If they FI'd the VQ37VHR, we'd be looking at a price point a bit higher...

Your pretty much talking about the VR38DETT. I'm not sure if the market is ready for a $50k-70k 380Z TT, but that would fill in the gap between the base Z and GT-R nicely. Pipe dream.

Or a least a SC, the SC from Stillen dealer installed is $8,000. Mass produced would not come to that much for each car.

I take a base with a factory SC anyday.

VQ37.

I won't be surprised to see Nissans next generation V6 go turbo.

I'd rather have a naturally aspirated motor in a 2 seat sports car.

optiontrader · 10-20-2010, 10:32 PM

^^^ with you on that one... the price on these Z's are perfect.

Rather sad huh!

If the Z had an engine with 2 less liters of displacement, it would probably be TT as well. The 370z doesn't need one...even the Z32 TT had only 300hp. It was obviously done so they could better regulate fuel economy, probably for upcoming CAFE standards.

Mag350Z · 10-21-2010, 10:58 AM

the difference is that in 1990 300 horsepower was insane, today 332 horsepower is nothing special

I've driven the Juke and let me tell you, It NEEDS that turbo! Even with the turbo, it probably couldn't break into the 14's on a good day.

Actually no it does not, it has a 'sport' mode which turns on the boost.
