That torque band would be dreamy on the current Z34, much less a revised and more efficient Z35 platform.
There's no way they can't make the Z35 perform right in the pack of the new GM Alpha-platformed cars, the new Mustang GT, or the current Caymans with the potential of this motor.

If the 2500LB GRIP Z chassis is coupified and sports car reinforced? It won't be 2,500lb anymore. Being that the Grip Z had an AWD in it at the weight. I see it possible the Z will be right under 3,000lbs and 400HP. Unstoppabl!! . Nissan may actually be giving us the car we want?
The muscle cars would once again play catch up... if they follow tradition like Mercedes and keep there sports cars with Hydraulic steering. I see the next Z winning awards and being the best Z since the early 70's.
Nissan, do it right! But we know like with the Z34, as when I fed the troll in the "iwantanicecar/jungle Z posts... Nissan brought groundbreaking technology and firsts in the Z. Looks like we'll be seeing this trend....
PRAYING FOR EXTREMELY LOW COG....
Dry sump lubrication anyone? Please Nissan, drop it like its hot!!! 50" ride height is the magic number.
