i read somewhere that its gnna have a v6 turbo option. i think.. oh well it better!.. that or atleast a TT

Dudes,
Stop asking for so much. If there were a 350Z TT, its price will be like around $50K, but horsepower will be awesome though (should be around 450hp). Personally, I'm satisfied with the soon-to-come-out version. I ordered it a while ago.
Touring w/ 6-sp: side airbags; aero pkg; and DVD Nav.

:badass: :rocket: :flamer:

Hopefully, a body kit will be available soon... something like this:

This is what I would do (if I had time). The side badge & door handles look out of place on a car so smooth... so off they come. The rear wheel fender needs more "beef", so that has been flared out & the rim offset increased. Perfecto! (The interior is perfect, so I would leave it alone.)

"Over & Out" for real this time...

That pic looks pretty good. Are the fender-wells in that pic really "beefed up" or are they stock? Stock fender-wells do flare out pretty good already. Anyway, the huge and square stock intake opening doesn't look very nice, but it rams air in much more than smaller ones in this picture. Instead of having black plastic, replace it with aluminum mesh grille and it'll look good. The square intake opening is taken from the Skyline GTR.
Anyway, I don't see anything wrong with the tiny things such as the side badge and door handles. They don't look out of place to me, but that's my opinion.

I like the square front air dam!!! Imagine it when I place a dazzeling crome Trust 4 core intercooler into it to keep my twin Garret turbines nice an cool.... OMFG it will be nice then....

Yep, give me the twin turbo!

BTW, Nice Fairlady Z you have there.

Neutrino · 05-11-2002, 07:33 AM

There will not be a turbo option or at least I don't think so because the upgrade from the 350z will be the new skyline with 4.0 V8 400 Hp. If the 350z will be turbocharged it will be getting into the skylines turf and I think nissan will want to keep the fairlady weaker.

longlivetheZ · 06-23-2002, 09:25 PM

I really hope they don't give the new Z a V8...V8's are too domestic-ish. They HAVE to have a T/TT version. Not only is that the true Import thing to do, but it's a Z tradition. I just hope that when/if they offer a T/TT version, it isn't too much.

TraqNmy350Z · 06-24-2002, 02:27 AM

The V8 is Great! A twin turbo V8 will be even better!

Forget that... give me a NA-V8 and I will force the induction myself. 600-750 ponies EASY!

First, the negatives:

The multi-hued copper color is an abomination, the first copper "Z's" were butt-ugly too.

What?! I beg to differ. Le Mans Sunset is pretty much the only color it looks good in. Maybe the Brickyard Red. Have you seen the latest pics of the production car? It is gorgeous!

Now the positives:

The body shape is most excellent! Pro-forma "Z" from time immemorial.

What?! The body shape is almost ugly. It's giving me doubts and making me thinking that the Z32 body is the way to go. Maybe I should look for a good used one.

longlivetheZ · 06-24-2002, 04:49 PM

I would almost rather they made the new Z a dohc inline 6 like the Skyline or the Supra, but a V-6 would work. Nothing like a pair of sequential hybrid ceramic ball bearing turbos spooling up propelling my little V-6 past most v-8s and v-10s on the road. Screw dealin with all the induction shit, blowers, carbs, supercharger pullys....bleh....too many moving parts. Spend a couple hundred on a good exaust, intake, and a boost controller and tell me what my rear licence plate says....I forgot.

Plus....I get to drive right past the gas station.....
