The supercharged 350Z GT-S concept goes from the standard 296 hp to an impressive 380 hp, and gets an uprated suspension and brakes to go with the extra power.
296?????

Interesting... can you say roots blower? (much like the stillen kit)
I'm interested in seeing what other mods there are to support this.
What surprises me the most is that they'd offer a supercharged 350z so close to the release of the GTR.

WTF Nissan might actually make limited production models of these concepts. Thats ****ing awesome. 
about damn time they start coming out again with forced induction factory cars. Now if only Nismo starts to offer a similar package for the United States.

The real question is what internal motor mods were made on this SC VQ and could it be bolted on to our existing Z's without modding the internals????

It drives me off the Fuking wall when people say this...the GTR will sell no matter what kind of a high powered Z nissan has out on the lot at the time. The GTR will be a low volume car and it will come with a waiting list.Nissan will have no problem selling this car and Nissan knows this

even at 380hp it would a hard sell at 50k... I think i could stomach $10k over a equally optioned NA Z but I fear this car will be 45-55 if it ever comes out.

UK are RHD like Aus so this supercharger kit should be interesting
since its a concept i highly doubt Nissan would spend the money engineering and developing their own supercharger kit, theyd just outsource it to a UK company - which means that company will eventually offer the kit to the public
this wouldnt be a Nissan Japan power-up, it wouldnt make its way out of UK

Just because there may be a supercharged Z doesn't mean ALL Z's that come out of the factory in the future will be supercharged, because FI costs more to make. If Nissan makes this Z, it would be sweet, but there will likely be N/A versions aswell, so the 3.7L engine is still a great possibility. It would be awesome if that N/A engine gets an 8K redline though.

3.7 is definately a possibility.. I dont think it will be until at least 2009 IMO
