turbo it how? have you seen how horribly cramped the engine bay on the new z is? the headers literally come out and pass an inch from the inner fender wall. id like to see the crazy manifold/downpipe design of someone who managed to pull it off tho.

I like the design of the new Z in that it's kinda a fusion of old school Z car style with enough modern styling and technology that it doesn't seem dated or like an old concept rehashed (with little effort put forth). I can't comment on it's performance one way or the other since I haven't driven it (yet ).

I like the new wrx with the aftermarket rally lights. They look fantastic.
Isn't HKS working on superchargers? They might plan to work one of those in there.

Well from what I heard from someone folks F-max already has a twin turbo design for the 350Z.
As for performance and whether or not it needs FI, 5.4 sec 0-60 is not bad at all. Especially for such a heavy car as someone already mentioned.
