Yes, that's what I'm saying. The 370Z will be a 4-door sedan... no... station wagon... and it will look like a big, pink bunny rabbit.

I guess reading the whole thread was too tedious for you. That earns you the Dumb Question of the Day Award™. Congrats!

If the new Z ends up looking anything like the two pic's posted in this topic (which both look similar), then you've earned the Dumbest Comment of The Thread Award.

Apparently you've missed the point (not the one on your head), which is as follows:

What I posted is a leaked press photo of the actual car and the one you so dearly cherish is a R&T photoshop special.

There. Now you should understand. I'm sorry I had to use such a big word as "photoshop", which may also go over your head, but I honestly couldn't dumb it down any more.

If you feel some sense of satisfaction pointing out that the pictures share similarity, then I applaud you, Captain Obvious, for your astute observation.

Here's another little bit of help for you...

1. a blurry picture of a real rabbit (a la my OP)



2. a clear picture of a fake rabbit (a la R&T)

I would bet that is breaks into the sub-5 second 0-60 range, but low-mid 4 second range is not likely, based on the rumored power to weight ratio (~330bhp, ~3100lbs).

I also doubt they'll remove the 155mph limiter, since that would necessitate more expensive tires, pushing up the MSRP beyond the target sub-$30K starting price range.

Sub 5 times without turbos for a 370z is...definitely in BMW 335i territory...stock. Just imagine it with turbos..

If they do get it to at least near mid 4 numbers, it will be as revolutionary
as the GTR in it's class for under 40k.

There may be a generation that can actually say Nissan 370z in the same breath as Mustang v8s and BMWs 3 series in stock performance numbers.

If the specs are accurate, this marks a turning point in Nissan Sport Car history. For the first time in half a century,

It would be nice but I'm not holding my breath.

I think the headlights and front bumper are hideous.

I meant 370z, but yes it would be nice if it becomes reality this November.
