gtr

As some people here have already said, if this 2.5 L was along the same concept as an MX5 then yes, cause the performance would be good from lighter weight that would benefit performance, handling and braking.

If that read VQ25DET(T) I'd be all for it.

250z?...hell 2 da no!..haha

GTR Nismo should have 6 turbos

I think your forgetting all about the vk56, or the direct injection version of it, or they could always go crazy and do up the vk56tt<------gets my vote

im down for a 250sx/silvia but not th z

yah, make a silvia or a rear drive altima using 2.5 and compete against the FT86 or watever it was called.

As others have stated, a 2.5 RWD should be a <3klbs banger, not a V6. Take me back to my 240 days!

So, I think I'd advocate a 270s or 270sx, smaller and with styling cues from the Z, a drop-top to directly compete with the MX5, maybe even undercut the price. If not a drop-top, then maybe a stable targa.

The problem with this approach is that so many roadsters have tried and failed to dethrone the little Mazda, and it's a niche market as it is, that the whole proposition becomes a huge risk. I don't know if it would compete, but I'd love to see what they stood up to attempt it.

Cheap fun RWD car? Yup, I'd buy that in a heart beat too. :driving: When my big heavy RWD car dies I'd like to replace it with something small and fun, so something like that would be on the list.

I see this being a 240sx replacement not another Z. Keep this biootch 2700lbs get 250hp, get 220lbs tq minimum and I would be in it. The ft86 is rumored to weigh 2866lbs so... nissan needs to beat the comp.

i think it would kinda defeats the whole reason why I bought a Z in the first place. With this heavy of a car, I think I need this big of an engine to match it. If I wanted a smaller engine, I would go with a FT86, S2000 or a Miata type of car. To be honest, if they had a production Twin Turbo Charge 370z, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
