350-400hp (turbo 6) (even though I would prefer NA TBH)
Brembo brakes (option)
Recaro Seats (option)
7 speed manual
7 speed DCT (option)
Better handling and braking
Slightly better materials for the interior
Slightly better sound proofing
NO vmotion grill

That will pull people aspiring to a Z from BRZ and FRS, people who want a Cayman but see the Z as a cheaper faster alternative, and if priced competitively people buying muscle cars who really just want a quick sporty coupe.
The engine options are already their. So it wouldn't be 350hp. You'd have a 300hp and a 400hp. You might see an entry level 4 banger between 211 and 241 hp depending on what tune they go with.

n/a we won't see for a while. Better to upgrade to a current Nismo n call it a day if NA is your thing
