Nissan can make a philosophical competitor for the Fr-S in a silvia type vehicle. I think it's time for nissan to make a $27k RWD lightweight 2800lb 270hp turbo 2+2 coupe so i can daily it anyway.

Nissan Z can be a 370hp 3100lb car.

Renault/Nissan together have more than enough knowledge when it comes to turbocharging. But the question is, do they have the money to build yet another sports car? And ditch that 2+2 crap, remember the 280ZX, ugh.

370Z still the best bang for the buck, imo. And for $5 grand in mods, can be made into a Beast!

But yea, ideally the silvia should be their entry (FR-S competitor), Z being mid range (competing with say the low end porches), then the GOD

being their top tier exotic killer!

With proper engineering, 100hp per litre is doable without being too costly. If we go Fi? Less of an issue.

Yea, im not going to act like i have extensive knowledge on how many horses you can get per litre (Im no automotive aficionado) so i wont....BUT that would be great if they could figure that out

That's nonsense. Just speculative stuff and a rendering made with the Esflow concept.

I think i said this in another thread, but when/if Nissan should makea 2016 Nismo Z, they should use the Amuse Kit for the new style kit. thoughts?

Try putting an HKS Hi-Power catback, a Stillen G3 CAI and an UpRev tune. The car is completely transformed and I love it more than ever...

I'm going with a 997 Turbo Cabrio next anyway so unless the Z is at least 425hp, I won't be interested at all.
