Most cars are international collaborations nowadays, from design teams to parts manufacture to final assembly.

Regional cultural traits are (nearly) irrelevant. Today's manufacturers play globally, and the thing that motivates is profitability.

CSC warranty issues are separate from designing a sports car but I understand your logic behind what you're saying.

Yeah I know the early 2017s wont be any different. I should have clarified that its this current generation of Z's is mostly what I was referring to as opposed to a specific year. The new Z, when it finally comes out, will be the first year of the new generation and I have a feeling I wont be at all disappointed that I didn't wait for the new one to come out.

Check out my new thread in the other vehicles section. I think I found a clue to the Z being built on a new chassis. If Nissan makes a modular chassis? There goes everyone's negative theory about why is Nissan going to make an Lol new chassis for a low selling car???

Your possible answer is, the modular chassis will save Nissan money by building a family of cars off of one chassis??? No need for a FWD chassis like the D platform and then the RWD chassis on the FM platform. They will all be done on the same platform.

Next generation Juke built on modular chassis!!!

Supra will match better against the GT-R most likely. And people have been talking about it coming back since 1 hour after the last one left the production line.

I was following the FT1 forums for a while and last I read Toyota released dollar amount figures being in the mid 50ks. If Toyota use their V6TT and have around 460-475hp and the new Z gets low 400s I would say it would be like the 90s 300zx vs Supra TT days. The Z will be slightly cheaper but all in all will be direct competition. The GTR at this point will be wayyy ahead of where the Supra will be positioned.

There was talk of the Supra being a hybrid at one point, electric motors for the front wheels and gas/electric for the back. Then again, that's been said about the GTR, too. I'll believe it when me **** turns pink.

I do know that I will never want a hybrid sportscar. If I'm going to buy an impractical car, I want it to run on the tears of baby seals. Front-mid engine, RWD, V6TT, 6/7speed manual, max 3200lbs, same outer dimensions/wheelbase, nicer interior and I'll be a happy man.

I can't help but to wonder how much the internals will handle with more boost with this new motor... I wouldn't think squeezing another 100hp out of it would be an issue with a chip, downpipes, intake, and exhaust..

I agree, the 350z had 240ish wheel hp and could handle around 400 wheel hp comfortably so I would assume Nissan would at least makean already forced induced motor with fairly strong internals.

I was thinking how it's funny a lot of doubters saying a 3000-3200 pound 400hp Z couldn't exist for 36-45k. Who would have thought you could ever buy a 435hp car for 29k brand new. (Mustang GT, yes I saw on autotrader for this price brand new)

As for the weight, it's already an impractical car with a 2 seater. The FRS with a backseat weighs around 2700 pounds. We have heard the Z possibly getting smaller so theoretically Nissan could make a 3000+ or- pound car.

Don't we already have forged iternals? And our motors can already handle 500/600 without much done internally?

Default $60K for next new Z35?

We have a forged crank. Everything else is weak sauce.

Forged internals on the 370? Ummm definitely not...

Plus the biggest thing on a high compression engine going with an aftermarket turbo setup is a great tune. Internals upgraded would be a piece of mind for sure but a tune that doesn't blow the motor up would be a good investment.

Years ago putting forced induction on a high compression motor wasn't the most wise decision but they definitely came a long way with tuning!
