Wait and See, anything can be done and with sooo many people out there, it will be, no doubt about it. Just can't wait to see the 600 hp 300zx waxing all those stupid stangs and vettes.

I like the design of the new Z in that it's kinda a fusion of old school Z car style with enough modern styling and technology that it doesn't seem dated or like an old concept rehashed (with little effort put forth). I can't comment on it's performance one way or the other since I haven't driven it (yet ).

Can't agree with you on the fake Benz connection. Yeah it is an oval light but I have seen better copies of Benz design.

I like the new wrx with the aftermarket rally lights. They look fantastic.

Isn't HKS working on superchargers? They might plan to work one of those in there.

Well from what I heard from someone folks F-max already has a twin turbo design for the 350Z.

As for performance and whether or not it needs FI, 5.4 sec 0-60 is not bad at all. Especially for such a heavy car as someone already mentioned.

Not to be a pickininny but didn't Benz just split the front lights. When the WRX with the round light was released Benz's headlights were still one color solid housings.

By your assesment Benz would be following Suby.

I hope they come thru with the new EVO here. Maybe Nissan will open it's eyes and supply a new model with turbo.

The EVO is definitely coming out here. Why would Nissan need to bring out turbos when they are beating turbos all motor. But I guess thats what they said when they made our cars. But a turbo will be a nice addition, but it makes emissions harder for them to pass. But a turbo charged 350z, ohhh the wet dreams that I would have.
