I think Nissan has two options:

1) Build a cheap BRZ Fighter
2) Build an expensive ($60k+?) Corvette (maybe?) fighter

I just don't think they can win the price wars with Chevy and Ford in the "mid-range" segment anymore.

I think thats why the Z is getting a 2.0T with near 300hp and a 3.0TT v6 with approx 400hp. I think some key ideas that i came up with must happen. You know gimmicks sell a lot of these sports cars and gauges help the cars feel, well more racecar.

The all digtal 3 gauge pod with at least 6 configurable different gauges
Nissan needs to put high emphasis on a MEGA sound system separate of ANY packages
Recaro should have influence in even the standard seats.

From a mechanical standpoint

Nismo version must a serious corvette competitor.
Driving feel must really start to feel Porsche like.
KEEP THE HANDBRAKE
KEEP THE STEERING HYDRAULIC
Weight on the 400hp car shouldnt exceed 3000lbs
Look for a REAL LSD.

Aesthetically
Get the grille right.
Ergo ergo ergo
Lower the center of gravity one inch from the Z34
Lengthen the wheebase and widen car slightly.
240Z lithe hood design.

With current tech available, the Z can do it. But.....
