Now if you go and buy a roller/single-cammer/project for $2k... you are driving a pile of shit for a VERY LONG TIME before you can match that stock 350Z.
Very few 240's are a turbo upgrade away from being cool. Many need lots of restoration and work. Thats money and down time. Changing out all those bushings, fixing rust, figuring out how to get A/C working again, chasing electrical issues, rebuilding blown JDM-yo motors.
From what I see, most people leave them stock actually. Most of the cool looking cars are actually still N/A KAs (they left no money for speed).
Daemon could have had 2 x Z33s for the cost of this guy...

You're preaching to the choir. My point is that I'd never say the 350Z > 240sx or vice versa because of all of the variables that should be considered. That decision should come down to: What are you looking for from this car & what is your budget?
Both are good, but there is point of receding returns that the Z hits before the S-chassis, IMO. But to beat a dead horse: S2000 turbo = better then both.
