Message	I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but the Z community has always been behind the times when it comes to turbo's, technology, ect. I currently own a Supra and as most know, their community pushes the envolope in many regards. The new billet turbo's are amazing. People are making 850rwhp from new 67mm turbos. My old school 71mm put down 770rwhp for reference. The difference in spool, power and even longevity is better in all aspects with the new billet series turbo's. Sooner than later the community will branch out and adapt, it will be about that time that I will be ready for another Z.
