The Z31 Turbo to Z32 Turbo HP bump was in that neighborhood. Unfortunately the price jumped $10k at the same time.

Even maybe a M4 too. No way the Z would be 450 Hp way to close to the GT-R can't expect Nissan to jump up 100 Hp... when in history have they ever done that?

nismo version will most likely be 450hp based on there being a 400hp and later 450hp version of the Q60 that was announced.

when these release you gotta think that the next GT-R will be out or soon to be out so the HP on that will be way up too. considering it already is at 545hp and the nismo at 600hp. if next gen GTR gets the hybrid boost it'll be up to 800hp total. probably 600hp engine and 150-250hp electric add on.

so a 400/450HP step down Z isn't out of the question. still will be a 200HP or so gap as the Z and GTR are around now.

yes but if I came on here acting proper and well behaved it would raise suspicion. it's easier to gather info that is free and open when there isn't any knowledge that a power figure of sorts is watching.

that being said I wish I was a Nissan rep because I would have a new Z or Q60 before you bitches lol

repping FI all day my friend

We've been saying this for months now, and Ill CHEERFULLY pay $10K more for a 450HP Z35. I drive a Genesis so I obviously dont care what it looks like either.

Id get stiff if they would drop that TAU 5.0 in the next coupe, from what we have seen and heard, theres zero chance of that sadly.

yea it would be cool to see. pretty sure they are just beefin up the 4 banger turbo or maybe a v6 turbo.

next Z will still be better on the looks side most likely no matter if the genny gets a V6 boosted.

'14 was the last year for the 4 pot turbo. As you know, theyll probabaly be going with the turbo 6 3.3L. Not sure how interested Ill be if its not at least meeting the Z 35 specs for $10K less with all my current amenities.

so off topic but my cousin has a 2.0t genesis 2013 i think. he got intakes and a cbe and got tuned and he's at 305whp and 340tq. while we were there some guy that wouldn't stfu about how his 3.8 turbo genesis was beating everything on the road got dynoed and i laugh at him. after the tune he couldn't get 400whp.

now to me that's sad, or maybe it's just me?
also i think he must have been racing civics if he was beating everyone
