I know you may be joking. But I had a friend with a 350z that was salvaged from a flood and it's built for track use with BBK, exhaust intake and tune. But he had small electrical issues, that would end up costing him quite a bit to finally get sorted out, it's a fun car to drive when it works. When it rains the stereo loses power or the car stalls it's hilarious, and at night even after replacing the entire headlight assembly the exterior lights and dash clusters will cut in and out. All of it was tied back to an ecu and wiring harness needing to be replaced which was quite expensive to get replaced, almost $3000. After that it drove like new, however it occasionally smells a bit musty and although most of the interior is new there are areas underneath the carpeting that could use an alcohol bath which is what he's doing and dynamat placement, also parts of the car rattle and squeak more than the FR-S because it's needed to be taken apart so much.
Bottom line, it's only worth it if it's not your daily driver
