My logic on motor swaps is they are a good idea on nice light cars that came with crappy powertrains, but have a decent chassis. The 350z is most definitely not that.
I can see why someone would like the idea of going from a 3.5L V6 to a 6.0L V8, but an RB?? That's like moving backwards. The VQ is an all around better powerplant than the RB. It's got more displacement (which leads to a much better powerband), and with some forged pistons and rods it will handle just about anything you can throw at it.
It's all subjective. LSx swaps don't impress me because people have been doing them in all sorts of cars for a while now. If you want to be "original", putting an LSx motor into something is not the way to go. I think it's pretty lame.
With that 138mph trap, that car has A LOT more E.T. in it. Hell, I've run 11.0@129mph in my Z and I only pulled a 1.68 on that pass. They get the 60' down into the 1.5s and they've got a low 10 second car.
What s2k are you referring to? LSx swapped I assume?
