That's assuming the Z stays the same forever. There's a chance that Nissan could try and make it a lot better. Might not be a huge probability any time soon, but still there nonetheless.

i just dont see them keeping up, i mean from the 350Z hr to the all new 370Z the diff was 306-332 crank :/ meanwhile the mustang got almost a 100RWHP upgrade from year to the next, theres clear evidence it going to get DI very soon. Any kinda advantages the Z ever had, are getting addressed...weight, IRS,

the Z would need a TT or a big badass V8....tt would be awesome but it would cost a grip....the gap between catch up is just growing and growing

well see i guessssssss lol

Yeah, but the 350Z hr didn't have this much competition to motivate a huge change. IMO after Nissan recovers from the quake damage and get everything back in order, there are big changes coming to the Z to make it competitive with cars like the 5.0 or Camaro SS. Yeah they're completely different cars, but are in the same price range and are cross shopped. They are taking away from Z sales.

The only change Nissan made was to adjust production for dismal sales. Where is your source for this "big change"?

I hope there is one, too, but none looms.

It's not a fact, just an opinion. I just think they need it to keep the Z alive. I've heard rumors of DI though.

Jeez. That sounds worse than I thought. I knew they had some issues, but damn!
