Point of a Z is to have a simple, reliable, affordable yet exciting, enjoyable, sports car. This is why 350s and 370 have been successful.
I doubt Nissan would change their philosophy regarding the Z.

Z is competing and performing better than cars like the Porsche Boxter, that cost nearly 50% more.

^^I agree with that. I think Nissan will stay true to the Z's lineage and continue producing a car based off the simple idea of performance at a low price. I mean isn't that what the Z has always stood for?

Not much will change. The 350Z had minor tweaks here and there. Same as the Nissan Titan that is nearly identical to when it was released back in 2004. I was dreaming that they'd produce a 380Z and then you'd be able to bolt on a GTR turbo setup fairly easily but that won't happen. I bet you won't see anything except a wheel design change for 2012..... Possibly a new bumper. That's all.
I'd have the biggest hard on if they changed the Nismo to a twin turbo and raised sticker price just $3k.

Yeah.. Definitely doubt any big bump in hp. If they gave it more power they'll lose sales to the GT-R. And definitely most times dealing with TT are gonna have problems. Nissan would be losing money keeping it all under warranty. Look at the muscle cars the more hp the more problems (in some cases?).

Also the question is, those high power and somewhat exclusive muscle cars, selling? I don't know this and I would be interested in looking at the data if someone can offer any.

If they make the Z more competitive on the street with the pony cars I bet the sales would increase. Who would complain about more power? |
