How Many Years Before Remodeled Z

They should give it more power boost by 2011. I mean the mustang got one really quick. Their new 5.0 engine seems really good. It went from 315 to 412hp. Come on nissan, how about a little more juice.

I don't see it happening that fast. Nissan usual drops new motors in the Infiniti line before we see them in "regular" Nissans...for example, we saw the 3.7 in the G37 coupe before it made it to the Z. The 2011 Infiniti M still uses the 330-hp version of the 3.7 V6 (no DI or any other power bumps), so I'd be surprised to see any significant changes for the 2011 Z in the power department.

And you can forget ever seeing a V8 in the Z. That puts the car into a different segment altogether.

I'm not a fan of the Z31 or Z32 bodies at all. They don't feel "Z" to me. I would hope Nissan never goes that direction with the line again.

I'll agree on the Z32, I think that body style pretty much shat upon the Z heritage for sure.

Wish they would use DI. Every other manufactures are using DI and even in there own line up other than the Z.

Not real quick, it took years for the Mustang to come back to the 5.0 from the 4.6.

I don't see the Z getting too much more horsepower in the coming models. But a Turbo or SC option with factory warranty would be good!
