Perhaps the site is, but Zedlister the member with a grand total of 75 posts would not be considered a worthy news source.

Discussion will be closed if it cant be kept on topic

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.

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...

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.

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

No, it won't. In fact I can't see it being anywhere near the base GTR. If they bumped the HP and added suspension packages on the current platform, it still won't take it to $100,000. A loaded 2015 Nismo is just shy of $50k, it won't cost an additional $50k to added some performance upgrades. The Z, in my opinion, should be in the $40-$60k range and compete with the corvette, like the Z32 did. That's my hope for the Z35. Who knows.

Note that I'm not saying the current platform is worth $60k, I'm saying the new one should go upmarket.
