Yep, went to my local car meet tonight, and one of the guys told me that the Nissan murano was turbocharged in a one of a kind, non production Nissan Murano last year... which they dubbed the Nissan Murano GTC. The turbo added an additional 100 horses!

it was actually the c.v. transmission that couldn't handle the power, but the new cvt has been completely re-designed.

Haha that would be funny if they denied him cause of the forum.

Thats like losing your job because of myspace profiles/pictures.

I think adidas's turbo setup will work just fine.

good luck bro

she said 7 seconds, but that wasn't timed, I'm positive that that Murano did 0-60 in faster than 7 seconds, with 345 hp, and probably about 275-285 at the wheels, that thing (if it could withstand the test of time) would have smoked the G35, 3.5 A/C, 350Z easily in a quarter mile!

the 2.5 does 7 and some change, not 7, and not less than 7

the only reason I put that there was because Blake is turbocharging his CVT, and that made it relevant... however, since Warner stated that our CVT is much stronger, that's good news for Blake's car
