anyway, if they turbo the Z it would cost a fair amount more and it would infringe upon the performance of the GTR. notwithstanding, i'd totally get one. but it opens up a whole can of worms. its not just the turbo that would make the car more expensive. its all of the beefed up components necessary just to be able to handle the boost.


You can't just throw a turbo charged and significantly more powerful engine in a Z and not dramatically upgrade the handling if selling it as a stock vehicle. Would you spend $60k+ on a TT 370 or just make the jump to a GTR? I know what I would do...

Best Z ever made and they don't have their own fanboy forum?

I've driven the Juke and let me tell you, It NEEDS that turbo! Even with the turbo, it probably couldn't break into the 14's on a good day.

Actually no it does not, it has a 'sport' mode which turns on the boost.

I'd rather have 60k TT Z. Poorly designed AWD system, auto trans, etc, don't exactly make my mouth water...

What are you talking about: JUKE has amazing AWD and CVT!

the difference is that in 1990 300 horsepower was insane, today 332 horsepower is nothing special

Agreed the 300ZXTT was the best. I've had 5 Z's and its my favorite but the 370Z is a close second and behind that theres a gap. I've never had a 240Z though, and suspect I would like that one alot too. One day....

While both the Juke and Aztecs styling is considered polarizing, thats about where their similarities stop. The Aztec was known for being ugly and doing really nothing well, the Juke on the other hand seems to do a lot well(quick, great gas mileage,cheap, etc.).

Juke > Aztec
