The speculation should just be that, No need to turn this into a penis contest.

The specs and reviews out for the 2015 Nismo from Z days can't remember if there are changes to the 2015 non Nismo models yet.

can it be a penis contest?

If the Nissan IDx becomes a reality and costs less than $30K... I won't mind the Z going upmarket and costing in the $50K range. That doesn't mean I'd be getting said Z... I'd probably buy the affordable IDx... but at least the Z could get nice things that would make it go faster and perform better.

I don't see why Nissan should compete against itself with two $30K sports cars. I'm also not a traditionalist who thinks the Z must be Nissan's cheapest racer because it's always been that way. As long as the price is justified by performance and Nissan still offers an affordable sports car, I'm good with it.

Seems like the IDx will give me the cheap option... and the Z will finally be worthy of it's inflating price tag. I've no problem with that: I don't have to own every Z that's ever made. Just a good sports car.

I could go for a boosted I4 in the IDx. As long as it's RWD and manual, that would be a fun-*** car.

I know it's asking for too much, since the IDx is Japanese and not American, but I hope they can somehow give the exaust a throaty tone that makes you proud to be a man. One that causes immaculate conception to all women in hearing distance, each time it's cranked or gunned.

But... you know... it's a Nissan...

That's what the aftermarket is for. 3" downpipe, and two 2.5" resonators.

noisy exhaust is not the 'thing' for the normal folk so i dont expect it to be loud at all.

even the G35C's exhausts were considered loud for those living in condo/apartments with garage structure parking.

The Z35 isn't going to base with a 211 hp engine, its lower than the 1900's; like saying its going to be diesel. Its going to have 375 & 400 hp for the NISMO. A 3.0 liter is too low, & Nissan isn't going to go lower than 3.5 liters. The line would collapse completely. Nissan will only go down to 3.6 liters & up to 3.9 liters.

It will probably have launch control, because of the Mustang 5.0, new TPMS with readouts,, faster gears (2015's), about the same weight, handling improvements, better brakes, & improved aero. The S2K & Supra aren't returning either. Toyota's model is already out, the FRS. The LFA replaced the Supra, hence FRS. Nissan already picked a fight with Porsche, it has to stay in it with the 911-991 C2, & C4. Expect a low 12's car & a 0-60 of in the high 3's.

But again, we all know the Z has a marketed 0-60 of 4.6 s; yet, I can ET 4.2-4.4 s...The Z is going to be in the high 3's, with being able to knock off some more time - no worse than 4.0 s, so yeah, 3.9 s (with a possible 3.7-3.8 s).

There's a lot of certainty coming from that crystal ball of yours. You shagging Ghosn's wife?

Huh? Can't the new Z have 3.0, 6 cylinder with a turbo? Mercedes has a 2.0, 4 cylinder turbo putting out 355 horses that push a 3,500 lb car to 60 in 4.4 seconds.

Remember, Nissan also understands turbo engines, they got a 3.8, 6 cylinder pushing 595 horses. So a smaller 3.0 turbo with taller gearing in the high gears or a 7th gear could help Nissan increase its mpg ratings city & hwy plus improve power at the same time. Also an engine like this could be used to power the Infiniti line of cars in the USA as well. Keep in mind, Infiniti is already using the 2.0, 4 clyinder turbo in Europe already.

The Mercedes engine with hybrid setup has pretty much been confirmed so I would come to terms with that. Also the rumored turbo four will most likely also have additional power from a hybrid setup so both versions will most likely best our z34's and should justify the rumored higher price tags.

Rumors aside, is the presumed reveal still happening in January or is there anything sooner on the horizon (end of Oct)?

Yeah, I wouldn't mind knowing when the reveal might happen. I think we're all starving for some concrete info on the next z.
