As a DD I beg you to find a flaw against the the 370. IMO, it's a MUCH better DD. There is literally nothing a Z does better as a DD than a 3.8. Again, IMHO, the 3.8 is better in the overwhelming majority of DD activities for 90% of performance for 10k less. Now going to the track...

OK but you're contradicting yourself. You want Nissan to make a DD Z EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW!!! ITS NOT A DD CAR!!

Let's get down to brass tax. I have a DD.N I still DD my Z on n off. To me I can DD almost anything. So what you consider DD is subjective. I drive fairly aggressive. I prefer sport position when I drive ALL the time. I TRADED a G37s for a Z. N I didn't opt for all the wacky doo tech junk I had in my infinit. That should tell you a lot.

So yeah,if you like DD'ing 2+2 coupes more? U got NO BUSINESS HOPING FOR A BETTER Z.

It seems Nissan already made your car right now. The Q60 coupe.

Fair enough. I have Volvo S60 that is SUBLIME. Fall sleep in the bastard it's so comfy. My 13 Z was ROUGH. Actually rougher than my 350z. With less tech. How that's possible is beyond me 8 years later. And comfort. I want my 3.8 comfort, Z speed, and FUTURE Genesis tech in a Z35 for $36k. Not base. Now. Leather. Baseball glove stuff. NAV. Home link, NAV, phone integration (I can do all sorts of stuff with my phone to the car. Start. Track, lights). I have all that NOW minus a couple ticks in performance. I EXPECT the Z to to have that in its next model obviously. I've been doing it for two years. Gimme all that and make up for the ticks I lost.

Well then the 300hp Z will work for you. If it is 3,000lbs or less? It will be at least 550lbs lighter than your current car and I'm sure the gearing will be aggressive enough to **** all over your Genny once again.

Or you can lose another 50hp and get the 4 banger. That may be slower than your Genny but will still out handle it.

400hp is for the money men. Expect the new Genesis to be infiniti prices. So u may be stuck in a Kia coupe or different less powerful Hyundai RWD coupe?

And there is the argument. You're fighting history and yourself. 2008 Z34 broke boundaries for price and performance. I'm hoping they do it again. That's all. Let's see what they come up to stay AHEAD not competitive, but ahead of the game.

Realistically I don't see anyone doing what GM has done in the price range any time soon. Chevy has a lot of v8 powered cars around the world. The Nissan is limited by comparison sales volume. If Nissan can keep up? Then they're doing great.
