Nissan Juke, the beginning of the return of Turbocharged Z's?

gorillanismo · 11-15-2010, 10:03 AM

I think that a hybrid car its not a pure sports car, maybe you can have a great chassis design but the heart of the car, the soul, its not of a true sports car...

Diesel, meh, too much torque to me, I like high rev cars better...

the best for the Z is:
1) small V6 DI TT ecoboost
2) small V8 high rev gasoline engine
3) bigger V6 high rev gasoline engine

thats my opinion...

Personally, I hope the keep the Z NA...turbos and superchargers are an easy way to add HP but "easy" seldom if ever truly means "better". I think it accurate to say that any sort of forced induction adds complexity which also adds cost to both manufacturing AND to maintenance (i.e. the total cost of ownership).

If folks want a turbo or supercharged on the vehicles then I would suggest leaving that in the hands of the aftermarket.

Just my $0.02 of course.
