Lets pretend that its out! And it costs 60k for the TwinTurbo Z35 making 450HP. Would you buy it?

Only if it's got fully adjustable (or even magnetic/dynamic) coil-overs, awesome brakes, upgraded interior, killer looks (better than the 2015 NISMO anyway

), standard backup camera, is available in 6MT, has a nice aftermarket for boost mods, and won't blow apart when pushing 600+ HP.

I won't hold my breath.

Hell no...

That being said, you haven't given any specs other than boost, hp level, and price. For $60K it better have some serious weight reduction, significantly better cooling, and improvements to the clutch system. I'm thinking mainly about the CSC and CMC, but a nicer pedal would be great too (a linear one without a stupid helper spring).

And lets not forget that for that price the interior needs to be pretty damn immaculate. No one's going to pay for a $60K Nissan that doesn't feel like a $60K car on the inside.

Nissan is fuckin stupid, but I don't think they're quite stupid enough to push out a $60K Z. Maybe $50-55K for the absolute top end model with every option available, but the base model is going to have to be under $40K. And maybe even $30K to be competitive depending on which direction they take with it.

I think it has to be a bad source for them to report 60k. Nissan released the Z with the idea of it being an affordable sports car. 60k would bring it out of it being affordable.

Oh I dunno, plenty of people are willing to pay $110k for a Nissan that looks like a $15k Cobalt on the outside.

Looks are subjective. I wasn't really talking about interior styling. I was referring to features more than anything.

And I bet if Nissan put 600 hp in the Z plenty of people would pay to play as well...

But your wife is going to be driving a company car (Prius probably

). Would your HOA let you park all four in your driveway (since the garage is occupied)?

If Nissan comes out with a 4 cylinder Z producing around 400 HP for 60K look for this car to flop and do horrible in sales. That amount of HP is just not enough unless they are trying to compete with the civic and corolla. I hope Nissan can come to there senses and become competitive for us Nissan Z enthusiast so we can have an answer for the mustangs and chargers of the world. Nissan has to make a statement and drops a lighter 3.0 twin turbo 580hp rear wheel drive monster to keep up with today's sports cars. A twin turbo 580 HP rear wheel drive Z has a nice ring to it doesn't it.

I thought asking for "Space Thrusters" was unrealistic.....

Yes cause the Corolla and Civic have massive power.... the new civic Type R coming out soonwill only have 300hp and be a 4 cyl turbo... if the new Z throws a 300hp variant with similar pricing than any true car guy would choose the Z. Front wheel drive sucks, typically have understeer and fight the steering wheel off a launch... not to mention 100s of other reasons FWD is inferior to RWD or AWD.

The closest FWD cars to being a great track car were the Type R integra and Celica GTS(yes I've driven both) but they were both still short of hitting that mark.

Not a chance, might as well just save up a little more and get a Corvette, Porsche, or anything a top of the line Z28
