The next gen Z will not get 530hp and a GTR price tag, Nissan won't take away from the GTR market. Moreover, how many of us would have gotten the Z if we had to pay GTR prices? The Z is a mid-entry sports car meant for the $30000-$42000 price range. Anything more luxurious is reserved for Infiniti. It makes me sad to think that the Z will be offered with a multiple engines. The G does this and that is why you see them everywhere, the Z is a niche car, if Nissan blows that up the Z will lose its allure and you'll have your "v6 mustang" Z's running around with 200hp. What Nissan should do is continue to improve the Z, more displacement more power and refine what they can from the 370z (LIKE THE M6 CLUNKYNESS). With times being what they are my hopes may be a pipe dream as maximizing the dollars > niche market sports cars.
