Default Any outragous looking cars?

Hi folks,

The 350Z is certainly a beautiful car. I'd like to have one as an entertainment vehicle, and would like it to have pretty outrageous power to go along with the beautiful lines.

My let-down with turbo and super-charger systems is that they seemed to go through trouble to get everything tucked under the low hood. However, for a weekend toy, I'd rather pay less for the kit and just cut a hole in the hood or get a hood with a riser to give more room. In fact, a childhood lust is that blower on the Roadwarrior car, and I'd have no problem with a similar look on the 350Z.

So, anything out there I should know of?

Please do not cut a hole in the hood of your 350z for a blower. You can make power just fine without hood modifications, alright there Toretto?

Stillen SC and cut the hood for it instead for putting a Stillen hood on it. Simple and easy.

Here's an example of a tasteful "blower" / supercharger cut through on the Z hood.

WAT?

Out of all the FI kits made for these cars the weakest one (Stillen) is the only one that requires an ugly hood. Everything else fits. Please stop talking, and confirming to everyone you dont know $hit about fawk

Better to keep your mouth shut and have everyone assume you are a dumba$$ than to open it and remove all doubt. Kinda late for you now, but keep this in mind when going to your McDonald's interview later.

I understand the basics of FI, but ive never seen a car with the intake tucked in right under the exhaust. Anyone care to explain that for me?

Regarding the video of the white Z with the stillen supercharger.

Looks like a rear mount STS turbo.
