If you have the money anything can be fast. It's much cheaper to go fast in an STi or an EVO. That's the bottom line. You can build a Z as big as any EVO or STi. At some point you will also need a build on the Sti and Evo. So past a given HP point it all costs the same. 600 hp an EVo or an STi hands down. 600 and up. Take your pick... it all costs the same after the engine build.
BTW.... just curious but have you ever driven a car with even 450whp?

^ I am with your last comment. So many people get spun up about big numbers and do not purpose build a car. My best advice is decide what you want to do with the car. If you are building a street car to be honest 900whp is insane. When you read those magazines and they say 900whp street car, most people do not realize the owner reduce boost levels on the street and the majority of the time the car is not even their daily driver.

Someone else touched on this...The car's in the mags with 900whp may make that much power but much of it is not really useable. A lot of money can get you to 900whp but even then like most of the supra's up in that hp range the cars tend to become dyno queens. One big @ss turbo pushing a lot of boost which is impressive on the dyno but on the street/track it doesn't live up to it's expectation.

Is it just me???? I think that the vq35 has a ton of potential but for some reason no one with the know how seems to be able to get their car into a magazine. hell, try google and type in 1000hp z or any combination above 500 and almost nothing comes up. I have talked to shops that all claim to have built daily driver 800hp 350z's but none of these shops have pictures of them. someone help me out here. lets see some Z's with some real power. i am starting to wander if the vq35 can even handle the power. i figure if it could then there would be lots of them in the magazines. where are they?
lol.. when i went to forged to get my car tuned.. i saw a 350 Zr with 724 horsepower. i also saw one with 624.. That 1200hp supra may have 1200hp, but did you check the torque? how about the dyno curve? Have you done any other research? doesn't sound like it! sounds like you are a dyno queen, or at least praise them.

2 answer ur many questions, the supras 2jz has been around 4 a decade and a half, as stated earlier, the 4g63 evo motor, about the same, the vq has been around 4 about 10 years, however the vq35, a variant of the vq, aka our motor has only been around since the arrival of the 350z, there still playing w/ ways to get more and more hp out of them, i think the the fastest n/a z has about 315whp. for big power outta a vq, u need a form of boost, just like a supra, or an evo, or a civic, take the snails outta those cars, and there nothing. if an evo didnt hav a turbo, itd hav 200hp, and b slow. z's hav low end torque, evo's dont.

the whole point is not if it is streetable, just why aren't there any in the magazines?? not how practical are they, why aren't there any in any of the pubications. that is why i am asking where are they. a few of my buddies with 350z's were wandering the same thing.
those are some awesome videos

The EVO and STi's are 4 cylinders.... and who cares. They are turbocharged. I saw a 4 cylinder once making 1800 hp.

Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

Its kind of interesting from a WOW perspective, but thats about it. So what does a 1,600 horsepower 350Z in a magizine mean to me? Jack. Money equals horsepower. You can go as fast as you can afford to go.
So lets bring this conversation down to planet earth. If you have the bucks for forced-induction, the read and study the forced-induction forum. If you have the money for 400, 500 or 600 horsepower, then do it.
