For "just under $35,000" the speculated specs will be a failure. The Z needs an overhaul if its going to be competitive at that price. People cross shop that with Mustang GTs and 3 series..design aside, I know I probably wouldn't pick the Z in 2016 if these specs turn out to be correct. At that point the new Mustang and Camaro platforms will be out. The Mustang has been rumored to be a couple hundred pounds lighter and possibly pushing 450hp. Some say the Z isn't necessarily a competitor of the muscle cars, but the consumers say otherwise.

With the refresh going back to the 350z front bumper, I think the next Z will have a much more conservative design approach.
