how about just throw a single turbo and no tuning for close to 400hp. Or maybe throw a twin turbo AND tune it for 750+rwhp

There have been a couple vk's shoehorned into the z but like someone else has said the cost of the car makes it something thats out of reach for alot of people to do. Give it a couple years and you will probably see it more often.

you can do anything as long as you have the money!

the only reason i can think off on why shouldnt should stuff a v8 in a z is to the wow factor!

your z will be diff and its kinda cool to do something like that do a car( change it so much)

but a good turbo kit with a upgraded engine can give you good amount of power.... so i dont see why i would change engine like that....
