Ludger Quiocho loved the sound of the VQ engine, so when the opportunity to own a 350Z came up, it was impossible to pass on. Quiocho tells us he always liked the sleekness of the 350Z's body lines, and he felt that the interior was spacious enough for him, so he pulled the trigger. The car handles well and has enough power to have fun with in stock form, so we can only imagine what kind of fun it must be after being outfitted with the Vortech supercharger.
