G37, Q60, 370Z are all the same platform. You can get that drivetrain today. The VR engine responds to tuning as well as my 2016 GTI did, as well as BMWs, turbo Fords, etc. Meaning for a few HUNDRED dollars you can get over 100WHP. This drivetrain that is coming ain't no locked-down Toyota drivetrain that ignores attempts to modify, the VR is responsive to mods. If you wanna see what the VR is capable of, go see the Q50 and Q60 forums, there's lot's of info there, and imagine those results minus several hundred pounds and with a 6MT. We are getting a good deal even though the FM platform is being reused. Could it be lighter? Yeah, but we may not see much improvement since the platform is being reused and gaining 5". Could the suspension be better? I dunno, I have a Q60 and the suspension geometry isn't the best and may continue that way on the same chassis. But, I clearly remember being at a Nissan dealer in 1995 and lusting after the 300ZX TT sitting in the showroom when I bought my first new car. That 300ZX was $55K IIRC. That'd be like $80K today. So, if Nissan sells us a new Z with the very responsive VR twin turbo for somewhere in the $40's we are getting an excellent deal. |
