The next gen Z!

A Z with in 4 Cylinder is not a Z. The Z has been a 6 Cylinder forever. The 6 Cylinder is part if the Z heritage just as the three gauge cluster.

While VVEL dose a good job, I Feel it is holding back the Tq. Don't get me wrong. The Tq comes on strong and Fast and stays, but it nothing like my old 2006. My 2006 N/a had more Tq then my 2011. My 2006 did not carry the Tq throughout the Pw band like my 2011, but peek numbers where better.
I would like to see a 3.7 TT /w Direct injection @ 500Hp and a lighter weight in the next Gen Z.

dropping to a 4 cyl would be a slap in the face to the Z name. the whole car is based on tradition/heritage of the original as you can see up til now 40 some years down the line.

a factory boosted 6cyl is what needs to happen. i mean they got a turbo on a juke and they cant fit a Z with a couple?

A 4-cyl (or even an 8-cyl), might be a performance improvement, but it just ain't a Z.

I don't know about everybody else, but my daily driver seldom sees WOT anyway. When it does, I'm quite happy with what I get. YMMV

Turbo 4 -> Silvia/2x0SX.

The Z car will go 4 pot when the Vette drops its V8.

I'm still sad it doesn't have a strait 6
