Do you remember the fate of the 3000GT VR-4, 300zx TT, Supra TT, Stealth R/T TT, or the 3rd gen RX-7?

THAT is why the 350Z is not turbo'd from the factory.

Also, they wouldn't want to take away from GTR sales, either.

I know that ruiner. It cost too much to mod, that is the reason I didn't get one. Also I know it would take away from the GTR sales. But you have to have a less expensive turbo care that people could afford. How many people do you think can afford a GTR? I know I am going to buy a GTR, but what about those that dont have the money. They might like to have that option of a 350ztt or t.

I'll hold you to that...

With that said, turbo'ing a car is expensive and even more so from the factory. Couple that with having to make it California DOT accepted and that just adds more money.

It isn't worth the money that the car will cost if you turbo it. From the factory, a turbo'd 350Z would easily be $45k, perhaps $50k. Suddenly, you are in the C6 Corvette price range and that is not where you want the market to be.

Also, a single turbo isn't really feasible given the lack of room in the engine compartment and the V config of the engine.
