I've always had a soft spot for the Z-Cars ever since the early 70's, and I just read the Car and Driver short review of the car and I must say, at least on paper, I am impressed. the exterior dimensions and the wheelbase were shrunk and the HP is up to 330, but torque is a little low at 270. I wonder how much that can be improved. The wheels are a little bit, 19 inches, but hey at least there not 20's. It also comes with 4 piston brakes. They managed to keep the weight at 3300-3400 lbs, meet the new crash test standards, and Nissan claims the car is stiffer than the last model. The question is, will it be a competitive Street Prepaired car. I think the current model runs in BSP. Could this be a potential replacement for the SS when the time comes. I'm not sure, but I do know for sure I won't be buying a 2 Ton pig.

My rhetorical question is, "what would it weight with a back seat and a 400+ HP V8? "

Personally, neither the new Camaro or a Z car interest me ... I'm dreaming LS3/T56 into our Solstice .... forget the classes .... I'll be autoXn for fun! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

A V8 Solstice sounds amazing, until you realize how heavy they are. I think the Mallet conversion cars were coming in around 3000 lbs, and at that weight, I'd rather just take the C6.
