as Im sure many of you know, nissan is making the new Z and its been called the 350Z, my dad sells to nissan and went there today and got some very interesting information.
first off, the release date has been said to be july, however for the time being the car has to be made in japan, so there predicting it will fall more around september. and the base model will probably end up having about 280 hp, not to shabby, there was talk about as much as 300 but now they think that wont happen and heres why.
firstly the skyline takes a v8, guess where there gonna be making it? in america, renault, you bailed nissan out of the red a few years back is now putting the money up to built the largest car plant in america, and half of it will be making the V8 which will be used in the new full size truck, and, drum role please, the 350ZR, this for all intents purposes will be the american skyline. or maybe the skyline will come over also. still in the works. whatever happens there will be a ZR, the domain www.350ZR.com is registered to nissan of north america.
that means 400+hp on a N/A v8 in a 3400lb car give or take. fast? yeah I think so. this is all still on the table at nissan, but it is on the table atleast and it has a good chance of happening. can I get a hell yes?
anyway, just wanted to keep you updated, and for all of you out there that have way too much money, I think this might be a good place to spend it. me Ill probably take the base model with the modest 280hp.
