Regardless of what Nissan does with its Z-car redesign, we agree wholeheartedly that a redesign is necessary. The 370Z was a disappointment to most enthusiasts and it really is a far cry from the Z-cars of yesteryear. Kudos to Nissan for seeing a problem and fixing it. Now let’s see if Nissan can do this the right way without ruining its legendary Z-car.

I love my car... idk what this guys talking about.

it was leaps and bounds better then the 350z.

tho I will admit, I would love to see a new 300Z TT <3

Doing TT would vastly increase the price point and make it compete with luxury cars abd the Shelby and ZL1. That's what happened to the 300ZTT. I had one a long time ago. Plus I have ridden in 240, 260, and 280 models. The start price point of a TT z would be north of 40 some K. At that level they simply won't sell much to the market demographic they target.

they could do like they did with the 300ZX. Make an NA version, similiar to the current gen, and a TT version

or make the NISMO TT

If they downsize the engine and then add TT, they can keep the price the same. That's what a lot of manufacturers are doing with their cars these days.

even if they stick with teh VQ37.. the technology is there... just a lil r&D for OEM piping...

it would be cool to see a factory VQ with lil 16g's

I doubt they will stick with the VQ37 just for fuel efficiency reasons. Direct injection should also come into play for the next Z.

I was just saying they could... not that they would

Do You guys think a single Turbo Is possible? That would keep costs down.

probably a lot more r&d and tuning issues which would drive cost baack up.
unless they went inline 6

If they start with a brand new engine design, I don't see why not. I'm still hoping for a smaller displacement V6 config with some kind of forced induction. Who knows, maybe they go with a supercharger instead.

I'm also thinking Nissan will probably do away with the number designation and just call the car a "Z".

if they drop displacement, or move to FI.... I don't doubt that a numerical Z title will be removed..

I highly doubt the car will come from the factory with a single turbo.
