3.8 twin-turbo with approximately 480hp weigh about 3,300-3,400lbs

Judging by the low amount of people interested in a continuing 3.7 or a 4 cylinder turbo variant for a Z. I conclude that the best thing that can happen is that Nissan make a Silvia type car with a 4 banger turbo that can get close to replicating current Z on paper performance starting at $26,000 and at $38,000 they can build a Z that will build and improve on the current Z on paper performance. I think the best bet is the Silvia goes FWD/AWD option and weighs in at 2500lbs. The Juke is an astonishing 2800lbs for it's size, drivetrain and room. I think a Silvia type car can achieve 2500lbs and 250 turbocharged horses would make it a hoot to drive.

The Fr-S competitor can be the AWD model...

Preach it... Here's hoping they'll actually listen.
