I will be pissed yet not surprised if this doesn't happen. I think the 350's are nice cars they are just underpowered stock, I pulled one hard from a 60 roll in my bolt on ta(LT1) I really thought they were quicker but they are nice.

No, no, the prices I mentioned include the car.
I found it though, its in the Jan '05 Sports Car International. "Dr. S and Mr. R". Page 66.
The S-Tune has revised springs, shocks, cat-back, and nice anti-roll bars. Its all on better tires. $42,651.
The R-Tune has headers, cams, intake, lightweight flywheel, adjustable LSD, funtional aero bits, and all the S-tune stuff. $48,264.
Basicly like all other cars, if you want to improve peformance, go outside factory programs.

I know a lot of dealers in the past have tried to sell the Z at that high price by putting Nismo parts on it and declaring it a "NISMO Edition", which is total BS. Dealer was just looking for ways to make more money.

That said, the 350Z has a really robust driveline. Plenty of guys running much much more power than stock through them. I think it will be the hot V8 swap in about 6 years. You could just make an adapter plate/clutch components for the stock tranny and bolt up a small block. Most swaps you have to do the tranny and driveshaft and rear diff too.

What car isn't overpriced these days. Since you guys haven't bought a new car (F-Bodies aren't made anymore) in a while maybe you haven't noticed that a Civic is $23,000. Sounds like my grandfather telling me his car cost $3,000 when it was new.

I don't see why these guys can't get the fact that our cars are superior stock for stock. I takes a modified 350Z to beat a dam STOCK C6. Modified 350Z will not beat the dam MODIFIED C6. The horsepower achieved in the C6, is the goals of the 350Z. Simply put, a monkey cannot beat a gorilla. Before I continue, I would like to say that I love the 350Z, BUT I am no dam fool. There is no way I could barely loose to this car, THAT IS POSSIBLY FASTER than my modified car and call him out in a dam race. A wet shot will shut his azz down in a heartbeat. I bet they will have a sob story if they got shut down by a Trailblazer SS. It's just funny to me...

Oh, I don't have any shots of my engine with TT but here's a pretty shot of my car to make you guys talk more 
I'm still at 5.5psi and about 320-330whp until my exhaust gets put back on. My car is being used for CARB certification out here in Cali.
