Most automobile manufacturers will use the same engine across a number of their cars (Nissan does it with the VQ) in order to keep costs in check. Here's my questions and I want to know what you folks think.
If Nissan did in fact come out with the smaller/lighter Z with a turbo 4, what other Nissan cars would it power?

Hopefully not juke or sentra, we know the new maxima sedan will be a 3.5 w/ some electric motors.
Most likely will be found in the new G coupe/sedan (Q50 something whatever I am calling it G coupe)
-knowing that G coupe/sedan are pretty massive cars, Can't expect any less power/torque or they will risk becoming slower than civics.
So I'd say a high boost 4, north of 300hp 300tq from a 2.0+ displacement,
Would love to see less mass in the chasis, but wouldn't be upset if it was close to 3200lbs w/ more power... as long as it doesn't gain weight.
