^^^ I don't know how much of that (if any) will pan out, but I'm certainly open to a PRHT or t-top option.

The predicted power output is no different that the current Z...

Note: That 60K price is in AUD not USD.

And a straight currency conversion won't be accurate either for an expected price of the car here.. Cars cost a lot more in Australia.

I like the idea of engine option plus targa !
I actually dont really care abt engine just wanna see the new z35 design,, they better not messy it up

Im thinking they will throw the merc benz motor in to cut costs of r&d on a new engine for a car that doesnt sell well.

Personally im putting my eggs in the ft1 supra coming out.
I havent seen a decent concept of the new Z yet. They have the ability to make something great but im thinking it will be a big fail.

Since you guarantee it, what do we all get if it's something else?

It may be one engine choice but my gueas ia the vq is done in the Z.

Its time to bring a new motor in. The Z needs to be turbo'd.
A v6 turbo should be the choice. And this single turbo setup wouldnt even compare to the GTR so there is no cross in products.
Keep the weight down to 3000 or less.

depends on the turbo. 26psi on one can do the same HP as a bigger one doing only 15psi.

my wrx 2.5L on the stock turbo (38lbs/min) did 22-23psi tapering down to 15psi at redline because it was so small. it made 335hp 396tq aw. that AMG is only really doing 300whp. thats a wrx at stage 2 boost (down pipe, CBE and CAI) which can last a life time at 18psi tapering down to 13-14psi.

Did something change I thought the 3.0L turbo from Mercedes was confirmed from more than one source.

Exactly this is what will most likely happen. I havent seen a confirmed by nissan aa they will release the concept before engine specs.

So the new Z will most likely be a merc benz in Nissan clothing. .. to me thats the end of the Z.

Im actually already leaning towards Toyota with the new supra anyway but its too bad the new Z may self destruct.

Idk if it will be a Benz in Nissan clothing. Only the motor will be Mercedes. Maybe the transmission too. Im also willing to bet that the motor won't just be all Mercedes. Im sure Nissan will tinker with the intake, head design, and stuff like that to better suit the Z. Who knows though.

Well idk wtf u guys r thinking, i dont want to be a troll, but if you put a German in a Japanese clothes, its still a F@(Kin German. Lol

I know that was speculated, but I don't recall any leaked insider info
