More info on the next 370Z

Antistupid

I remember when I had my 07' HR. I could run the new Mustang, most of them bolted and roll on them with no issues stock. And I got 25mpg doing it. The Z, if talking numbers isn't to par with its price range now. Even the mustang is taking to the road-course well these days. The Z needs power. There are a few v6s NA making more power surely Nissan can deliver from the VQ line if it wanted to. Or they could put some small turbos on it and make it a really nice tuner car like the older BMW 135's. This is my second, and while I like the 370 more than my 350, Ill more likely also opt for something with more power, par handling, and back seat next time. Unless Nissan gives me the 400HP option within the correct price range.
I grew up with a Mustang collector as a father. He rocked a 67 GT, and a 65 289. I had the 71' Mach 1 and use to low whooping the kids who had daddies shinny new mustang out for a drive. I don't know about everyone elses 370s, but mine cant hang with the 5.0 lol. This makes me sad, and promotes a condition I call, spend to you win. Wife hates it

OR if Nissan wants to start talking upping the cash requested, then they need to offer this 2 seater as a match for vette, and well lol.

Considering the HP to weight ratios for the price range of the car I don't think it's that bad.

Personally, I've never liked Fords and I think Mustangs are horribly ugly. Not only that but every kid from 17 to 21 owns one with the same exact exhaust system as the next one.

I love the Z culture, and I could agree that they need to up the HP on them but if they do I know they will only higher the price tag. Only time will tell.

As much of a mustang/camaro hater I am, I honestly only hate on them because of their popularity (I know its a stupid reason, but it gets stale seeing 10 of them in a 2 miles radius). But I really like the rear of the new mustang. Damn it looks hot. And does upping the hp always need to increase price? the new 5.0 shed off 200lbs and upped the power to 435hp and starts of at 32k, I think the previous 5.0 started off at the same price as well? very tempting, I guess thats why they sell well.

Well that's part of the Z culture is it not? I see 350s every now and again but around where I live I almost never see a 370z. I can't even tell you when was the last time I saw a 370z that had any mods. Now I've seen 16 modded mustangs on my way to work. Same thing with the camaro. Especially if you ride in a bad neighborhood around here, every other house is a mustang or camaro.

I think it's easier to squeeze HP out of a V8 over a V6. Like I said, I can be wrong and I am most surely a fan boy of the lineage. Just if they were to add HP, it would be a bigger V6 or turbos. Both to me would up the price.

Said it before will say it again, Only Mustang I would like is a GT500. Now thats muscle. Probably get bored of the wheel spinning and stuff after a few months mind...

NoLaKrewe

Yes, I don't see those often at all. Ironically though, when I was younger I out raced one in my Civic Si. Since I was young, dumb and doing something illegal I won't go into it. But I spanked him, as he was trying to show off in his brand new car for his wife but it appeared he had no experience with a stick or driving. I've come a long way and dont advocate racing besides on a track.

I love Mustangs, but I didn't wait to buy one because Ford was taking forever with the specs. And for the record, the new GT weighs ~150lbs more than the previous car. Yes, it has power over the Z, but I wasn't about to buy a sports coupe that weighed more than my AWD, turbo sedan.

Power is good, but a lower weight is easier in turns. I think the Z would be perfect with an NA 3.8L or 3.9L VQ that revs to 8000rpm and lays down 375-400hp with the same weight or slightly less.

Personally, I would like to see the Z lose about 200-300 pounds and gain about 60-80HP. So your idea sounds nice.

Hopefully this isn't bad news for the future Z but it sure sounds like it is.
