Only problem with that is the Z34 is the 6th generation of Z car. (S30, S130, Z31, Z32, Z33, Z34) Proto Z is presumably Z35, which is more agreeable to me that 400Z.

In the Q's, the VR30 already has 2 very distinct power levels. It'd be very easy for Nissan to make 3 power levels with the VR30. This is why I see "300Z" based on 3.0 liters as being more reasonable than "400Z" based on one known Infiniti Q output. Or an arbitrary escalation of model number for the sake of being higher than previously. |
