I don't think this does anything for Nissan. Prices you out of the BRZ market and will get its *** kicked by V8s.

I'll keep my Z34. This would be interesting if you dropped the weight by 300-450lbs. That'd be a badass car.

My Fast Intentions twins will spit out 550hp+ at the wheel. Change this to 550+hp and weight drop of 300. Tempting. Probably just keep my Z34. Rather get a sport model and install my own twins and if I'm spending $55,000 at a dealer there are other cars to consider...and oh...and the V8s would still kick your ***.

Nissan is in a hard spot for sure. The Z is getting squeezed from below and above. Frankly, I'd like to see them release a 4 cylinder under a different badge. 4 cyliinder turbo sub $35,000...V6 turbo Z with 550+hp and weight reduction at $50,000...and the GT-R. I'd rather the Z diverged from its 'affordable' roots than its V6.
