I think the $60k Z will be the 500HP Z. Rightfully so...

I just hope that any new 3.0 litre Z car costs the same or less than the current 370, even if it has somewhere in the region of 400hp. Personally I think Nissan will give the new Z significantly less than 400hp (maybe 370hp?), leaving themselves with room for successive power hikes, as the years go by. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm not trading my Z34. I'm adding a Z35

Regarding the talk of a 304hp base model, I think this means we'll see the return of the VQ35 into the Z. Longitudinal version of what we've seen start in the Maxima and proliferate through the Pathfinder, QX60, Murano, and Altima. This also means that the VQ37 will be completely finished by 2018 after the exit of the 370Z and Infiniti QX50. End of an era, indeed.
My concern is that the base V6 model may be the only place to find a manual transmission if one is offered. I absolutely hope to be wrong here, but I can see that fitting. Hopefully Nissan realizes that at least the 304hp and 400hp version of the car absolutely require a manual. A hybrid version making 500hp-ish... I can see the case where they stick to using the DCT exclusively. Come to think of it, I can't think of any car south of $100k that offers a manual transmission mated to a hybrid configuration at all. |

Dude... no lie... the Cayman GT4 is one of my favorite sports cars of all time. I got to sit in one at my Father-In-Law's Porsche show (he has a 911 Turbo), and I was immediately hooked. I might have hurt his feelings when I told him I liked it more than the 911 as far as seating position and styling goes.

The base engine, if there is one, is going to be the same twin turbo 3.0L found in the Q. Or...a higher output version of the 4-cylinder Mercedes-based engine which is producing up to 375hp in their cars. That would match what Ford has done with the Mustang and MB has already said they're working on a new high output 4-cylinder. They (MB) get increased revenue with no R&D and Nissan gets a somewhat lightweight and potentially powerful 4-cylinder mated to a DSG gearbox. Take a test ride in an Audi S3 which is every bit as quick as the current Z with more bang/buck when it comes to mods (short of going forced induction on the Z). If they do have a 300hp version of the 4-cylinder, it'll piss off the Q50/60 owners that get a 200hp version of the same engine. Maybe they'll be getting a bump followed by bumps for the "base" 3.0TT and RS version. Wishful musings. Still, I think the base engine will be the VR30DETT. That's where they've put all their R&D $$$.

True, but you only have to go back to the Z33 - 350z in 2003/4, which started at 279hp and gradually crept up to 313hp, by 2007/8. I like it when Nissan do that to their engines.
