| Will Nissan bring back the turbo Z?
I don’t think that this is a good idea, because the naturally-aspirated Z already does 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds. Adding a turbocharger or two would drop it to something in the low 4’s, which would damage sales of the GT-R because people would save money by tuning up their turbo Zs instead. If they do go for this, however, I think that they should include it only on the track-focused Nismo Z, as turbocharged cars do not lend themselves well to everyday driving. Maintenance is too particular on a turbocharged vehicle, which is why they are typically featured on track cars such as the Veyron, EVO and old Supra. As the Z is intended as an everyday sportscar for those on a budget, a supercharger would be more practical. react... |
