Better look at Corvette, Mustang, Camaro if you want raw "throw me back in the seat" torque with 12 sec 1/4's all day long. Or if you can afford it, go the Cayman/991 (3.4) route with 320 hp, mid engine, and high 12s via superior German engineering. The Z will lower its status as a "FR-S, Mustang V6/4-cyl-turbo, Miata" competitor....Nissan has dropped the baton. I will not look forward to the next Z.

I believe someone had quoted that same report from Autoweek earlier in the thread. The problem is that there are already a couple of other sources that have stated similar information, but with different specs, so we already have conflicting reports. The speculation it seems is running wild, and every car rag that even bothers to mention the Z seems to have their own take on what it will be. I guess at this point we are pretty much stuck with the same old info until Nissan finally opens up. Here's to hoping that what Autoweek is predicting proves to be false.
