And 300Z is a poor choice IMO cuz it's way too close to the 300ZX moniker.

400Z seems like a logical next step because it works with a 4.0 engine displacement or a 400 HP mark. The internet just ran with it.

They should call it the 345Z as a nod to the chassis code which should be Z34.5
One could argue the Z34 is just Z33.5. The S130 is more similar to the Z31 than the S30 if you're talking chassis.
JARblue and axmea? like this.

So then you can argue the new Z is Z33.5.5
