Yeah, every time I see something about the Supra or 86 my eye twitches because Toyota out of all people can do so much better. They literally made the LC-F, RC-F IS-F and GS-F engines all in house and are performance engines a lot better than any VQ Nissan has come up with. The only one where they had outside help was the LFA engine and design with Yamaha.
But back to the 370Z, I honestly think they shouldn't offer any new model years. They need to take 3 years off perfecting the next Z and offer a final edition dedicated to Mr. K and the fact the Z has been around for 50 years with turbos from the GTR and only 1,000 units No bloody stickers on a base model and jacking the price up. The next Z shouldn't have a Nismo version unless it actually means something more than a body kit and they should offer a naturally aspirated close to 400 horsepower (it is possible because a number of you are pushing those numbers with aftermarket parts), and a turbo version or twin turbo version. They should make the next one with rear seats but dedicated enthusiast ones with two seats and offer no roadster versions.
