Which Z35 would you buy?

UNKNOWN_370 · 03-13-2013, 02:49 PM

So now that this thread calmed down. It looks like the perfect Z would have a:

3.0 turbo engine with about 370hp weighing about 3,000-3,100lbs
With an optional:
3.8 twin-turbo with approximately 480hp weigh about 3,300-3,400lbs

Judging by the low amount of people interested in a continuing 3.7 or a 4 cylinder turbo variant for a Z. I conclude that the best thing that can happen is that Nissan make a Silvia type car with a 4 banger turbo that can get close to replicating current Z on paper performance starting at $26,000 and at $38,000 they can build a Z that will build and improve on the current Z on paper performance. I think the best bet is the Silvia goes FWD/AWD option and weighs in at 2500lbs. The Juke is an astonishing 2800lbs for it's size, drivetrain and room. I think a Silvia type car can achieve 2500lbs and 250 turbocharged horses would make it a hoot to drive.

The Fr-S competitor can be the AWD model...

Look on the bright side. Nissan isn't the only car company out there.

If the Z does disappoint? We can try something new and different. After two G3*'s and two Z's. I can use something different.
But if Nissan steps up with some new high tech craziness we weren't expecting? Awesome.
Remember july 2008. We saw a Z concept/preproduction car that looked identical to a 350z but with a deeper sloping rear and new front en d that looked weird. That craziness of a next gen Z turned out to be the 370z.

A thread like this with a poll is made so when Nissan corp is doing market research and they are thread researching. They can see what are popular and unpopular ideas for the Z. Pipe dream or not. Someone in japan may be looking at this pole and saying, "We might be going in the wrong direction???"

When you don't vote on stuff and think negative? You don't help change. The point of this thread is to get the genpop to vote on what they would like to see in a Z. Not to wallow on what won't happen. Cheer up dude, There's a time and place for everything.

True I should stop being negative and thankful for whatever we get. Worst comes to worst another car company like you said.
