With the Z going deeper into the 240z TIMELESS design. I don't think the next Z will be ugly at all. One thing Nissan has never done is make an ugly Z. We might have had Z's in the past that got too luxury and not enough sport? Too heavy and not enough balance... etc but we never got a car that was too ugly.

While looking back in history, the 280zx was probably an ugly car. In 1980, people initially liked the design. It was kinda like the Camaro. Everyone loved it in 09/10, but 11 came and people quickly got tired of the design.

The new Nissan/Infiniti cars aren't giving me much hope for a great looking Z, especially the 2013 refresh.....

I like the idea of the Nismo option but I think the 3.0T has better value. Approaching that Nismo price range, I would be inclined to go with the C7.

The only one that's going to happen is 3.

A Nismo for $55,000! Save a little more for a used GTR.

It's still NOT a new car though. That matters to some and the Z would be 400 lbs lighter.

It might be DI?

I didn't hash out all specs. lol I just knew the 3.7 HAD to be DI in order to continue.
But don't get too hung up on TT vs TSST (Twin scroll single turbos). The BMW 135 started out with a TT... Through extensive research and design, BMW found the TSST, to put down as much power, was more efficient and way more reliable than the TT. Power was the same and power delivery was much improve giving the engine response a sportier feel. Bimmer was able to eliminate turbo lag through expert tuning. BMW's TSST is their best engine in a sub $60k car. Don't sleep on TSST and look at the superficial number of turbo's.
