I hope Nissan can come to there senses and become competitive for us Nissan Z enthusiast so we can have an answer for the mustangs and chargers of the world. Nissan has to make a statement and drops a lighter 3.0 twin turbo 580hp rear wheel drive monster to keep up with today's sports cars. A twin turbo 580 HP rear wheel drive Z has a nice ring to it doesn't it.

Yes cause the Corolla and Civic have massive power.... the new civic Type R coming out soonwill only have 300hp and be a 4 cyl turbo... if the new Z throws a 300hp variant with similar pricing than any true car guy would choose the Z. Front wheel drive sucks, typically have understeer and fight the steering wheel off a launch... not to mention 100s of other reasons FWD is inferior to RWD or AWD.
The closest FWD cars to being a great track car were the Type R integra and Celica GTS(yes I've driven both) but they were both still short of hitting that mark.
