Here is what I want. Have the next gen base Z powered with whatever V6 or 4 cyl (smaller/lighter) Nissan keeps talking about if they want to go after the BRZ/FRS market instead of bringing back the Silvia platform. Also isn't the iDX supposed to compete in that market? Anyways for the Nismo (performance package) drop in the VR38DETT. Before you go wait a minute they will never use the GTR engine in the Z. With the next GTR use a new engine to keep it the unique halo car for Nissan. This will make the Nismo and IPL badge mean something more than a body kit. This has been rumored to be the next IPL's engine but would cost upwards of $80k-$90k. At which point the current market walks. Might as well get a GTR. So what are we left with at the current Z market price? How do we get that power but keep the cost down? Or can the VR38DETT be delivered in the Z at a better price point than what was rumored? Can Nissan deliver?

All signs are pointing to using a Mercedes engine in their joint venture.
