If the Z changes vision significantly, to be like a Mustang (muscle car), BRZ (boxter sized car), or genesis (4 seats/heavier) it wouldn't be a Z.

I agree with folks that would like to see a 6 CYL TT at 3,000 Lbs.

2014 Porsche Cayman S ? First 2014

What you're saying makes alot of sense.... since they do chase the porsche, here's a glimpse of the next-gen 2014 cayman S. looks like a 2.5 turbo is in the works?Porsche Cayman S Pictures ? RoadandTrack.com

Also, it was well known that the 5.0 is the faster car when you got your Z so I'm not sure what you were expecting.

As long as it's lighter with massive grip and sexy appeal.
I could not care if it's Turbo'd.

Didn't think it was big flames. I was just trying to diffuse the situation before it derailed this thread too much.

If it was all about raw numbers, everyone would drive like 3 different cars for their needs so there are definitely intangibles to owning and loving a car. I won't say my Z is faster than a 5.0 but I would definitely still rather have my Z.

Like i said im glad i leased the car because the 370Z didnt turn out to be what i expected, I dont know if having a sport package or anything would of changed my mind. Also Im talking about the 2013 Mustang coming out in the next month or two i was planning on waiting for before i got the Z.
I drove so many different cars even was going to be a wannabe baller and lease the M3 or C63 AMG but yes ive always loved the old school 240Z and my cousins had a twin turbo 300ZX and love the looks of the 370z for sure but in 3 years no more Nissan for me.

Now you are talking about a whole other class of vehicles. You sound like you still dont know what the hell you want and/or will never be happy.

You're a troll and a superbly uninformed buyer. You don't even understand the Z's purpose. Don't confuse my thread with a "I'm mad cuz the Z isn't faster than a 5.0 thread." This thread is based on the Z going a step forward from it's predecessor and not backward. While I'm explaining how other companies are improving there vehicles... It's only to show everyone else is progressive while the Z sounds like its going to scale back too far...

But our cars are niche cars and don't need to be directly compared to any redneck-rocket for sure... all this thread is about is hoping to make the Z progressively better and using what we do know to make logical assessments of the next-gen Z will be by use of nissan and competitor info.

On a lighter note, how's this for daydreams.

Next Z should aim to be like this cayman alpha at 1/4 the the price tag. Yep impossible but fun to think about.

Read the some more down the page about next gen caymans.

Looks like more rumors of 4 CYL with turbos due to more stringent regulations.

Auto industry changing to keep up with the times etc.
