According to that kW it's about 407hp. Another 15 or 20 for the Z35 maybe?

and the rumors continue to swirl and grow

a turbo v8 in the Z is a bit tough for me to believe, but we'll see what happens

I agree, turbo V8? Ehhhh...not so much. But is it bad? ;-)

There's also no guarantee all engine options int he q60 will also be available in the Z. If anything I could see them putting the v8 in the q60 as a carrot to motivate us into the more expensive Infiniti vs the Z. It could be the separation that differentiates them.

Not just a turbo V8, but a 4.7L... also find that hard to believe but I've been surprised before.

I am going to continue expecting a 3 liter v6 tt. That seems to be the most realistic scenario. If I am surprised then great (depending on what the surprise is)

Guessing next rumor will say it's powered by this...

Roads? Where we are going, we don't need roads!!

I'm all VR5.5 TT AT 600 hp, AWD, 3400 pounds, and $47k. Oh, that's the GTR. OK, $37k.

used GT-R's in that 50k price range you spoke of i wouldn't touch.

brand new 400+ HP Z for 50k or 2009 GT-R with 30k miles for 50k.......now you're into expense maintenance part of owning the GT-R and wear and tear. plus not knowing how the previous owner treated it is always a factor.

it's like when you start dating a new chick. she could have been gang banged by a whole pro sports team and you could never know.....until you pay for it later :stirthepot:

Decently optioned, you're probably pushing 60k for the Vette. I don't think Njobe is talking about new vs new though. I think he's just referrign to all car options in general including used for 50k which is a whole lot.

you are correct

I see where he's coming from and yea, the options are there if putting 50 large down for a car. 50 is going to be around my budget, and I wouldn't spend that kind dough on anything used. No way. I'm not rich obviously. In addition the Z is a VERY niche car. 2 seat coupe. So if you stick with that setup, and throw out used, you can forget German or Italian for that $, so for $50K with 400+hp, yea why not? On a side not Hyundai has pretty strong rumors of a beast to replace my current Genesis. Could be a legit Z fighter. Competition is always a good thing.

competition is always good, if it doesn't start sky rocketing the price :D

That being said, as a GT, peanut butter leather, NAV, sunroof, hands free everything back seat (never used nor will it be), 350HP, 8 speed auto, monster on the roll and the tech..I can lock, unlock, lights, horn, see where my car is via tracker, start the engine all from my iphone plus Bluelink which works flawlessly and CAN take 87 octane (Mine has never seen it but it can) for $34K OTD. THAT is BANG for the buck. If Hyundai IMPROVES on that...WOW.

Edit: on a side note. Still not impressed with the looks of the GC. From the back I think it's hot, only angle. With my 370 I used to look at it after I parked it, thing is goddamn sexy. Something I rarely do with my GC. I hope they improve on that.

i think that hyundai did a good job on that honestly. all the bells and whistles and it's not over priced.

The second one could be better, but the looks alone kill it for me. I know looks don't affect performance but it's an important part to buying a car. Looking at the Z still makes me smile which more expensive cars like the G and M don't make me do and that has intangible value to it. So the Gen may be a better value, but if it doesn't make me smile, then it's not worth it. I'd rather spend more and be happy then spend less but still a lot and then be dissatisfied. That being said, that's just me. If the Gen makes you smile and happy, then it's all good and a great deal.

i just hate those fake hood vents that they have... every time i see them i want to punch the person who made it.

Yea, those vents...its a sore spot in GC community. In any event, theres going to be a handful, TOPS, more likely 3 niche sport car coupes to choose from $50K +/- a few grand. The Z, the GC,...ummmm. Ok, two, lol. "Definitely" 2. In quotes cuz nothing is 100% but these are the two most likely. Not sure if thats enough competition. Ill never buy a Camaro, I dont care if it shreds a Turbo S. The only Mustang Id even consider is the the 350GT RS, or whatever its called but way out of my price range I bet. I dont want an M235 either and cant afford an M4. So...Z or GC it is.
