Angry A drive train investigation

I am in germany with nothing to do, so I bought another Z... still did not help the problem, so I am thinking about moving the drive train into the american Z. My thoughts are that the european one is made for insane speed, *cough* autobauhn *cough* where as the american Z drivetrains made for night racing, or traffic light tag if you will. Does anyone know if it would be worth it?

Oh yea, where can a guy mail order stuff for this car, because I am not going to buy another Z for parts, 2 is enough, I think?

What's the diff between Euro & US version drivetrains? (other than possible gear ratio)

VERY little! And gear ratios are the same. Although the Euro specs did come with ABS.
