what did you expect, GT-R performance in a Z package? nissan would never raise the Z up to that level as it would hurt the sales of the GT-R...i for one am glad they are starting to get back into the swing of things with always being the more sporty car company out of the big three out of Japan...i mean c'mon they (Nissan) are doubling the amount of performance oriented cars within the next 5 years, what else do you want?!

Default 2 options

I hope they offer two drive-trains.

A V6 with a bump in HP to 350-360 ,maybe using 3.5L turbo'd, and a Nismo version turbo'd that puts out 365-375.

And then a four cylinder drive-train (2.0-2.5) turbo'd version and produces 235hp with a Nismo version that puts out 245-250.

I might be hoping for too much but it gives everyone a choice if they want a killer V6 like we have now, or a lighter more nimble and more economical sports car that will kill the competition in the segment.

Sounds like you want the Z to become a Hyundai Genesis coupe
