I sure do hope they release it instead as a Silvia...

I'll be very interested to see how this goes down. I love Z's. A lighter Z isn't necessarily a bad thing.

A lighter Z is EXACTLY what needs to happen. The current one is at least 200-300lbs overweight. They need to move it away from a GT cruiser type car, unless they introduce a new model to take the light sports car spot.

I personally think that with a lighter chassis and possibly a lighter, smaller V6 they could do well with fuel efficiency. Or even a Turbo/Twin-Turbo set up like the 300ZX. But i think the key thing is light-weight. Nissan needs to recognize that.

I still own a 300zx until my 86 arrives and will always have a soft spot for the Z. As long as it looks like it should (think 240Z), then I might even consider trading in my 86 for it!

The current one is a hoot to drive. A lighter version, without sacrificing much on power, would be incredible. Even if they lose power or go to a turbo four, it's still gonna be great fun, especially if they follow the model of the Miata and the twins.

We may be standing on the threshold of a sportscar renaissance.
This is exciting. |

I have been waiting for a revival of the Silvia platform and if Nissan can come up with a great design like that of the new 86, then I would pre-order for sure.
