Do you have a link with a dyno/more info for that? I've been trying to gather as much info as possible on what the EJ20 is capable of and what its limits appear to be.

Of course I'd love to see a powerful motor in this thing but I wouldn't be disappointed with a great handling car that may not go as fast in the 1/4 mile.

I only mention that because the 370Z seems to be prettly well liked for it's handling, despite being a bit on the heavy side -- all the reviews put the 370 head and shoulders abouve the 350.
