What u guys think about that?

I don't think we will see that car in the states. But we may see its engine in the new s2000.

Why not add Twin Turbos on the 3.7 VQ engine? The vast majority of 370Z owners have been doing this since its introduction. Besides, if Nissan decides to put a German 2.0T, what will it be called? 200ZXT? Really, the Z started out with a 2.4 straight six and it was named 240Z. By putting in a 2.0T, that would be taking a lot of steps back. How will the Z owners and buyers think? I wouldn't get one personally. Even a 3.0 TT is not a good idea. Been there, done that with thr 300ZX twin turbo. I would like to see a 3.7 TT from the factory. Going with a 3.8 TT or bigger will go right into GTR category and it might kill the Godzilla's sales if a 3.7 TT or bigger becomes an option for the Z. My 2 cents.

4 post and you wanna flex your muscle as an internet thug. My bad, what I meant was the 3.7 vq engine is capable of handling TT.

With all due respect

! At least I support this forum and own a 370z.

A 3.7 TT and a 3.8 TT would almost be the same thing. I would almost bet everything I have ever loved that Nissan won't be doing that. A 3.0 turbo would be perfect in my opinion. The 300zx was an awesome car. But the vg30dett was also engineered in the late 80's. Take todays technology and engineering in a new turbo 3.0. Look at these 2-2.5 liter four bangers making 300hp. Put some real engineering in a 3.0 turbo and you could have a SOLID platform to build on for car enthusiast, and a good motor to please the average consumer. Make it a single turbo for simplicity and costs.

Just my .02cents, but I'd just build a nissan version of a lsx V8, making 400 has roughly in stock form and call it a day

....well that's what I'd want'

For the money to do a lsx swap, you mind as well turbo the current engine and get more. Or supercharger and still get more power. It would be cheaper.

I'm talking about if Nissan were to build the Z35, I would want Nissan to build their Own Version of a LSX, hence at least a V8, to come in the new Z, me personally am a little over a "big" 6 cyl....but that's just opinion, cheers'

VK45, Nissan's V8.

Better look at Corvette, Mustang, Camaro if you want raw "throw me back in the seat" torque with 12 sec 1/4's all day long. Or if you can afford it, go the Cayman/991 (3.4) route with 320 hp, mid engine, and high 12s via superior German engineering. The Z will lower its status as a "FR-S, Mustang V6/4-cyl-turbo, Miata" competitor....Nissan has dropped the baton. I will not look forward to the next Z.

Maybe the 4 cylinder version will compete with the frz and miata, but the 6 cylinder version shouldn't aim to compete in a lower category than the Z is in now.

We can only dream for a V8 though lol. It would surely knock my socks off if that happened

No it's obvious you know nothing about those cars. Then you go on to compare specs with a 4cyl? Good job. Lastly, I did read your comments, can you read? I said stock for stock it can't keep up. So obviously mod for mod it'd be the same.

This has moved beyond the original post. I don't even know what the original post was. I'm just referring to your blanket statement that they 'have no chance' It's people like you that give Z/G owners a bad image in the VQ community.

if that were the case of cylinder/size etc then there would be about 10 less pages of people comparing Z-engine to a mustang 5.0, the vettes, anything turbo'd, etc etc etc etc....

everyone will try to compare cars it's fine.

This is where you see the difference between a true car enthusiast (someone who can appreciate cars for their engineering) and a fan boy (someone who flogs only 1 brand and shuts down the rest).

feed the trolls though because it gives good entertainment value for everyone!
