Not yet, but it may happen. At this point, mainly out of courtesy for Vortech and because it has not been officially green lighted. Once the car is down there for a few weeks I will know a lot more of the technical aspects and weather or not they are going to continue development. They are excited about the car and see the potential the 370z has.

Well, Nissan sold 200,000 350Zs (and still counting since the 2009 Vert is a 350Z) and a heck of alot of those are modded, so I can't really understand why this is a no-brainer for Vortech.

It's not like this is a car that people aren't modding.

Worst case scenario is that Nissan discountinues the 370Z after only one or two years, but that obviously won't happen.

If Vortech really gets on the ball, they can be the first company to get a supercharger kit on the market. Jeez, the car has been out for six months already.

I agree, at any other point in time they probably wouldn't hesitate one bit, but because the automotive industry has been so adversely affected by our economy right now, they are just proceeding cautiously. A lot of aftermarket companies sales are down right now, especially on the big ticket items. I'm sure we can convince them they must build this kit at all cost. LOL
