Expect the Z35 to feel more torquey due to boost. But also expect that 4 banger to run out of steam around 120-130mph... This Z doesn't begin to loose steam till 146mph. Even when it begins to lose steam @ 146mph. There's enough Hp to make it to the govonor quickly.That's my sport model. Maybe the extra 18 and marginally higher revs add more push to 155-160mph. These NA's hold a muscle car feel. The Z35 will feel more German-ish.

No one knows what the next model will have under the hood. I'd be a little surprised if they put a turbo 4 cyl in it, since the heart of the Z has always been a 6 cylinder. There are certain things that have to stay the same to keep it a Z.
I really am surprised they offered an auto version. Quicker or not, an auto isn't an enthusiast option. *Most* nismo buyers want a drivers car, and auto takes all the fun away. Rowing through the gears is where the fun is
