A factory TT Z with 450 HP can easily rival a 550-600 HP GTR with a few simple mod.
I personally don't think Nissan will ever do do that. If they did that'll be the end of the GTR. People will go, "hey I can buy a Z for less than half of a GTR and make it quicker"!
Dropping weight and using the Juke Nismo RS engine to compete with the BRZ/FRS is much more financially beneficial for Nissan.  |
The next gen GTR is AWD, balls deep, launch control, aint stopping for nuns or nuthing, spaceball insanity 800hp. A 420-450hp RWD Z is zero threat.
