2.5 liter V12 SC TT -- I'll take it

Isamu · 09-21-2011, 09:27 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if they stayed in the 3 liter realm.. no smaller then a 3.0L tt...

who knows, maybe they are re-engineering the VG30Dett!!

Why are the nismo rays on every single concept/idea/vision of an upcoming z model to date? I love the wheels but I dont see the value in selling a future concept sitting on a current set of wheels. Nice to see the fangs are gone(for now).

If they continue the Zs (that's a big IF), I would put my money on smaller displacement with FI. This would help fuel economy while also keeping the car competitive with the Mustang and Camaro price. I would really love to see a slimmed down lighter version of the car.

a VQ30VHETT

sounds good bro

looking forward to see the pics

on the pics from the op, that rear image has IDENTICAL lines to z4 M.

lower displacement FI should be where nissan looks to go... get back to their roots. throwing a v8 up there would add weight to the car, make it even more nose heavy and completely go against the Z's pedigree. might as well slap a mustang badge on the front if we go big v8...

my $0.02...

like previously stated from past Z's and their renderings looking nothing like production but if the next gen Z were to looks like these then the 370z will be the 1st and last Z i buy.

Amen to that.

I would love to see a V8 Z. It'd be better able to reach to torque and power levels of its closest competitors across all RPM ranges. Forced induction would be nice too, but it would probably limit either low or high end power. In order for the Z to be dominant on higher speed tracks it will need a bump in engine capability, so that race teams can really have some room to increase power before thing like rods get bent and bearings spun.

I think the 370Z looks 100x better...
Very ugly looking especially that 300zx back.
Yuck! *spits*
