Yea, FI is always an option, but I don't feel that, in today's world, we should have to drop 5k to bring the car up to where it should be (in my eyes).

I'd rather see a 3.0L TT from the factory with direct injection. It doesn't need to put out insane numbers, but it would be very nice for people who want to play with boost.

The VQ is a great engine, don't get me wrong, I just think that they need to head in a different direction rather than making incremental upgrades to the existing platform.

So you think a car that is $33k, a v6 and in the low 13 second quarters stock. Which is like 3/10ths or less behind the v8 competition. By nature should have been a 11.5/12.3 second car stock??? That's where it should've been???

Wow... I think you're expectations run higher than reality bruh?

No need to go off on him, man. It's reasonable to wish the car made more power out of the box. No big deal!

I'm not going off. But you gotta look at the engine of the car you bought before you criticize it. This is a 3.7L v6. Not a 5.0 or 6.2 litre v8. I drove so many cars before i bought the Z. some of those cars I test drove were a shytload faster. I chose the Z for other reasons.
I wish to a degree the Z were faster. But I don't think nissan installed a letdown amount of power either.
To act like Nissan should've put more power of the bat is unreasonable considering all the variables of what the Z is. And we have companies like GTM and Fast Intentions handling their business for us. Giving us loads of power and supercar track times. $10k is not a lot for the kind of power boost FI is giving.

Yes? My expectations aren't that high. Do you really think a DI TT 3.0 for approx 35k is "higher than reality"?

I guess the next Z is going to blow your mind when it bows with 30 more hp. Either that, or you're easily impressed.

Also: relax.

My response is to the factory power part. Not the future... I want the next Z to be FI for the same reasons you do. But I just don't feel this V6 is underpowered.

Why should I relax if I'm not yelling at you or anything. I'm not insulting or going off the wall... I'm just sayin.
