380Z Makes a lot of senses. it even sounds right 240z (2400cc), 260z(2600cc), 280z (2800cc), 300zx (3000cc), 350z (3500cc), 370z (3700cc), and they are all 6 cylinders.

I would like to see the Z35 drop in weight with a 3.0T, however I doubt Nissan will do that. I know there's been talk about a turbo I4 as well, but I see Nissan, being Nissan and retaining the VQ37 with sheet metal changes. Case in point, the G37 -> Q50 remodel.
Sadly, Nissan has pretty much forgotten about the Z34 since it's introduction and I don't see them making a legitimate effort on the Z35 either. Yes, it's received updates here and there, but the GTR also came out in 2009, and look how much they've improved it compared to the Z. |

imo the best thing that can happen right now, if we don't get a turbo 6, is the z34 go the way of the z32. no car follows for a couple years, and the z34 market stays extremely strong as its the last Z car on the market for the time

As much as I'd love a baby GTR engine, what I'm hoping Nissan can make happen is great handling, good power, good build and material quality, great design and a starting price less than $40,000. Oh, and good headroom for we tall/long of torso folks!
That's a lot to ask but I'm hopeful.

Seems like the new supra may be a Z competitor after all. I hope nissan doesn't go plug in hybrid.....

While I'm not completely sold on the hybrid drive trains in sports cars yet (love the instant torque concept just concerned about reliability) 350hp and 3000lbs excites me. I hope they keep it close to the FT1concept styling.
