if the next gen Z is the first to ditch the 6cyl due to "going with the times" i'm going to have a problem liking it. yes i know before the lot of you jump on me about "weight savings" and whatnot hear me out on the fact that Z has a long standing heritage. i like that about it. and a 4 banger turbo just makes me feel like i might as well hang up my balls and go buy a honda. if i wanted a baby turbo engine and stay with nissan i'd go pick up a multi-colored 240 for 2 grand and beat it around a drift track and be one of those guys. if nissan wants to jam a 4 banger turbo in something do it to that IDX and outsell the terrible FRS and BRZ. i think the IDX looks amazing and a 4 cyl turbo is ideal and perfect for it. nissan will ruin the Z for me with a 4 cyl. it would only interest me in EVER buying it IF the body was the most amazing thing i've ever seen, the interior was just spectacular, and the 4 cyl cranked out 350+bhp. if they did all that i would consider buying a 4 cyl Z. until then i say nissan can politely piss off with a 4 cyl Z idea.

end rant.
