glad to hear the Z will live on in one way or another. the Z has yet to go down in displacement in subsequent generation but i don't see it getting much bigger than it is currently, at least in displacement. i think if anything they should move to a lighter body and more efficient engine. i could see them adding direct injection (possibly before the end of the Z34). more liberal use of aluminum and possibly carbon fiber could really lower the weight improving performance and mileage. cost would go up as a consequence tho. if you really think about how hard it is to improve on a car like the Z33 or Z34 and make the fans happy while still pressing forward, keeping costs down and still maintaing bumper to bumper, powertrain, and paint warranties... it's crazy
