There is a Greddy turbo kit that I read about somewhere. The engine is not really set up for a turbo application so it was a low boost set up. Anyway, I think Nissan will come out with a turbo version that should be impressive.

I was under the impression that there were no turbo kits out for the 350Z as of yet. This is coming from an owner of a nissan dealership, with that "suped up" Z I spoke of before. He's got a ridiculous amount of money, so I'm sure if it were out it would be on his car, regardless of cost.

............'03 Cobra ..........'02-below MUSTAKE!
$#!T, if a car's got *****, then I give it the respect the car commands. I wasn't laughing at your make/model of car unit, just a funny post. I'm embarassed that GM even MADE V6 F Bodies. Yea, I'm new to the SITE! Just a little humor! We all get our defenses up once in a while.

I dunno, a 350Z is pretty even with an LT1. Definitely nothing for an LS1, though.

PS- unit, that link for the v6 stang doesnt work... I'd like to see it, though.

Thats because they arn't worth posting.

We took one in an Impala SS loaded with 5 people and like 500 pounds of tools and stereo from 80-120 on the freeway, we pulled about 1.5 cars on him.

Yea they have one out. The only thing is it's an installers nightmare so that's probably why the kid didnt get it. It's also hard to come by. My dad wanted one of these cars so bad when they came out. They're performance is about the same as the older turbo ones stock. So they aren't really much to talk about (yet).

Yeah I've seen this kid around his car ... there is no way in hell he cares how hard something is to install ... he barely looks like he knows how to drive the car, let alone install ****. Plus, he's got a dealership of grease monkeys under his control, and could easily have ALL 20 or so of them working on it if he wanted.
Who knows, maybe we'll see it on there in the near future.

Yep, a mod from the Texas section banned him. It was actually pretty funny, Bullitt actually told him "Go ahead, I dare you to ban me" in true Bullitt fashion, and he got what he asked for.

ROTFL ... that kid is too much. I wonder why he didn't just sign up with a different name? He had like 17 of them already to begin with. And if they banned him by IP, it's not hard to renew your IP, so I'm sure he'll be back when he figures out how.

Well, I almost guarantee they banned his IP, which means he's probably too dense to figure out how to get by it and thus can't read any of our stuff...

Same with the V6 F-body. If GM didn't make and sell those, it may have not have been economically feasible to bring the V8 F-body to market.


When I see a bunch of V6 F-bods, I'm glad those 17-year old girls and 50-year old divorced trailer park women bought them
