Youre comparing the cheapest 370z with the most expensive MKV. A better argument is buying the $50k MKV and putting $5k of mods into it.Well, just playing devils advocate because the savings do make a difference . Im going to assume we are talking about choosing between a 370z or a New supra car for performance car driving, and not anythign else.
Lets Take a base model 6 speed manual, 370z @ 29k, which is 25k cheaper than the 54k Supra pro spec.
Now put that 25k saving back into a turbo or supercharger kit aiming for 500-600 hp, suspension and wheels, maybe a body kit if enough left over.
Now your comparing SAME money spent on each .... A decent modified manual 370z V OEM Factory auto Supra. The Supra still has some advantages, and staying stock would give it warranty..., but does all that work out to 25k worth of advantages? I dont know ... but If i had to take a bet, id know where id put the money.
It might seem unfair, but these are questions that many enthusiasts and tuners have to think about.
Being in the VQ37 community (currently own a 6mt G37), I can tell you no one is making that power reliably and the VQ37 will never have the powerband of the B58. Those 500hp 370z's are only making 400ft/lbs of torque, which is less than a B58 with a tune, and in a smaller powerband with gearing designed for a NA car.
