i think he is just having a little fun, and stirring the pot. if i had to pick 3 z's i'd take the 240, the 90'z 300zx and the 370z.

anyway, if they turbo the Z it would cost a fair amount more and it would infringe upon the performance of the GTR. notwithstanding, i'd totally get one. but it opens up a whole can of worms. its not just the turbo that would make the car more expensive. its all of the beefed up components necessary just to be able to handle the boost.

You can't just throw a turbo charged and significantly more powerful engine in a Z and not dramatically upgrade the handling if selling it as a stock vehicle. Would you spend $60k+ on a TT 370 or just make the jump to a GTR? I know what I would do...

I'd rather have 60k TT Z. Poorly designed AWD system, auto trans, etc, don't exactly make my mouth water...

What are you talking about: JUKE has amazing AWD and CVT!
