there was the


Slicktop non turbo
Twin turbo T-tops
2+2 non turbo
convertible non turbo

nissan should have brought over the slicktop twin turbo, and 2+2 twin turbo.
they would have sold alot more. not to mention they should have offered the non turbos 4.08's gears as an option. swapping to the non turbo diff from the TT alone saves 110lbs and the slick top is around 120lbs lighter then the t-top. a stock 300zx twin turbo slicktop that weighed around 3250lbs with 4.08 gears from the factory? that would have murked everything in it's class.

and if there is a 400z, it's going to be just like the M3. 2 or 2+2 config with a 4.0 high revvin V8.
