[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

Zingston

Well if true sports car sales are declining, perhaps nissan should reposition the Z to compete more with the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger (sales seem to be solid with that trio). I'm not suggesting making the Z a muscle car, but maybe a few tweets here and there might steal sales from the 3 mentioned in an effort to keep the Z alive.
I doubt they will... maybe... who knows?
OK, back to giving my cat a bath.

A 4-seater 2-door coupe version would be interesting. It could be a de-luxury'ed Q60. I'd be down for that. I don't need luxe. I just want modernly comfortable with sporty handling and that tt VR engine and a few hundred lbs lighter than the Q. I'll take it in either 2 or 4 seater format a long as it's a coupe. If the Q60 dropped 300 lbs, I would be in on that now probably.

Exactly why I got the M2. Sports car handling, 7 inches shorter then the Q60, only 100 lbs heavier then the Z, 370 hp & tq. The M2 is selling at MSRP or a little higher, wait list of still 6 months to a year and it's going on to it's 3rd model year. So there is a very good market for this type of car.

With Nissan's new tt engines, they could definitely compete here. Take out some of the luxe and make it pricey options, as the M2 has a lot. If Nissan made it a real Nismo drivers car and priced it in the high 30's for base (no frills) and mid 40's top end. I'd have gotten that instead of the M2.
