Just say new 240z, they went w 2.4L I4 turbo. It can produce over 300hp easy w current technology... Which will bring the 370Z's sales down. Why buy limited power upgrade 370z when you can do so many upgrade w i4 turbo? Specially 2.4L, so it can produce ridiculous tq!

Again, why do you think new 510 concept died?
Because of mixed reactions to the retro-futuristic styling and the company being unwilling to spend the money it would take to have two affordable sports cars. The last news about them said they decided on just making 1 smaller/lighter Z. Like others, I would love to see a spiritual successor to the 240z and 240sx/Silvia in one car. A new S16 Silvia would have enthusiasts foaming at the mouth...
