And remember, the stock turbos are already maxed out on the RS400. I'm just very skeptical of Infiniti these days.


You see this all as a problem however I am being optimistic.

First off has anyone confirmed the at unit is the same mode and same specs as the 370z? I haven't asked anyone nor climbed in/under one yet.

Secondly even if the car itself is a gimmick that still doesn't mean that ams won't have a line of badass parts to bump up the cars for aftermarket. This is an awesome opportunity where ams will be playing with and developing parts on the car. It could be very good for the platform.
