the concept before this one in 1999 was a 4 cylinder, 240z. It went over like a lead balloon, but it was also ugly. I would take a nice looking light weight 2.4l hipo 4 cyl. car though.

SO if the Z were a 4 banger along those lines, I would go for it!

The only 4 cylinder on the market today that I would have instead of a Z is a Lotus Elise.

Full Energy polyuretahne kit (including rear subrame assembly inserts and steering rack bushings), Eibach springs, KYB shocks..
Fast and gorgeous it was...but no AC, Radio, speakers, headliner glovebox,.. all noise insulation removed etc etc,... the Z is more of a grand tourer compared to that other car.
But I am getting older (just turned 38) and I guess I need softer cars now.

My old S13 was a base weighing in at 2600 I we removed headliner trim pieces all over all noise insulations luxury items, the silivia front end coversion is lighter than stock as is the Sr20DET is lighter than KA24de.
End result a 2400 lbs car with 230 whp (was only 3 k away from rock reliable 360 rwhp)

But seriously.. The RSX is a 210HP (about 175 to the wheels) 2.0 4cyl that kicks ***.. Fastest FWD N/A car on the market I believe?

LOL...If I wanted 180 HP and a nice looking car, I would have bought the Celica GT-S.
I actually considered the Celica GT-S, but I previously owned a '93 MR2 and after a few months, I was desperate for more than 135 HP....I didn't want to go there AGAIN!

Nope, I wouldn't, I can barely stand the exhaust sound now, BUT, if it had a big engine bay like the 240Z did, I might and then swap a V8 in it .
