All they have to do is make a smaller (or detuned version of the GTR engine) engine with turbo and we will have our first TT factory ____Z

Yes. We have heard other reviewers say it seems maxed out. But I don't recall them using such negative statements like those in the article. "Rev it to 5000 rpm...it'll vibrate your fillings..noisy and harsh...not a pretty noise -- its just noise, like an industrial blender with bad bearings...unacceptable in this configuration...Nissan can and should do better". Thats waaaaay more than just saying it seems maxed out--the statements made here are more akin to saying this motor is garbage.
