New IS TT Possible?
New IS TT Possible?
With the advent of only V6 engines in the new IS, are we destined to see twin turbo IS' rolling around? When the G35/350Z were introduced, twins were (and I believe still are) the only option besides supercharging. Which engine do you think would get a TT package first??? 204hp v6 or 306hp v6??? This should get pretty interesting consindering some of those TT kits for the 350 are putting out 500+ hp!
