I heard rumors of a v8 450hp all wheel drive.

 

With a 50/50 weight distribution and a 3,060 lbs. curb, as well as a push-start button....

 

I would know beter than you.

 

as shares same platform with G35-GTR a TWIN TURBO Z is quite possible

 

a TT is NOT going to happen. Nissan could not keep TWO different TT cars afloat, not matter how hard they try. Having one supercar is enough for a company like Nissan. If the Z was TT it would have a base price of $45k...WAY out of the price range of 90% of the people who buy Zs.

Expect an NA car with about 350bhp.

 

Hope it has better internals.

 

I don't agree. Nissan produced the GT-R and the 300zx tt at the same time and they both sold well, in japan. Of course, the GT-R wasn't available in the us at the time. A TT Z wouldn't be a "supercar" anyway, as it would only add about 8-10k to the sticker price.

 

Why are you quoting yourself?

 

no more posting is allowed unless the post involves pics haha

 

If the next Z comes in at 3000 lb. I won't even ask for more than 300HP.

Please make the car more neutral handling too. 50/50 weight distribution is a good start. No more 53/47 marketing "ideal".

 

so does Nissan plan on using the new 3.7 ltr engine? are they going to stick to the 3.5 ltr engine until the new generation is out? or will the new generation come earilar? if we see a 450Z, will it more expensive? by how much?

I feel like a detective now

 

Nissan can do EVERYONE who loves the "Z" a big favor simply by making the engine block stronger. Of course we all want more HP no matter how they do it, but an engine block that was more aftermarket friendly would be great! It seems the only REAL way to get massive doses of HP is by going TT. It would be nice to be able to get more torque lower in the rev range. Just my 2c.

 

^ +1 best thing they can do for us is to stiffen the block.

 

I agree -- the first one is by far the best, especially the lights and the greenhouse, which are similar to the 240Z. The fenders on the second one are too flared, and the rear has an ugly buttress like the BMWs.

 

It would be nice to have a 4 wheel drive option.

 

Our local club meets in Tampa, FL. We are the www.350zcluboflorida.com. Our sponsor is Autoway Nissan of Brandon. The dealership recently had a re-Grand Opening and we, the club, got to have a car show while some Exec's from Nissan walked thru the dealership. We did find some hard-to-find information out about our cars. Details...
Nissan did attempt to make our Z33's with TT. The problem was that there wasn't enough room to service the engine and charge a respectable labor rate for it. The new model will be coming out around '08-'09. Some of this you may already know. They wouldn't comment on the 4.5L for the next gen, but didn't deny it either.

 

in japan.... but in countries like the US that doesnt fly.

 

What year is it coming out and what size of engine, if you know and have creditable sources

 

I can't remember which one but here is what they were predicting for US Models:

Fairlady 350Z TT - 550hp
450Z - Lighter with 4wd - 438hp
Skyline probably sold as an infinity model.

Thats what I read.

 

And where did you read this?
