I'd like to see the Z go bigger ala Toyota Supra. Put a turbo on the current V6 for 350 lb-ft, 400 hp, < 3500 lbs. Add mini back-seats like the TT.
Then come out with a smaller sports car to compete with the BRZ and miata.

Nissan's seems to be pushing their racing creds a lot lately (GT Acadamy, Deltawing, Altima V8 touring car) but they only offer one high volume sports car. They need to label the GTR an Infiniti, and split the Z-cars into two tiers.

I like companies that offer a low-price/high-price sports car pairs. Think Celica/Supra, Miata/RX8, Camaro/Corvette, BRZ/STI, MustangV6/V8, Soltice/GTO. That structure allows a low bar to enter the brand, and then a more mature option to grow into.

240Z and 400ZX
