Nothing more on that needs to be said. It's obvious which direction the masses are pushing car manufacturers. It doesn't make it right, but it's the way things are going. On the upside, in another ten years my car will be theft proof since no one will know how to drive a manual.

Too funny. Manuals for the win... even my crappy daily driver Jaguar x type I had was a manual. To me it's the only way to drive. We would always laugh at automatics at the races... so you have to step on the gas and hold it there until the end... wow how do you do it. Lol

As for the amount of Nismo's they will sell etc the fact is the Nismo will become more like the Sti or MR evo not limited edition more of just a version like the track model 350z.

If the new z isnt reduced in weight they have an epic failure on their hands. I remember seeing the 370z which was to be a downsized 350z but then they somehow come out heavier. We don't need 14 inch rotors, a million metal braces, use .ore aluminum and shave the weight down. I assume I will be driving the next supra. I can't see Nissan making an intelligent move here.

I wouldn't go that far with it. Majority of cars are automatic. But there are some vehicles that just can't be auto or people will riot... That is why options were invented and I think that's cool.

Also I wouldn't say completely theft proof. Z gods forbid someone jacks your Z, but they could burn your clutch to bits.

GTR engine in Eau Rouge =

211hp turbo 4 = da faq? a little bitch ford focus puts out 252hp. if thats the engine they try passing off in a new Z it'll probably be the death of the car lol

Looks like the Z is going down in engine size and adding a turbo, while Infiniti gets the GT-R (minus the transmission though).

yeaaaaaaaaa a 4 cyl Z with most likely less HP than it has now......if so bye bye Z car.

sadly it'll probably sell more because if they do the 4cyl it means they want the BRZ/FRS market so it'll be cheaper. and then the Z becomes another terrible car like those 2.

god i hope i'm wrong

that eau rouge looks sexy though lol

Just because that turbo four makes less power doesn't mean the Z necessarily will. That's a China special, right? It would be very easy for them to make a 300hp+ turbo 4. Pretty much everyone has one now. And factory turbo motors usually have the ability to make loads more power than stock with bolt-ons and a tune. And if the car's lighter, it's going to be faster. The sky isn't necessarily falling.

yea i'd hope they will make it more than 300hp if they go 4cyl turbo and if they dont it would be a giant mistake. i'm just saying worst case if it's a bitch car then its because of nissan wanting part of the BRZ/FRS cheap little sports car market share. thats all.

i really hope they stay true to the Z platform and just lighten it a bit and keep the V6. maybe even add a couple snails to it(even though that'll never happen with big brother GTR being around).

Can easily bump the power, looking into which Mercedes engine it is currently and what can be done.
I will say this though, if it is a 4 cylinder in the new Z the Z is dead. Yes it will live on, but it will be a new breed of the car in a different arena.
