Looks like the 2015 Z wont be getting a turbo after all???

I was thinking. It seems like the formula that lots would like to see is one where the Z keeps it's Porsche chasing heritage, with a good value price point.

Hopefully that can be achieved. I wouldn't like to see the Z homogenized for more mainstream appeal and end up a castrated rwd (like frs).

2014 will bring the Porsche Cayman S, a turbocharged 2.5ltr flat-4 that is supposed to produce 350 horses on tap and still achieve 30mpg highway. 2014 cayman definately eclipses our Z's in styling and is the first car under $70k I think is better looking than the Z. The current cayman is ugly compared to our cars.
That said, if nissan rivals the porsche in 2015 and sadly goes to 4 cylinders? I'm going to guess we will again eclipse it in power while rivaling it in performance with a 2.7ltr, i-4 twin turbo giving 380hp.?????,

The 270zx???

Oh well??? I still rather it stay a smaller 6 with turbos.
