Next Nissan Z Scooped

Everyone would rather see a smaller v6 turbo instead of a 4, but I doubt they would do it because it might feel like it's getting too close to the gt-r. I know it wouldn't be that close, but they want to keep the 2 cars very separate I think.

I used to see that point but every year the GTR just keeps getting faster and more powerful. At this point even at it's current weight if they dropped in a 400hp motor it still would be far slower than the GTR. Even at it's proposed 2900lbs if it had a V6TT with ~400hp it would still be far slower than the GTR. Even a modified V6TT with 500hp would still be slower than the GTR simply because the Z lacks AWD. The simple fact is the Z won't come close to the GTR for that argument to hold water anymore. When the GTR was 80k and only had 480hp I could understand but at the current level of the GTR it's so above and beyond the Z that Nissan could give the Z some extra grunt without worry.
