I agree, the 350z had 240ish wheel hp and could handle around 400 wheel hp comfortably so I would assume Nissan would at least makean already forced induced motor with fairly strong internals.
I was thinking how it's funny a lot of doubters saying a 3000-3200 pound 400hp Z couldn't exist for 36-45k. Who would have thought you could ever buy a 435hp car for 29k brand new. (Mustang GT, yes I saw on autotrader for this price brand new)
As for the weight, it's already an impractical car with a 2 seater. The FRS with a backseat weighs around 2700 pounds. We have heard the Z possibly getting smaller so theoretically Nissan could make a 3000+ or- pound car.
