Next Gen Z will likely have smaller engine.

sonic370 · 04-11-2012, 08:26 PM

have to disagree. next gen with have a 6 not a 8 i wish..
but it will have more HP not by much but a little...

most major upgrades imho will be inside and outside...

imo for better or worse the z is to nissian
what the vette is to GM..

i would say the GT-R but it's priced out of the range of your average 2 seat
sports car. your average sports car guy can't afford.

daisuke149 · 04-11-2012, 08:32 PM

honestly, i dont care what type of engine it is..

only important thing is that the next generation is better in all regards than this. In the end, thats what matters... that its a good all round balanced car regardless of the motor type.

brucelidat · 04-11-2012, 09:58 PM

I also don't care about engine size as long as it performs better. A factory turbo would be great, though for fuel economy vs a v8. Also, can probably squeeze more power out of turbos with a tune or upgrade turbos a supposed to have to turbo a NA engine.

juicypinkkk · 04-11-2012, 10:23 PM

I honestly don't see anything coming out until atleast 2015, so we have a lot of speculation ahead =p

brucelidat · 04-11-2012, 10:28 PM

yup, soonest I figure would be 2015 also. Maybe a new G in 2014 followed by a Z in 2015. So by 2017, all the bugs will be worked out and I will have owned my Z long enough to not feel like I am wasting too much money by trading up.

LakeShow · 04-11-2012, 10:35 PM

Good more time for us to enjoy our cars. Especially guys with 11' and 12's who recently got them in the past year or so. When you recently buy something you don't want to hear about a new one coming in like a year or so lol.

I most likely will get the next gen Z if it goes FI. But I REFUSE to give up my Z34. I will have to own 2 Z's.

^ I KNOW! lol. The 350z was my dream car, but I wasnt in a position to get it so now I have the 370, and to think its gonna be replaced soon is a nightmare ! haha

HAHA! Same here!! I wanted the 350 sooo bad and didn't get it so I got a CLK 320 instead... Although I loved the car... i felt like an old man driving it and I regreted the fact the I did not get the 350. But last year in March I finally traded my CLK for my 370 and loving every chance I get to drive it ; )

I still would like to see a detuned, mass produced, cheaper version of the GT-R engine. all the research is done and detuning is a whole lot easier than tuning for more power. If they are afraid that someone is gonna tweek it up to GT-R levels...well, they are already doing that with the current 370Z engine.

lazywolfe · 04-12-2012, 12:37 PM

I know it won't happen, but I'd like if they went down a little in displacement, went to 8 cylinders and put a turbo on it. Have it rev to 8 grand or higher.

Overall smaller car wouldn't be bad either.

daisuke149 · 04-12-2012, 12:42 PM

a 3 to 3.4 liter high revving v8 could also make alot of power NA... make that a turbo and it would be a beast... mmm.

ZMan8 · 04-12-2012, 01:01 PM

Turbo or TT 3.0 is all it needs. That will get it close or more than 400 hp. Make it 3100 lbs.

so hopefully next gen Z we'll have a name 300ZT or 300ZTT

Rooster89 · 04-12-2012, 02:04 PM

This just in. Nissan and Ford have reached an agreement. Expect a 500z with 420hp.

trollololol
