Which Nissan Z Generation Is Your Favorite?

[takemorepills]

I always wonder, what if Nissan offered both N/A and Twin Turbo for the new Z, satisfying both worlds. Supra had two motors to start but then cut their entry level option. Sport could have been N/A, Performance - TT. Nismo - TT with more power. Or make both engine options configurable in all trims?

It would have been 1 more nod to the Z31/Z32. Maybe further down the road the aftermarket will swap VQs into RZ34s. One can imagine.

I was SHOCKED when Nissan said that all Z trims would get 400hp. They had been offering a 4 banger, 300 hp VR and 400 hp VR in the Infiniti Q models. I was expecting Nissan to offer the low output VR on the Sport Z, but I'm grateful they didn't, now there's not much penalty for getting the lowest trim Z.

I think the VQ37 with the 9AT probably would've been surprisingly good.
