The VQ was maxed out on power. You needed F.I. or a stroker kit to get power out of it. Muscle had brand new engines and multi-million dollar ad campaigns. Shortly after, in 2012, everything began turning F.I. ASk the Nissan refresh was considered weak.

On paper the Z was falling behind and the mainstream media was focusing on paper stats. The Z appeared to be technologically inferior.

The Z still felt better behind the wheel than all its competitors despite its shortcomings.

The next Z I believe will show & prove.
