Greddy Twin-Turbo In Development

Phimosis

I wonder if they read the forums? If they don't, maybe they should, to gauge interest in a product before doing the R&D.

They should read the thread about what 370z owners want for forced induction.

Based on members that visit this forum, and I think this is the largest 370z fan site, 75% of the of people want a supercharger.

Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't Greddy in bankruptcy protection?

Yeeaaaaahhhh... no firm is going to tell you they're hurting financially. If you buy that, then your stocks are going to plummet.

t-ray

I don't have any hard metrics to back this up - but I've followed the FM/VQ35 scene for about 5 years now, and the greddy kit easily had the majority of the forced induction market for the g35/350z.

I think the 370z is drawing a different target audience. I would have never bought a 350z. The 370z is lower, wider, shorter and has bigger tires, more power, more upscale interior, and is a higher priced fully optioned car yet more track oriented. The 370z is pulling Corvette buyers, Cayman buyers, 911 buyers, M3 buyers, RS4 buyers, GTR buyers. It's a different crowd. The polling numbers here suggest 75% want a supercharger kit to 25% that want a turbo kit.

Likewise, I am more impressed by a completely linear, tractable powerband from a SC kit that makes 400whp for 100k miles than I am by TT 611whp kit on a 94 octane tune that goes until it blows up. TT kits are fun to watch. Cool for someone else to own. But not for me. I don't have any Fast and Furious delusions that I am trying to live out.

I think it's great that 2 TT kits are on the market and a 3rd is coming. But, I'm trying to point out that from a simple economics standpoint that more money is to be made by the first company to get a SC kit to market and that more people should be putting their R&D dollars there.

As much as i hate to admit this, but Phimosis is correct and hit the nail on the head with that statement. As an owner of both a modded Viper GTS & 900HP single turbo MKIV Supra... there really isn't/wasn't any import sportscar out there out recently that was a blip on my jaded radar* But this new 370, address all the faults of the more refined second gen 350's with the HR motor, improves on everything else significantly, all while being lighter and having more of everything. It newer styling along with its refinement makes it a great buy and value at the price point i've seen local dealers selling it for. Very great value* It WILL be stealing a few porsche, vette and BMW buyers...

I'll second this as a current M3 owner now perusing a Z site...

I'm a great example of this...I liked the Cayman S (but it was out of range), and was in the market for a sports car. The Mustang GT500 was on my list as well - basically I was looking at 30K-55K. The Z came out...I saw the lines of the Cayman S in the car, and it's pricing starting at half as much. I can't imagine myself a Vette owner, or a BMW owner...

Modding it wasn't even in the picture, even when I bought it a few months ago - but, if a SC kit comes out, I may have to reconsider. It's a great debate between warranty coverage if something goes boom or, chasing that idea of having more power, or, leaving it all until my debts are paid off, which, including the Z, might be a couple years....which timing-wise, might be a good thing as all the kinks and bugs should be long gone by then and prices come down...lol...time will tell...lol

+ If I'm correct, Greddy doesn't make superchargers...
