Plus the biggest thing on a high compression engine going with an aftermarket turbo setup is a great tune. Internals upgraded would be a piece of mind for sure but a tune that doesn't blow the motor up would be a good investment.

Years ago putting forced induction on a high compression motor wasn't the most wise decision but they definitely came a long way with tuning!
The only issue with tuning a high compression motor is that you can quickly run out of room unless you upgrade turbos. That's the reason a large number of the turbo Minis run meth. There is some power to be had there but nothing insane with tune and standard bolt ons alone.

"same performance" was referring to 981 cayman s vs 991.2 carerra base. :tiphat:

That would be great if Toyota sticks close to the FT1 concept but the new supra and new Z are both Top Secret except some little bits and pieces.

Things for sure about the new Supra is it will share a carbon chassis with the BMW Z5 collaboration.
It will most likely use a Lexus V6TT that will be found in the IS-F that is around 465-475hp.
I have heard reports it will look nothing like the FT1 concept.

So I would assume that Nissan will let the cat out the bag about 3 months prior to the Z35's release....They don't do it 6 months or earlier....because they don't want to give potential customers anxiety, because it's like a double edged sword: If the diehard Z people are anxiously awaiting its release, they don't want to disappoint them by any sort of delays e.g. bugs, underdevelopment, potential safety recalls, etc. Or, if it's those people who never owned a Z i.e. pretty much those who aren't loyal to any make, they will veer towards a different car if that one is better than the new Z. In other words, they don't want to give diehard Z people blueballs, but are also afraid of getting upstaged by another automaker.
The other reason is they don't want to kill sales of the existing model earlier than necessary.

That's why we all have TWO kidneys; so we can sell one to get a new Z. :roflpuke2:

But I guess we could dream that Nissan will make a whole new chassis for the Z and it could be sub 3000lbs. Even if they are making something to that extent I don't see it coming out for a long time, like some have said in this thread R&D takes up a boat load of time.
Why are you assuming they're just starting? The current Z has been out for 8 or 9 years. Don't you think they've been working during that time?

Keep dreaming bro. Lol. That's all I can say. It ain't gonna happen because with those numbers the performance is close to GTR performance. Nissan has already said, if you want performance go GTR and stop hanging around the Z.
So Nissan should just cede the entire sports car segment, resigning itself only to selling a few thousand cars that cost 100k? BS.

Some of us prefer pure sports cars, not video games with massive amounts of computer aids, AWD, and zero feel. Not to mention the GT-R eats tires and brakes, massively increasing the cost of ownership.

Until it happens, I don't think your wish will come true. Just accept the fact that the Z is probably not gonna change much. Might as well get your Z now before it shrinks in SIZE and POWAH and then you'll really bitch and complain.
We're in a Renaissance of muscle/sports cars and you think Nissan will have the 370Z out for almost 10 years and the succeeding model will be down on power? What are you smoking?

You are fairly lost in the concept Ricer is bringing up. He's using the evolution of muscle as an example of how technology can change suddenly....

But you're too agenda driven and argumentative to even grasp a well thought out analysis. You're just going in circles with what is purely a poorly thought out speculation.

Now it may all be speculation from every one of us, but some of us have a grasp on what's going on in the car world and analyzing the rumor mill....
It also doesn't hurt that people are using what's happened every time in the past with regard to engines between the Infiniti and Nissan cars as a gauge to what's likely to happen this time as well.

Not really fair there since the Z is getting long in the tooth - of course it's sales numbers will lag compared to when it came out. Other manufacturers have had nearly a DECADE to one-up it!
