Like in said the sports car market will be saturated soon which is good for us likening the 90s.

Mazda has talk of a rx7 successor. Honda talks of a sports car. Kia bringing in the stinger. Ford offering 4 cylinder turbo. V6 an don't v8 platform.
Even lotus elise is supposed to be around 55k with a 320hp 4 cylinder turbo only weighing 2400 pounds.

I'm looking at my next car to be under 60k but pack one heck of a performance package. My eyes are on the Lotus elise or Toyota supra aka Ft1.
Unless the new z is amazing I'm moving on to a new brand after 10 years of Z's

mazda has rumors every year about the rx7 returning. Ill believe it when I see it, and didn't kia cancel their sports car?. Honda was working on a s2k successor but I guess thats a false rumor as well since they haven't said anything. The only vehicles I am looking forward to now is the new mazda thats being unveiled on Wednesday, And the new EVO X SAM with more power sometime next year.

Honda confirmed the s2000 earlier this month.

Don't think it's going to have AWD, and if it does Mazda may have caught my attention. Ahh, wait I forgot they have 4 cylinder. I just don't value and car with a 4 cylinder a sports car. I know that makes me ignorant but after you ride in a twin turbod v8, a 4 cylinder just doesn't feel right

Well when I think of a sports car I think overall. Power, handling, and styling. The Zs have always outclassed everything in my opinion. The 370z isn't the fastest, it doesn't handle the best but god damn is it beautiful. It's also not the slowest and it can handle itself quite good. It's the best looking car on the market with decent power and decent handling with infinite potential. It wins my vote generation after generation.

Hard to believe but we'll see.. I doubt Nissan would give up there line of Z engines for a benz mark

watson853 · 08-31-2014, 10:32 PM

Mid engined hybrid setup 350+ hp is the most we know about the new s2000.

I remember when I had my 07' HR. I could run the new Mustang, most of them bolted and roll on them with no issues stock. And I got 25mpg doing it. The Z, if talking numbers isn't to par with its price range now. Even the mustang is taking to the road-course well these days. The Z needs power. There are a few v6s NA making more power surely Nissan can deliver from the VQ line if it wanted to. Or they could put some small turbos on it and make it a really nice tuner car like the older BMW 135's. This is my second, and while I like the 370 more than my 350, Ill more likely also opt for something with more power, par handling, and back seat next time. Unless Nissan gives me the 400HP option within the correct price range.
I grew up with a Mustang collector as a father. He rocked a 67 GT, and a 65 289. I had the 71' Mach 1 and use to low whooping the kids who had daddies shinny new mustang out for a drive. I don't know about everyone elses 370s, but mine cant hang with the 5.0 lol. This makes me sad, and promotes a condition I call, spend to you win. Wife hates it

OR if Nissan wants to start talking upping the cash requested, then they need to offer this 2 seater as a match for vette, and well lol.
