I don't care that much about the specific engine, provided it has good off the line torque and decent power, meaning it certainly can't result in a slower Z relative to previous ones.

OEM FI would be great -- that means a stout motor that has lots of room to make more power, again, provided it isn't anemic off the line.

I'd disregard the idX commentary... if any of that car's DNA goes into the next Z, it will be in the form of weight savings and package options -- not in looks or performance. They aren't going to make the next Z look like a Datsun 510.

Honestly, if they made the car 200 lbs heavier than the FR-S, but gave it a V6 or turbo 4 (or an option of both) it would be a screamer and a hit.
