[QUOTE=ImportConvert;975096]GT-R isn't a true sports car, either, I guess.
"True sports car." Some people just hear fanboy chatter and repeat it. The Z is a traditional sports car. Gran turismo sports cars, are just as much sports cars as the traditional 2 seaters. There are cases where the GT sports car out-handles out-maneuvers and out performs traditional sports cars. And its not just the porsche 911 either... as you stated with the GT-R. Not many so called sports cars can touch it. Lol
Back to topic. All the 370z needs is a TT setup. Let the TT start right under 40k and offer around 420hp/360lb tq. Going to a v8 will change driving characteristics too much and make the car lose some handling capability. To maintain handling, Nissan would have to redesign the whole car. I honestly want more power in this same exact platform. Besides forced induction will keep it light and at under 3300lbs, the fatter cars will have more comp on its hands.
I think that the Z might have to slightly lower its msrp back to 2009 numbers on the non aspirated Z if it came out with the FI, Z. The mustang did it on the GT coupes. I think that will help boost sales for the Z as I know it will do for the mustang.
The concept of the rare car is kinda kool but, I rather the Z just win the performance war than cancel out.
