Even when they do, the car isn't the same.

Case in point: I owned a Mazdaspeed 6 before my Z. It was essentially a Mazda 6 with a turbo motor shoe-horned in with a new AWD transmission/transfercase unit and an RX-8 rear end. To do this, Mazda had to change the front fenders, A-pillars, hood, floor pan, seats, chassis bracing, the entire engine bay, and most of the interior to compensate. So a lot of parts weren't cross-compatible with the FWD Mazda 6 I4 and V6. Mazda ransacked the parts bin to do the model, but a lot of parts were single use to the Mazdaspeed 6.

Whatever guys. It won't outhandle a BRZ no matter what engine it has.

It's what makes business sense with Nissan. Should they dump a bunch of money modifying the Z34 chassis to fit the VR when the Z35 is just around the corner? The Z is already fairly low volume, so they are not going to recoup the engineering costs to make a few people happy.

Wishful thinking... I can't disagree having a factory twin turbo Z. Loving boost!

New VR engine in same 370z body for 2017?

Production has begun

if you read the link it also says 'exclusive to the infiniti line' sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo



IBTL

...for now.

I mean the 3.7 was exclusive to infiniti... for a year :tiphat:

No more VVEL? What sounded like great tech, but probably added complexity and cost. Maybe, just maybe this is the reason for the increased throttle lag since the DE/HR had snappy throttle response.
