As Barncobob stated. The Z is 8 years running. People see a 400hp, 3400lb-3550lb q60 and see anxious to see a 400hp, 3,000lb-3100lb , Z with a modernized interior and semi retro styling. They want at least 3 more cubic feet in the hatch and something that will further set it apart from the competition. They want there 450hp Nismo and their 250hp entry level Z that weighs less than 3000 lbs. Lower wider, slightly lengthen wheelbase for more trunk. Possibly a transaxle?
Given the expected weight of the Q. It should be achievable.
The current state of the Z is the problem... NOT the future.
