Im going to go against popular belief that excessive power is good. I'd rather see Nissan focus on improved chassis, better suspension, lighter car, etc. Would much rather have a 375 HP V6 powered 3000 lb sports car than an overweight V8 truck like a Camaro or a Mustang.

Maybe offer a turbo edition for those fixated on HP.

I doubt they would every go anywhere over 400 HP, it would be too close to GT-R territory.

I agree, I dont know if any of you guys remember but when the 370 was in the concept stages Nissan was shooting for a target weight of around 2900, I remember reading it in a CarandDriver article and saying to myself that would be real impressive. LOL not that it mattered anyway cause I still bought one.
