And then a four cylinder drive-train (2.0-2.5) turbo'd version and produces 235hp with a Nismo version that puts out 245-250.

I might be hoping for too much but it gives everyone a choice if they want a killer V6 like we have now, or a lighter more nimble and more economical sports car that will kill the competition in the segment.

Sounds like you want the Z to become a Hyundai Genesis coupe

Double post. Sorry.

I know several V8 owners who get a solid 9mpg.

Why not sell your Z if you hate it so much? Get a toyobru so you can complain over there.

What are you talking about? The juke has a 1.6t. I think its the MR16 or something like that.

Or call it the Z35.

You mean Fairlady Z

I seem to recall an article that noted Nissan wasn't really in a position to develop the Z as radically different from the Q50 -- I'm not expecting huge differences, but possibly the loss of 100 or so lbs.

As for motor, I could see them pulling a Hyundai and offering a half decent turbo 4 and for more $$$ a N/A V6.

I don't know about the Merc engines -- I thought those were all diesel, and so more oriented towards a Euro market.

Whatever they put in there, it will NOT be slower or handle worse than the current model, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

As to the FT-1, I kind of expect Toyota to tone it waaaaaay down and sticker it around 40 - 50K, making it a good bit more pricey than the Z35, but also placing it temptingly within the ball park, especially if it carries the legendary Supra badge and can get out of its own way.

Negative- it's petrol.

On a different note, here's further proof that there's plenty of power to be had from a FI 4 cylinder:

Well that certainly takes the wind out of Mercedes recent accomplishments with their new turbo 4 cylinder lol

They did the same thing with the Z31 and Z32.

Z31 and a Z32 are completely different cars but sure

also the Z32 was not called twinturbo unless it had TT's which not all of them did, there was a lot of NA Z32's

brucelidat · 01-27-2014, 10:31 PM

If toyota makes a car that is close tot he ft-1 concept, the z35 better look amazing or Nissan better hope the Toyota is in a way higher price/performance range. I think it'll probably be gt-r fighter if it comes out, but if it's in vette price range, oh man...

Nissan is taking way too long on the new Z and new "G"-coupe.

They better do a bang up job this time...I had a loaded 2011 G37S coupe before my ZR with quite a few mods. I did love it...but...

Agreed. The Z35 better look amazing if the Supra turns out to be in the same price range. I doubt the Supra will be a GT-R fighter. Even the LF-A fell short against the 2013 MY GT-R.

brucelidat · 01-28-2014, 12:35 AM

When is say Gt-r fighte,r i just mena the price/market range they will be shooting for. I really doubt it will be a z fighter. It will either be a 100k+ "super car" or a 60k-ish sports car, no way anything that looks remotely like that will be int he 35k range

LMBmikeZ · 01-28-2014, 12:43 AM

for canada the Z is $50K I could see the FT-1 in the 50-60K range……GT-R up here is 110K+ new

if it came out exactly as it in concept now I would trade my Z for it and be willing to go as high as $65K maybe $70k as long as it's boosted and push in at least 400-450hp with the inline 6!
