Upcoming Update to the Nismo?

UNKNOWN_370 · 12-23-2011, 09:46 AM

For 2013, the NISMO needs to be 380hp and our regular Z's need to be 360hp. I won't benefit from the upgrade but at least our Z's will be more respectable. A certain budget company is coming out with a 345hp coupe and the HP battle must be fought. I would also like to see further weight reduction in the Z. Even if its just 32 lbs so we can hit the 3200lb even mark on base manuals.

i'd want that over a BS face-lift. The Z's are still the hottest looking affordable cars on the road.

To be honest, I feel even though they are competitive price-wise, they are technically different categories for cars. One is a more raw, lighter 2-seater sports car, and the other one is bigger, heavier, and more for the family person who still wants a sporty way of getting around.

Sorta a different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
