If you really want to make noise against Porsches, as Nissan seems to love doing, the new Carrera S model 911's are now 285hp (with direct injection and revised motors). What if Nissan went 395hp for $40,000.00 on a base model?

Most people can't afford/get allocation for a GTR and look how many people here already talking about modding the 370Z? Nissan HAS to know that the aftermarket is going to come out with turbo/supercharger options this year. Why wouldn't they want a piece of that market?

I agree but Nissan seems overly sensitive about pricing the Z out of range like they did with the 300ZX. I'd love a TT but I think they wik=ll go with the DCT because so many others are starting to in gradually lower price ranges.
