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.

Didn't the 300ZX use to run in ESP? It wasn't very competitive there, I wonder why they thought the 350Z would need to be placed in BSP?

N/A versions did I think...

T/T 300's were always in BSP.

Hard to compete with a 2900lb car w/AWD and more power than anything else.....On top of small, big tires, pretty good chassis.


I'd bet that the most competitive BSP car apart from the AWD cars is going to be a new 135i BMW. Great power and torque, small, not that heavy in S/P trim.
