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.

Nissan Z can be a 370hp 3100lb car.

Renault/Nissan together have more than enough knowledge when it comes to turbocharging. But the question is, do they have the money to build yet another sports car? And ditch that 2+2 crap, remember the 280ZX, ugh.

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

That's nonsense. Just speculative stuff and a rendering made with the Esflow concept.
