Something that's closer to 3000 lbs with a turbo i4 is closer to the realms of a Silvia, which would be amazing if Nissan brought it back.
With i4 turbos pushing more power than the average v6 20 years ago, it's hard to see the Z compete if it were to go back to basics with a high output smaller displacement v6 without turbos even if it sheds a few hundred lbs.
Power aside, I'd love to see the Z go back to basics with a slightly smaller chassis with super fast engine response and handling reflex. Whatever brings the FUN in driving again.
