I dont think Nissan has developed one, and R&D is expensive.

We are all excited about the developement of teh next generation "Z". I think we all need to remember what it is about our beloved Z cars that keep us coming back for more..... Innovative body design, good engine platform, and reasonable performance for the price. We also have a long automotive heritage and good aftermarket support. For the next model I think the most important criteria should be:
Price: base model priced @ $25K......
top of the line model @ $35
Engine: 320 hp base model , with 350+hp high end model and
N/A and Turbo models
Body styles: a coupe, convertible AND Targa/ T top
Price: base model priced @ $25K......
top of the line model @ $35
Engine: 320 hp base model , with 350+hp high end model and
N/A and Turbo models
Body styles: a coupe, convertible AND Targa/ T top

Nissan has almost always used the same engine in all their models. Recently they started offereing engine options. I think Nissan should stick with engine sharing. Some people dont want all the frills but still want the beast
i had to change my pants and smoke a cig afterwards.

see the lower part of the article is talking about the new 2006 Z.
the new G was rumored to have a 3.7. and the article looks to say something about the V36 skyline having the same engine.
so who knows. i do kinda like the fog lamps on that picture though.

ok, i got him to send me a better picture. but some of the words are missing.. (he isn't too good with computer tech.) check out the pic again.
"the new style might come out by 07-08" "trasnmission will be 6 speed / 6 speed auto/ and 2 pedal"
actually.. it says, the US spec 06 Z is now using 19s as the rear rims. Japan version won't be using it until next summer"
