I don't think 2400lbs on a 240hp car would be possible in the next few years unless it's crazy expensive, but I think 2800 lbs would be doable. That's like an S2000 hp and weight, but include more torque.

I agree, I think a 240hp in 2400lb car would be more fun than 330hp with 3300lb.
I hope the new Z would be just as Nimble, if not more than the current 370z. I'm all about efficiency. Nissan would be smart to tap into the S2000, BRZ/FR-S, Miata market. I'm excited to see what they're gonna do - hopefully they'll keep it a 2 seater. I love the side profile of a fastback coupe.
