The Dimer · 12-17-2015, 07:59 AM

I've been looking in other places for my next car, but it Nissan throws the 400hp version in the next Z they may just convince me to stick around.

Same here... Been struggling with wasting an extra $40 to 60k n go upmarket or wait for some concrete Z news. This is concrete enough to me... I'm sure it will be in the next car. I'm still happy with my car, but a turbo Z would be great. It'll cut tuning costs down. I'm pretty sure the weight reduction will be significant. Stock it will just be seriously powerful. I'm excited.

The Caddie ATS engine looks the same as well. I believe it's is Merc engine too.

Though we know C&D is fairly unreliable... They are saying the 370z engine will be replaced as well. So will we see this engine in our current bodies? Will they rename our cars the 300z before we see a new body style? Or will we just be called the Z? Or will we be seeing the new Z sooner than later?

It sounds awesome and would look nice plaqued out on the back of the car... I'm excited!!! FINALLY!

I hope design language is very 240esque.

Where does this new VR30 Redline? Anyone?

Max power was at 6300 so unless the stock turbos are a limiting factor I would expect power to peak close to redline. I say 6,500, 7,000 max.

They should just give the people what they want and rename it to Fairlady Z.

fairlady sounds good in japanese pronunciation as it sounds special like 'ferrari' but fair lady? really?
mr.k was right on dumping dat name for the us market.

Some people may want that. The ones that do can just do the same thing they've been doing and buy the Fairlady emblem.

They may use the 300hp and 400hp for the Infinity, and do a 380ish hp version in the Z and the Nismo would get the 400hp. I'm sure they can easily tune out 20 hp for the regular Z engine, just to give the Nismo an advantage in power still.
