As for now, one turbo is good enough after seeing Boosted Performances kit on a 350z make almost 1000whp.

Im pretty sure the Nismo GTR would most likely smash it on a road course.
They come 600hp out the box

Not for $80,000 they don't.

And isn't that what all the GTR fanboys are always bragging about? "Yeah, your 458 Italia/Aventador/Enzo/Koenigsegg (insert any vastly superior car here) might look good but my GTR is just as fast for less than half the money..."

This is a Chevrolet that's actually worth owning, and it's an absolute beast. When's the last time that's happened?

For just about every car I've owned, I've joined some kind of online enthusiast forum. Without fail, on each one of these forums, you get responses like these. "Ya, it's the best all around car for the money, but it's still a Mustang, Camaro, Dodge, whatever derrrr..." This coming from Sentra or Civic owners, mind you.

Yea, you can boost the Z for less money. However, we all know there's a high risk factor that needs to be added to your calculations.

How the hell can you sneeze at a 625hp, track-ready monster? I don't know. I'd take it, though.
