By the time you get to $55K I think it is time for that C7 Corvette. More power and less weight.
The 3.0 T sounds realistic. And still that C7 Corvette sings it's sirens call.

No more need to speculate with the show a month away.
The Z will always be in a hard place to sell due to it's position ad a 2 seat v6 coupe. In the price range it sits... People upcompare or down-compare the Z all day long. Compare stock to modded and the all too common v6 is slower than v8 comparo. The best part is that many people expect a 332hp v6 with 270lbs tq to be equal or superior to 420hp with 400lbs tq. I just hope what was speculated in the jay Leno documentary comes to existence. I don't need to be the fastest car on the block. I just want the most balanced pkg for the money....

I would go for the small turbo and here's why-
AMG, now owned by Mercedes has a beast of a 2.0 liter turbo that would take a lighter weight Z into new territory. Power to weight ratio will plummet along with lap times. SEE ENGINE ARTICLE Nissan will be building Mercedes Engines in TN, USA by the time the Z goes into production. SEE NEWS ARTICLE You want to sell more cars to Americans then manage your supply chain costs based on proximity to your customers. I think Nissan will give a lighter weight, smaller, better looking, and much higher performance version of the Z this time around since it is expected to pay tribute to the 240Z which raised the bar significantly once it was released. |

voted 3.0T here.. Although I have no intentions of getting rid of my Z anytime soon as I am just finishing my build, and when I am ready to move on I doubt I would buy another Z unless its something really special.

If they make different engine sizes they wont name the car nismo 380z trt300z turbo 240z turbo etc the would probably just call it a z or zsx or z35 or something like that
