I think it would be a huge mistake to depart from their history of the cars name being indicated by its displacement. Might as well make it FWD.

End rant.

THANK YOU.

In the entire lifespan of the Z, which may come to an end after the new Z....the engine displacement was always the nameplate.

In the "ZX" days, Nissan even reused the same name twice for the Z31 and Z32 300ZX.

Therefore, I like to think that Nissan would have ZERO issues calling the new Z "300Z" as it would be a never before used moniker.

Think "300Z" is less than "370Z"? Let's line em up and let the VR30 whoop some butt!

Nissan is even showing the new Z in USA with "Fairlady Z" badging.

Where the eff does the "400" come from anyways? Why not "380Z"? or "371Z"??
Nissan has yet to do arbitrary with their Z
