And don't worry about the GTR. By the time Z has 400+ hp, GTR would be somewhere around 600. Big brother will always be big brother

Throw on top drivetrain differences, and they will never be close to comparable.

Thread necro wtf?!!?!?

O, wait...nevermind, just yet another repeat...

Nissan will do what it takes to remain competitive, period. Otherwise, the Z will die off.

a V-8 option in the Z would be interesting. they do fit since forsberg has one in his formula D car and then i found this guy too...

A small V8 would be awesome for the Z, but I don't see it happening ever.

Should bough some properly sized tires for the rims, and pick the damn car off the floor.

The new mustang is just as fast as an m3 on the track... Nissan needs to step their game up!

And the next gen Mustang coming out in 2014 is supposed to be even faster.

That's why I'm glad i leased the 370z so by 2014-2015 I can have good options to get into

I wish Honda still made the s2000 beefed up

Yeah I'm planning on getting either the new Mustang or the C7 in 2014. Gonna sell or trade in the Z when I do.

not gonna lie.....that is pretty sexy haha

Just like in that article and with the vision Nissan wants to go with the car you can expect a smaller Z with a 4 cyl turbo before you can expect a 6 cyl turbo. I hope I am wrong as that would break from tradition. But with the pressure to stay competitive and mpg friendly etc etc. Going bigger isn't the safest bet. Nissan will play this close to the vest until they are ready to debut the next model. Maybe Nissan can once again be the innovater and shake up the category while sticking with a 6 cyl and remain very competitive. Only time will tell.

Man this forum makes me think not very many people are happy with their Z. I am looking forward to 2014/15 tho and hopefully a mustang that doesn't look so much like a mustang.
