But your basically asking what would be better
A stock 2jz swapped turbo brz build making 600+whp expected build $55k+
Vs a built engine turbo 370z making 600+whp expected $55k+
You seem to kind of know what your getting your self into, willing to spend the money, and don’t care about other car suggestions like why don’t you just get a vet or mustang etc..

Are you saying 55k+ for the car and the modifications or just modifications alone?
I've come from imports going back to my 97 GS-T as my first entrance into turbocharging and modifying cars back when I was in HS. All I've done is modify imports, so I'd rather stick with what I'm familiar with in regards to why I don't just go stang/C5orC6. Plus, there's always been a draw to the 86/BRZ platform and the 370Z having once briefly owned a 350Z back in 2011.
I'm looking for anyone who has had experience with swapping to the 2J to chime in as far as what it's like throwing it around a track and if they've had tons of issues or noticed that the feeling of balance has changed dramatically, a little, or not really much at all. I'd consider an LS swap if adding F/I to that down the road was going to be an option and not limited by engine bay space. I'm also hoping people with experience on the VQ platform can comment with their experiences as well, but I guess that may have been wishful thinking on my part. Looks like I may take to their forums for their XP regarding the TT + moderate build VQ.
