I will be in the market for the engine as soon as the cars start getting wrecked. Should replace the 2ZZ in my 2000 MR2 Spyder nicely. I am sure it will be a race to see who can do it first.

There are just so many design elements of the Gen 2 BRZ/86 that I do not like. Foremost among them is the heavy sculpted section below the door and into the rear fender. Also the front and rear are...

That is how I felt about my Datsun 280Z. The next closest is my current toy, the MR2 Spyder but it sits so low that is harder to get in and out of. Of course, I was 40 years younger when I had the Z.

Yeah, LOL, they are not the prettiest things around. The hard top helps a lot. Once you have driven one with a 2ZZ or 2GR, they start looking a whole lot less ugly to you. :burnrubber:

Yeah, I would like to see a return to somewhere around the Datsun 240Z curb weight but Nissan has been the antithesis of lightweight sporty cars for the last couple decades.

I have seen at least one source projecting an estimated sticker price of $45K. For that price, it better be 400HP with performance on par with the Supra, Cayman and BMW M2.
