The z is supposed to be more performance oriented and less luxury than the q60 so if the q60 is a M fighter, the Z should be also. I AM NOT talking about fighting the M in lux, but performance. Being a poor man's Cayman S got NIssan horrible sales. Most poeple shopping for Cayman S's aren't looking at Nissans. Guys looking at Mustang GTs and maybe Vettes might look at a Z so it should be in line with them in terms of performance (which puts it in line with the m4 as well).

I think it needs to put doubt in the C7, M4, and Cayman S. Forget the GT4. The Z33 re-ignited this all and ran with the E46 M, and was toe to with the Boxster S. Lost a bit of ground with the Cayman S (and the Z34 still does thanks to P cars upgrades where as Nissan left the Z the same). It needs to come CLOSE to these guys. Not in lux, very close in tech AND performance to have a C7 buyer curious about saving $30k.

Yes, I posted sales numbers earlier between C7, Cayman, Frs & Z. The sales numbers show that the Z should compete in C7 category. I don't think Nissan can do it for $30k less but I get what you're saying.

I believe a TT v6 with over 400hp is very doable for Nissan and could it be called the new VR30 engine?
