New 240Z Confirmed for Nissan's 80th Anniversary! [Video] - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Love the idea. I must agree with those saying it should be a separate car though. Lighten up the current Z a bit but keep it 6cyl, then bring back the Silvia. And as a Silvia, please no more 240sx stuff lol. Nissan...DO IT!

I'm sure more people are interested in this!

LOL I can't believe I am seeing this just minutes after saying this would never happen in the datsun thread. still, they haven't really given any details, so who knows how much of the original 240 will actually carry over (price range, size, weight, market).

Wow if that's true, great! As long as they keep on building cars that are meant to be "performance" oriented from the start, there is hope, doesn't matter what it is.

2.0t?

What motor does Nissan have to put in a little brother to the 350?

ft86Fan · 10-01-2012, 08:45 PM

Very interesting. Hope all manufacturer will jump on to this bandwagon. More affordable light weight RWD vehicles!

This

Not really hard to achive, I even don't mind if it comes with a 160hp KA24DE if the chassis/body/weight is DONE right

In before the endless FR-S vs 2014 240z discussion...

#87 · 10-04-2012, 08:45 AM

From the poster in the video, showing all the Z models. Is this implying a new 240 will take place of the 370?

track_warrior · 10-04-2012, 09:53 AM

IM EXTREMELY EXITED AS OF RIGHT NOW!! Cant wait for honda to follow the same steps as well.

BRAWL · 10-04-2012, 10:16 AM

I will go on record that, depending on price and spec, I will trade my 86 for a 2014 240z in a heartbeat! I have a 300zx at the moment that I love and adore so am a little bias

domsawww · 10-04-2012, 10:29 AM

i always liked the z line my grandma had a 280 z and i used to sit in the hatchback area when we were real young lol. but if they can at least come real close to the balance of the 86 and give it more power id say my decision would be real tuff, betweeen the pure balance of the 86 and less balance but more power of the z. both still light wieght both still affordable, geez heaven?
