But...the people in here are dreaming to much. We are dreaming of power to weight ratios that even cars 3-4 times more expensive can't come close. Lol.

Be realistic, a 3100-3300 lb z with 450 horse at 45k? That's very unrealistic. We live in a day and age where safety comes first and more and more safety equipments are shoved into our cars, it's only going to get heavier. If the power to weight ratio people are asking for is so easily attainable at the price everyone wants.....

Acura/Honda would've done it to the NSX and not make it a giant 3800 lb 570 hp car. Lol. At the power to weight everyone is dreaming of, you guys can wipe the floor with a 180k super car with a moderate tune and mods. Lol. Be real guys...stop dreaming.

I don't see a full production model with warranty being produced with those numbers and price range. Hint.... Porsche GT4... 85k....2900 lbs 385 hp....dream big but be realistic.

I'm sure years ago when the Mustang GT guys had a 305hp motor someone saying next year the engine will have 425hp... They would have all said no way that's exotic car horsepower... THen the engine drops in.


My guess is the Z will be around 3200 pounds and the motor will be increased slightly (415-420hp) as they always give the Z a little more power then the G/Q platforms. THis will be for V6TT model.
4 cylinder will probably have 240hp and weigh 2900 pounds and the Nismo version will have 440hp
