Now, back on topic I wish I could get some intel on the next Z but I'll speculate with the best of them. The next gen GTR will have a new engine producing 800hp. That leaves this motor as a left over that could be shoved into the Z35.

Yeah... better stock exhaust note. Oh yeah, and I want those red Recaros out of the '15 Nismo. That would be $$$.

380Z Makes a lot of senses. it even sounds right

240z (2400cc), 260z(2600cc), 280z (2800cc), 300zx (3000cc), 350z (3500cc), 370z (3700cc), and they are all 6 cylinders.

380z sounds good. 380 hp and 320 torque would be awesome. Maintain the high quality of the interiors and reduce 200 lbs and it should be good to go.

One can hope and dream. But are you aware if Nissan pulled this off, you're talking almost exact numbers to a Porsche 911S?

That being said, if Nissan did create this for under $50k, I'm in.

Agree. Instead of being a poor man's Cayman, I wish the next Z to be a poor man's 911.

I don't see the car getting much lighter unless they start using expensive materials. You can thank safety standards and accessories for that. You want a lightweight sportscar but you also want power windows. heated seats etc.

Its obvious from the thread Nissan needs to go back to Z31/32 ideology of having 2 engines. I think they should keep the vq for people who are stuck in the vq era. And a 3.0T for people that want to get hardcore with modding the engine and appreciate having a pre-piped FI vehicle.

My personal taste would be... If NA power was my main interest? I'd be waiting on further pony car news. in the naturally-aspirated world, there's no replacement for displacement. Which I have my eyes and ears out for the C6 camaro as well. Rumors are that chassis is dropping 300-500 pounds with the alpha platform

Me, personally, I love the Z for so many reasons. But that's another thread right there. But if the Z doesn't not meet my expectations. I will finally have to break a life-long rule. I will pay more than $45,000 for my sports car. I am going delve into the arena of 2015 low end supercars.Porsche 911 GT-3, Meredes-Benz C63 AMG, Jaguar F-type R and Corvette Z06. Value for $$,$$$ seems to be decreasing in the current affordable car market. And if the next gen Z is as gimmicky as the 2015 mustang. I gotta spend more money to play. Me and the wife divorced so my finances are free to get deep in the game. Bye BYTCH!!!!

part of me hopes nissan doesn't put a 3.0 turbo int he next Z so I won't be tempted to losea bunch of money trading in...

Davey · 07-23-2014, 03:57 PM

I promised I would keep my NISMO for 3 years... I figured that's one to enjoy it and two to see how the new model shakes out.

I would love to see them put that truck V8 in a Z, but I'm a sucker for V8's.

370zrider · 07-23-2014, 05:28 PM

I think the V6 3.0 turbo would be very interesting.
But again, Nissan has been following a path of 300zx with a 3.0lt, 350z with a 3.5lt, 370z with a 3.7lt so, somehow people would expect to keep a continuation of this and it could be a non-handmade 3.8lt NA.

Whatever the engine is, if NISSAN doesn't fix the lack of torque and exhaust note, because of not having appropiate cooling, torque restrictions in the ECU and so on…. it will simply be the same 370z story.

Prolly be a 3 litre turbo. Similar to the 335 twin scrolls no doubt.

Future Cars: Nissan's Next Z Coupe Takes On An Illustrated Diet

The author claims the 350Z was closer to the orginal 240Z than the current 370Z. Does he mean numerically?
