I am a huge Z fan. Ive owned 2 350z's and a Nismo 370z. What I suspect if the new Z is released and they don't cut from the lineup (its always a possibility) is the following.

Nissan has made numerous comments about a revolution not evolution as well as a lighter more compact car. I actually test drove a BRZ the other day for fun and the size felt ok for my 5"9 150 pounds but I couldn't imagine that car for a larger person. The new Z will need to be larger then that but still retain a weight of 3000 pounds or under to compete with a 4 cylinder turbo option.

That being said the BRZ weighs around 2700ish pounds. With 200hp it is very slow.
If the new Z can shoot for a sub 3000 weight and having a lower end 4 cylinder turbo option with 240-260hp and a V6TT option with around 400hp they would then beat out the FRS/BRZ with the lower end and the mustang/Camaro end with the upper end.

Pricing would need to be appropriate like below
Base Z35- $28,000-$31,000 (4 Cylinder Turbo)
V6TT Z35- $38,000- $45,000 (6 cylinder turbo)

Lol.... try this thread from5 and 9 months before yours.

Joking on the analogy, well I guess that dude had it even before I did for a guess for motors/price. Smart man!!

This pic makes me worried if the Z looks like this. Besides the widow/cabin top shape and squished z34 headlight it kinda looks like a new civic in a way.

I keep seeing people saying that the car can't be 3100-3300 lbs and have 400hp for 45k. I think it absolutely can. If you're comparing it to the 58k BMW m2 with similar weight and 370hp remember you're getting their dry **** in your *** based on their logo.....because bimmer right?

A sporty Nissan is a different story. Honestly the price won't matter for me it's just going to be based on looks. The weight and power will be bang on and options will hopefully finally be updated.

I dunno. I think if they were to flip the emblems it might look alright. Or shed them, for weight loss ...

Yeah, I don't like it either. The one concept I liked:

If this is any indication, I'm worried...

I hate that grill so much. And they're putting it on all of their cars, while giving them all the same raised haunches as the GT-R.

brucelidat · 07-20-2016, 11:50 AM

I don't expect the z to lose much weight. If anything it may drop like 40 lbs so they can say it got lighter. I expect it to basically get the same hp engine trims as the q60. Maaaaybe a bit more in the Nismo, butI doubt it. That would hurt the image of the q60 I think.

JC-Nismo · 07-20-2016, 01:00 PM

Scratching my head on this one!!!
I don't hate it, but....... a Z or Altima coupe maybe???

Nissan is a HUGE company. They have the $, the machines and the manpower. Id like to see a Hybrid Z. 400+hp all in, loaded for $45K.
