I've read that the next Z will have an upgraded limited slip (apparently the current one is basically crap) come stock with oil cooler and possibly a new motor supplied by Mercedes. Supposedly it will have a lot more torque and be more refined vs. the max-out /trashy VQ.

Who is giving you any of this information?

Try reading more often. I can't pin point exactly where I've read about the topic because I read so much but if you try doing a bit of research I'm al most certain you'll run into it. If I recall I’ll post the source but it really shouldn’t be so hard to believe regardless. The VQ is pretty unrefined / low on torque, the limited slip is sub par and there are issues with the oil over heating, etc. It might be a tough pill for you to swallow but the facts are the facts. Lastly, if you don't think the VQ could use some work try driving a few other cars. But don't drive a new Boxter / Cayman S because you'll walk away really depressed. I'm not saying it's a POS or anything but being in denial doesn't help improve anything. You live and learn.

No, I am talking about the quote in bold.
You have zero information on any of this, the reason I know so is because I read more of this BS information everyday than I care to.

On the note of the high oil, LSD, etc. Well...duh, everyone on here knows that, but the fact remains that it is "good enough" for street use. You want to track this car or start throwing on forced induction, of course you are going to need to upgrade those components, you will have on any car in the 30k price range.

For one I answered your question, don't play dumb.

Second, a sub par limited slip, oil cooling, brakes, etc are things that could use work and not every 30-40k car requires this for track use.

It's obvious you're in massive denial.

Really? Is that why I tell people they should get an oil cooler, upgrade brakes, etc. if hitting the track? I am not in the denial at all, I know those parts on this car would use some TLC from factory to compete with more heavy hitters.

Second, you did not answer my question, I said nothing about oil cooler, LSD, etc. I asked about where you got your information on the Mercedes engine, upgrades to the car (oil cooler standard), etc. You jumped past these points and went on your own tangent of how "sub-par" these parts are without providing a shred of valid evidence to my direct question.

Okay brain child! You obviously have a huge problem with reading comprehension! Do yourself a favor and get someone who can read explain to you exactly what I posted.

Wow, you now are moving onto insults since your lack of information has been peeled back and shown to be nothing more than a rotten apple with a shiny cover. All you have to do is provide a little bit of information, 5 minutes of your day and you can prove yourself right, but it becomes very hard to do that when the information you seek does not exist.
