How does Nissan puts a Turbo....

How does Nissan puts a Turbo on a sportcross the Juke and not on the 370Z?

I hate watching that commercial. WTF?

Definitely

I get mad every time I see that commercial...

because the Z32 was the best Z ever made. thus nissan did not want to infringe upon it's greatness.

I like the Z32 and had one.

But that is a pretty strong statement for all the Zs...especially when you are talking about the heritage of the Z.

I bet the owners starting with the 240Z, up to the 370Z will have different opinions then yours...

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!

Best Z ever made and they don't have their own fanboy forum?

Agreed the 300ZXTT was the best. I've had 5 Z's and its my favorite but the 370Z is a close second and behind that theres a gap. I've never had a 240Z though, and suspect I would like that one alot too. One day....

While both the Juke and Aztecs styling is considered polarizing, thats about where their similarities stop. The Aztec was known for being ugly and doing really nothing well, the Juke on the other hand seems to do a lot well(quick, great gas mileage,cheap, etc.).

Juke > Aztec

Same - Nissan put the turbo engine in the Juke since it's about the same as the engine in my wife's old del Sol that I supercharged (okay, except the Nissan powerplant's DI and DOHC).

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