Hey,
Just looking around and stuff, and wondered is the new Z comming out in 09 or o8? also u guys think itll really be better than the current Z? what new can they put on it hood vents? what u guys think? is it worth waiting for lets say in 08?

 

uh sure

 

By much more expensive and/or heavily built cars... If you want to go drag race go get a mustang fox body

 

If they make it a V8 or turbo they are going to kill the car just like the Z32, it'll be priced way out of the market.

 

so you guys think the v6 will be dropped in the 09, and it'll be more pricey than it is now?

 

Who knows, noone even knows about the GTR thats due out much sooner.. why speculate about something that's going to happen in 3 years?

 

Be nice if they just used a dedicated sports car platform and made the think lighter, rather than build it on a platform used for sedans and SUVs...

 

What Grocery getters are faster than a 350z under $40,000 ?

 

I drove a new Nissan truck with the V8, Jesus they need to put that motor in the Z.

 

I would think a V8 350z would compete with there GTR performance wise, so I doubt a 350z v8 will ever come out... Expect the V6 with a small bump in HP, maybe around 320 hp or Possibly a supercharged V6 between 300-350 hp (shrug)

 

What ever happened to performance options? A base model wouldn't have to be priced out of market. Performance upgrades such as a V8 or turboed V6 with weight reductions and the like can be made available for those that have the moola. Why does it have to be the same engine for every car? Because of the 350 moniker? The car could be labelled just Z or carry over the Fairlady name. I personally prefer Z. Currently, I don't think the performance model offers much more in "performance" to justify the cost. But if Nissan were to offer some serious performance options/packages I'd be willing to take another go at ownership.

Just some thoughts I wanted to share!

Peace!

 

WRX wagon for one.

 

I also saw some crazy article in french that said a 450z Z.. awd and stock twin turbo... pretty crazy but if so facto I would get it!

 

+1 the track model ought to really be a track model. With significant power upgrade, breaking upgrade, aero upgrades and weight reduction.

 

the new Z will be a V8 regardless of all speculation. engineering and market evolution already points that direction

 

No. The 350Z that I am driving is more fun than the new 2009 (If there is one).

 

There is no Performance for 2006. It was dropped.

 

Screw waiting for the 2008 or 2009 model, I heard the 2052 model is going to have a V12 putting out 1000hp, wings, and a magic monkey in the trunk that will give you three wishes. Going to be great, only 46 years to go!!!

 

i'm pulling out the on this one. i demand a link lol
