The viper owner is my friend, and he says that he never stopped the 350z pulled that hard on him. The 350z has 518Whp & 516TQ, and it's stock internals, and it has 96k miles and it's going

TT and Widebody. I'd be alot more impressed if I saw a TT G35 with a widebody kit than I would if I saw a stock G37. I wouldn't look at the G37 if I saw the two side by side. The TT G35 with Widebody kit would grab all of my attention!!

I think you are sadly mistaken. Not all of us have a G because it was the most expensive car we can afford.

No it isn't!!!!!! Why bash the new 70k GT-R (it's faster than your Vette) if you are going to rave about the Vette and Viper? Gay!!!!

Before you go TT, think about some of the other factors involved. I'm not going to be your mom here, but it's always good to do considerable research before finalizing yours plans. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the process, so this is just an open discussion. Going the FI route, especially when you're talking about a turbo, involves a number of "hidden" costs, both in time and money. I say hidden because many of these things aren't something you may expect unless you speak with someone who has gone this route him/herself. Cash-wise, you aren't purchasing just the turbocharger. Depending on what kind of results you want out of the car, you may need to completely replace the clutch, key parts (or all) of the transmission, brakes, and a number of other things. Add in gauges, turbo timer, tuning the car, and a number of other miscellaneous doo-dads that you'll likely pick up on the way and factor in install cost (which is considerable) and time (you'll likely need to wait in line for a few weeks up to a few months at a reputable shop + another month[s] for the install itself). Don't be surprised to be spending $15k+ easily. As many people like to point out here, this isn't a Honda; a general rule of thumb is that the more expensive the car, the much more exorbitantly expensive the upgrades. You will need to line up another car or ride in the downtime that you can't drive your own. One last thing to consider is that it will be considerably more challenging to sell the car as many people are averse to buying heavily modded cars (rightly so) due to increased strain on the engine and the fact there is no way in hell anyone driving a TT is babying that sucker (despite what they may say). Also, these parts don't increase the value of the car at a dealership (I suppose it's arguable as to whether they decrease it or not, but that's another story). Lastly, you'll need to be relatively careful with how you drive and not blow the engine. That's kind of a given but from what you hear from some people on this forum, it can happen.

Again, much of the above will depend on how you approach it. A smaller turbo will require fewer structural upgrades to the rest of the vehicle. If you stop modding here, you won't need additional tunes that would be reserved for optimizing the car if you otherwise upgraded other components. Some people go the cheap route and, although I don't recommend this, skimp on installing better brakes.

I'm not writing all this to say that going TT is a bad choice, although the tone of my message may imply that. You WILL have a great time with your ride at the very end regardless. I just like to weigh all the factors, good and bad, before making a final decision. I hope this helped yours.
