it's doubtful that you will find used 3.7, but I suppose it's possible - it's an OEM part and used in the Frontier, M (earlier yrs, I don't know about now), 07+ G sedan, and I think the G37 & 370Z - and probably more Nissans.
So if any of those cars/trucks switch FD, then I guess there is a chance of getting used... it's just not nearly as likely as finding 3.5 used.

If you want something in the 4s for 0-60 probably a vette is your best bang for the buck there, but you will give up some other things in the process.

High performance? Not exactly.
Edit* meant coupe, not car.

Nowhere close to being a sports car, the weight alone kills it.
As far as its price range, it has better 1/4 mile times, better 0-60 times, and better top ends then most. For a street car it has higher performance than most others in its price range.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a 4200lbs car != a sports car. The coupe is more of a Luxury Gran Touring car. Even my Twin-Turbo 3000GT VR-4 is a GT because it weighs 3800lbs. You deeeeefinitely have to spend at least $3,500+ alone in a few parts just to get down to the 12s in this car from what I take it. The car looks and handles great, but it's just far too heavy in stock form to be quick. I have grown out of the whole racing thing anyway and if I want to go fast, I'll hop on my bike.

You need to go FI to get into the 12s

$3500 maybe for a honda. But for the G, 350z, ur looking at a min. of 10k..
Turbo kits alone are $3500+, Then add tuning, labor and other misc parts.
- New exhaust
- AEM ems or Greddy e-manage
- Forged pistons / rods (JE)
- Gauges (Defi electronic gauges) > Vacuum gauges
- new oil pan (Moroso)
People say that can just use the stock motor and run 7psi. But that never happens. After a few weeks, they're going to want to increase the boost.
And end up spending a few thousand more to do it all over. So you might as well do it right the 1st time.
