A real corvette engine
A lower COG

A sports car seating position
21st century technology.
Modern cabin.
Lower ride height
LIGHTER
WIDER
BETTER BRAKING OPTIONS
MORE CUSTOMIZABILITY

i mean i'm sure IF there's a next Z a lot will be addressed and at least the tech and interior to be brought up to 2016 standards. the newest Z/nismo is just new seats and same old tech/interior because its there why change it and raise cost.

also i will say i think the current braking (sport option/mismo) isn't bad on the Z. I've never had issues with them and feel they work well.

The list was geared to the Camaro. Not reflective of what I expect in the Z.

It's just amazing how well Chevy listened. I'm just hoping for the same quality in the redesign process with the Z.

Our brakes our fine. They just need standard brake cooling throughout the range.

Does anyone know how large is the motor in dimensional terms?

Wondering if an engine swap into the current Z be feasible over the standard route of turbocharging the VQ37VHR? (Where I'm from, a TT conversion costs well over $30k)

Really turbo kit as much as the car itself? I thought the top of the line HKS turbo kit was the most expensive at 10k?

Check his location.

Also the true cost to do FI property is close to if not more than $20k here in the U.S.

It's the location as you say. Customs, shipping and labor take a huge toll here.

Not to mention the car is 70k new here.

A factory TT Z sounds great to me. However, the "integrated turbo manifolds" worry me a lot when it comes to modding potential. If the are a big restriction for some reason, throwing larger turbos on there may be pretty damn costly.

I'm also a little worried by the peak torque at 1600-5200 rpm thing. That basically means the turbos are tiny and they are trying to do their best to hide the fact they are there at all. Sure modern turbo engines are fast and efficient. But I'll take the excitement a bit of good old turbo lag brings over efficiency any day.

It's all going to come down to cost for me. It'll be great unless they jack the price $20k.

Looks like that 4 banger Z may happen after all?
