No I wouldn't. If had that kind of cash I would buy a real performance car and run circles around the turboed 350Z bone stock with a warranty.

 

LMAO!

 

The 350Z is great, but this kit dosent offer a lot of BANG for the dollar.....

 

Drop the extra coin and z06 for me!

 

No, it's not the most cost-effective solution. But if I'm reading it right, 6k for the total package, not just the engine work, it's not terrible. Plus, it comes with brake upgrades and whatnot, so you wouldn't have to go for the top of the line track model, it would work just as well on the ~28 enthusiast or whatever they call the lowest model that comes with lsd.

If you're just talking straight line, no, the 350z isn't going to compare with an ls1 camaro, lower purchase price and more power gain similar money in mods. But looking at those numbers, a custom turbo setup that would probably be more like a 1/3 the cost could conceivably have it into the low 12's or even high 11's on dr's and at a real track. Most of those magazines usually just test the acceleration on a straight section of whatever track they're testing on, they don't take it to an actual prepped 1/4 mile. Running higher boost, with more traction, with a good grippy surface equals a much better time. Low 12's would be good enough to take out quite a few v8's on this site.

 

Also the 350Z's cornering balance is really up with the best in the world.. I dont see stock LS1's and LT1's really holding their own on road racing circuts vs the 350Z

 

Right those 1le Z28s and SVT Mustang Cobras are only able to coner about as well as your average brick trucks. Not like they are certified to compete in the showroom stock classes or anything like that.

 

that would be pretty damn tight, save some weight and have alot of aftermarket parts but i know you can make way bigger numbers out of a 3.5L motor for sure.

 

True. Anyone who wants a demonstration or wants their brain to drizzle out of their ear in a big heavy domestic Cobra convertable, let me know. Anything (especially a Mustang) with decent aftermarket support can be made to handle. Hell, some don't even have to be modified...look at the Z06 and Cobra R. Both are very potent machines in the hands of skilled drivers.
