Could the 350Z be a good contender for rallying?
Here in Canda, no, the engine is too big for it to be eligible.

In the US it could run Production GT class for vehicles with an adjusted displacement of over 2650cc, including some AWD vehicles. I have heard of a late model Mustang running in this class, so anything is possible.

As for competing against those Subarus, not having AWD is a big disadvantage on loose or icy surfaces. If someone wanted to invest the time and money, they could develop an AWD 350ZX hybrid with another Nissan AWD drivetrain and run in Open class.

What we really need is for Nissan to make an updated successor to the GTi-R and go kick some butt.
