[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

Then why not get rid of the GTR, bump the horsepower on the new Z and sell more units. Im sure the GTR is not cash cow for Nissan. (that honor goes to the Altima and the Sentra I think).

The gtr is a 4 seater sports car.
Even though i hate a 4 seater , its easily the more preferred practical sports car i believe.
The z on the other hand is not a practical car for most.
gTR is targetting the right market segment. The gtr sells more than the z. Or so i believe. The gtr is a legend, so is the z. They both need to stay in its own place.

I wish for the z to have more power but if z gets into gtr territory , it would affect nissan. The z should only stay in the same competition as the camaros and mustangs. Anything more would affect the gtr.
I prefer the z over a gtr, but i would buy a gtr just for what its capable of stock. Nissan might not be doing everything right with the z, but they are spot on with the gtr.
Just my opinion

Agreed, but the 2016 Camaro has 455 HP and 455 torque. So the Z needs a power increase. And the Camaro is losing 200 pounds, adding performance dual-mode exhaust, configurable middle dash display, drive modes controlling exhaust/steering/tranny, and magnetic ride shocks.

The Z needs to step it up to keep up.

Just to keep the information correct, the Z over the last couple of years is selling about 7,000 cars a year in the US, it's on track to do the same in 2015. The GTR on the other hand has just recently sold it's 10,000th car in the USA since it's introduction. The Z sells way more units than the GTR.

Nissan's chief assistant did mention that they have to revolutionize the Z and not evolutionize it. He mentioned something about taking the Z back to its roots and said they need to make it more affordable.

I want the Z to grow in power and lose weight also but in my humble opinion I don't think it's going to happen. Realistically how many 3000 lb car with 350 HP are around thats about the same price as the Z? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there's any. The Porsche is at 60k.
