Default 350z comes turbo'ed!

sooo went in with my buddy for a test drive yesterday, and as the guy was walking us out to the car he started talking about the z.

one of the first things he said was "ya the car got a 3.5 liter turbocharged v-6".

me and my buddy kinda looked at each other and snickered.

then my friend asked him "oh really? we didn't know that, how many pounds of boost is it running?"

and he goes "uhhh huh? how many foot pounds of torque?, ya its got 270"

and i say "no no, how much boost do they come with? i thought they weren't turbo'ed"

he said "i don't know that one, but i can check for you. then he says its turbo'ed cuz even though its using the same engine as the Infiniti g35, it makes a lot more power."

umm..... is this guy retarded?

after the test drive he opened the hood for us to see. After he told us about it being on Ward's top 10 engines for 13 years (at least he got something right), i was tempted to ask him to show me where the turbo was... but i just drove the car so i was too happy to stick his face in his own ****.


oh ya, as we were walking away from the car, he couldn't help himself and told us the car came with halogen lights.

nissan dealers for the win!

haha must be the same guy.

it was a guy called yoshi from mossy nissan in houston. i originally went in to see a guy called kirk because someone in the texas forum recommended him. but kirk was busy at the time so this guy swooped in trying to steal a sell.

sorry bud, learn your products before you sell them.

anyone in houston looking to buy a new Z stay away from him. OR make sure to go to him and ask him to point out that turbo for me

He has added plenty of aftermarket exhaust and turbos to give it some extra punch.
