Therefore, I like to think that Nissan would have ZERO issues calling the new Z "300Z" as it would be a never before used moniker.
Think "300Z" is less than "370Z"? Let's line em up and let the VR30 whoop some butt!
Nissan is even showing the new Z in USA with "Fairlady Z" badging.
Where the eff does the "400" come from anyways? Why not "380Z"? or "371Z"??
Nissan has yet to do arbitrary with their Z

Glad to hear I'm not alone on this.
They did use "380RS" on a hotted up version of the 350 with you guessed it a 3.8 liter engine.
I kinda wondered if their effort to use cues from the Z32 was a foreshadowing of them calling a "300Z"
Also, Z31 way underappreciated and the only Z car to come from the factory wiht a decent diff, the 87.5-89 Turbo's came with a CLSD. Why Nissan continues to use the viscous is beyond me.
