a philly cheese steak. The two things are not made for each other to be interchanged. Sure you could do it but the result would be terrible.

i like firehouse subs better

Bingo! In a way Mustangs are like Harley-Davidsons; they're not that great stock, they're more common than dirt, but the huge aftermarket means that if you want a one-of-a-kind it's not hard to do.

I like Mustangs, not so much Harleys.;)

People whining about the performance (or lack of) of the Z car need to remind themselves what the Z was meant to be in the first place. It's sport, not muscle. Sure it outperformed Mustangs back in the 90s... because Ford's 5.0 and 4.6 were turds in stock trim, not because Nissan's V6 was so awesome. Now that the domestics have entered the 21st century (finally) the V8 is going to win every time against a naturally aspirated V6.

Also, I agree with whoever said that the rest of Nissan's lineup is lackluster. Aside from the 370 and the GTR they don't make anything I'd want.:shakes head:

terrible analogy tbh
