I refuse to accept that with all the engineering prowess behind Nissan they can't produce a V6 that has 375hp and drop 1-200lbs of weight. It's not unrealistic. It might be unrealistic with the current VQ motor, but this is a complete overhaul of a car.
As for fuel savings, Nissan already has a ton of cars that are economical. They can make the Z as efficient as it can be for a sports car and call it a day.
Also, if you are concerned about price there is a very easy solution:
4 banger entry model with no frills for cheap
NA 6 sport model for more money
Nismo Turbo model for even more money
It's not rocket science. America has done this for years with the Mustang and Camaro.
