Yeah, at the same time they are totally two different cars. they need to just release the silvia again to fill the gap they are looking at. Z still pulls a harder G than the gtr.
.96 vs .93 (just doesnt have the power to hang) z is more mechanical and sporty feeling but the designer still talks about the z not being light enough and the motor keeps growing in size...

"I much prefer smaller sports car," Nakamura revealed to Australia’s Drive. "It is the time to look at that [smaller engines]. With 370Z, we still don't know next generation will have a larger or smaller engine."

He also said that reducing the weight of Nissan’s next-generation of sports cars is a priority.

While downsizing the Z to compete with newcomers like the 2013 Scion FR-S and the 2013 Subaru BRZ may not be ideal, Nissan previously had great success with its 240SX. The vehicle was dropped from Nissan’s global lineup in the previous decade due to its engine, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, failing to meet stricter emissions standards.
