Kia has a car that may come out with a 315 hp rear drive 4 cylinder turbo... I can't see nissan letting Kia win that battle.
Also tuners now are able to boost a car on higher compression successfully so the car could have a 10:5:1 ratio and be boosted at 18psi with a good size turbo but not too large to cause a big lag and achieve those numbers.
This is a lot better then shoving electric motors on an NA car like what was talked about a year or so ago.

all good points. i mean it could be interesting to see what people can do with a just modding the already boosted engine. i mean i've seen some interesting number pumped out of the boosted 4 banger in the genesis coupes so i'm guessing it could be nice. plus i agree the weight saving would be lovely. for the size of the Z being around 3200lbs is a bit much. i mean the GTR is bigger and AWD but its only 3800lbs lol where is the Z hiding all that weight
and no Kia will not win lol
