Is that the best you can do after getting owned for your ignorant brain droppings and getting called out for your gratuitous pissing on someone that has a 370Z?

Seriously... Go back to the OT lounge. Cuz you suck at posting anything worthy or correct in any of the forum sections about the Z or G. You don't have the ***** to post this kinda crap in the FI section cuz you know you'll get smacked down in a heartbeat.

The only thing that may not be so common is a manufacturer producing a supercharger kit for a factory turbo'd vehicle, but then again why would they? Not that many people would purchase it.

Good point. I think lots of folks would be interested in seeing the return of a factory FI version of the Z, especially with a TT version of the VQ37VHR or the VR38 motor from the GT-R. That is wishful thinking though IMO.

However, with regards to the Motortrend article in the OP and some of the comments in this thread about a smaller displacement turbocharged engine... I'm not sure a decrease in displacement below 3.5L or 3.7L will be as appealing to the current FI enthusiasts in the Z/G community. I think many guys would prefer to have a 500whp stock block VQ37VHR with aftermarket FI instead of factory FI with a significantly smaller motor(3.0L or less) making ~400 crank hp.

True... But then again the 300ZX tt had a tt..The 350z didnt.. That in itself pretty much proves that a 370Z TT is going to cost more than a base 370. Which was my main point
