So why not cross platform with Infiniti V8 vs V6? Instead they talk about a smaller Nissan shared platform. Yadah, yahda, profit. Economics. Remove passion. I get it. I too think the car is brilliant for what it is.

 the Z is nissan's budget fun car and they have other plans to bring in higher end sport-coupes for infiniti unrelated to the Z.they are making a strong distinction between budget and luxury, GTR being their only exception. |

Nissan. Need to update the technology on all the motors. The VQ needs DI, with turbo smaller displacement @ 3.0 Power and Torque. With a lot the goodies oil sprayers, cooler, twin clutch. That would make the car fun and fuel efficient.
Heck my 2.0 DI turbo in my Sky made 300 whp 350 torque with tune and driving like a bat out of hell I could maintain 18 mpg. Boosting to 24 lbs. |

The current z model is comparable to a porche Boxster or cayman for half the price. I don't see why Nissan doesn't continue to refine the current iteration of the z instead of going with a smaller lighter version, I know i won't be buying a turboed 4 popper. I would however buy a turboed 6 cylinder
