The next gen Z!

I guess I'm the only who saw the jay Leno visit to Nissan where that old guy basically says we're going lighter and more gas savings in mind..

No Dude I saw it too which is why I am saying everything I've said thus far. Yet everyone is spewing v8 comments. Nissan can't make a v8 powered Z handle that well with the current budget. It's a step in the wrong direction. A properly configured chasis and engine combo will kill porsche in the pockets and that should be Nissan's goal. Light weight, knimble, powerful, and bang for buck. Adding a heavy engine only makes muscle car dudes happy. Adding a powerful smaller engine wins races of all kinds.

Agreed 100%. We don't need a V8 in this car. A light powerful V6 would be great. Don't get me wrong I love V8s but I don't think I'd love one in my Z. If I had wanted a V8 car that has similar performance to our current Z I would have bought a Mustang.

I'm not a Mustang fan. It took them 4 billion years to get rid of the live axcel and when they did they practically charge corvette money for it. Puke-A-Licious

Truth be told if Nissan does not shock and awe me I will be getting a used Porsche or BMW M3 next. I would rather have an affordable racer though but we shall see.

Ditto, I'm pretty happy with the power and handling but I'm far from a racer or anything like that. But unless the next gen. Z is something outstanding I'll be going to BMW or even possibly a Mustang again.
