Given they just did a redesign of the front end, you are looking at 2015-2016 for a new version. If they go lighter and cheaper, you aren't going to want one. If they go turbo, it will likely be 4-cylinder. The most desirable change is something more sexy with a turbo VQ (or the unlikely V8). However, this is going to come at a cost (~$45k for sport?)
For what a new Z will cost 2-3 years from now, you could have a twin turbo 2012 built exactly how you want it and drive it for a few years before the new ones are even released. That car would undoubtedly be better than any possible 2015-16 for quite a bit cheaper. Throw in the fact that we don't know what the car will be and the first two years will have "issues" (see steering lock, oil cooler, etc...) and I personally think it becomes more clear.
Or for the money, you could do a really clean LS swap in your 350Z  |
Like this rational a lot. Know those going FI had to ask themselves similar question.
From my shoes, and bad to think like this, but is it 3x the car? I'm spoiled by value 350 given me so far. Only screwed cause its a time bomb.
Kinda against the ls1 swapping, but a guy in St. Louis is considering buying mine in a couple months to do just that. Also know some1 here in town that has one, tho never actually seen it.
