Nissan can make a philosophical competitor for the Fr-S in a silvia type vehicle. I think it's time for nissan to make a $27k RWD lightweight 2800lb 270hp turbo 2+2 coupe so i can daily it anyway. :tiphat:

Nissan Z can be a 370hp 3100lb car. :excited:

VERY TRUE! I do think 370hp is a little high! That or dramatically increase its price but they would definitely be shooting themselves in the foot :shakes head:....Theyd roughly be in the '13 cayman $$ bracket :icon14:!
But yea, ideally the silvia should be their entry (FR-S competitor), Z being mid range (competing with say the low end porches), then the GOD :bowrofl: being their top tier exotic killer!

370Z still the best bang for the buck, imo. And for $5 grand in mods, can be made into a Beast!

With proper engineering, 100hp per litre is doable without being too costly. If we go Fi? Less of an issue.

I agree, without a doubt! Interestingly enough, im looking to put 5k in my stock Z! what would you "recommend" to make it the "Beast"?!?!

I understand what you're saying and I agree. It's a good car. I think it has the potential to be a great car. However, I feel that it's lacking in a few areas that can pull it into that corral.
