Obviously the seriousness of this deep discusion excapes some folks..

 

That's what I'm figuring, but everone said that about the 06 to 07 Z too.

 

Well, to be serious, '08 might be just carry over model from '07 and we may predict that highly tuned 3.8L engine might be offered for redesigned Z in '09 OR even 400Z in 2010 as 40th anni...

 

I think we should give feedbacks on what we want for 2009, as 2008 models are most likely designed, finalized, and waiting for paperwork completion (patens, etc.). If it takes 4 years - from start to finish - to design and produce a vehicle, then most designs are usually finalized by the end of third year, leaving about a year for paperwork.

With that said, I want:

More horsepower, and I don't want to pay more for it.

And make gear-grind and oil consumption standard an all models - I hate it when some models are better than others for the same price.

 

Sometimes, don't you just wish you could reach out across the internet and b!tch slap somebody?

 

Every Day.

 

2008 G35c gets 3.7L so I dont expect anything less but thats only like 325hp which is really under power compare to the new Mustang and Camero coming out with 400+

 

good point. if the new g coupe (08) is going to have the 3.7 ltr, is the new 08 z going to have the same? What about that 3.8? Or is that just a japan thing? But another good point was raised...why revise engine AGAIN if it would be the 40th anniversary in 2010 only a year or two later. Although I guess they could just go with some special bells and whistles/ special emblems again. Need more credible info! Oh, and smoother tranny along with at least 300 lbs lighter!

 

What the hell is this??? I'd be embarrased to drive that arround!

 

i can't get over that, lolol

 

My prediction: There will be minimal to zero changes for the 2008. Same for 2009. I truly feel they will wait until maybe 2010and do a big body design change and different engine so they don't steal the thunder of the GT-R's entry in 2009.

Some people are only alive because its illegal to kill them.

 

Even being the same style through MY'09 is only 7 model Years. That is pretty common with Japanese Sports Cars it seems. The Z is still a hot seller and the upgrades they seem to make so freqently keep people comming back.

How much change did they really make for the "redesigned" G35C comming up? Is it still the same car underneath with just cosmetic changes?

 

I think its supposed to have a 3.7L as well.

 

Will they call it a G37?

You Know.. I would really like to have a Sun-Roof or Targa Option.

 

my bet is that the 08 Z will be like the 07 Gc - a short run before the new model hits (3-6mths after the GTR)

 

It's all speculation at this point, but according to Infiniti the 08 coupe will debut at the New York Auto Show in April.

If the sedan is any indication, the coupe should be something special. I sat in a used 03 sedan the other day, the difference between the two is astonishing.

 

If the Z was getting a comprehensive re-design in 2009, I would think we would have heard something about what it might look like by now, right? I haven't read or seen anything about possible specs, etc...

 

I've been outta the loop...I know the GT-R is coming...my buddy at Nissan is already calling me telling me that people are already putting deposits down on that vehicle. But I wanna get a ZR and I wanna know how much longer the current body will be around before they change....I know the G-Coupe is changing next year, but the GC is not a "legend" like the Z is...and plus the Z is a true sports car, therefore it's usually around longer than 5 years...
