Ever since I was a little stuff kid, I would play Need for Speed all the time, and I refused to use anything other than the Nissan 350z. Then the 370z came out, and I always use that. I'm just hoping by the time I (need to) get a new car, they'll be on 390z (assuming they continue with the trend of 20s)
Well, it went from the 240z to the 280zx to the 300zx to the 350z to the 370z, so I wouldn't say it really increments in 20s. The names actually come from the size of their engines; the 240z = 2.4L, 280zx = 2.8L, 300zx = 3.0L, 350z = 3.5L, 370z = 3.7L. I could envision a 390z or maximum a 400z, but beyond that they'd have to put a v8 in there to increase the displacement that much. All the previous Z cars have had six cylinder engines, so I really doubt they'll do that. What I could see them doing is introducing a twin turbo version of the 370z, maybe bumping up the engine capacity to 3.8L like the GT-R. That way the car would put out ballpark 500 horsepower but could still be a lot cheaper than the GT-R even if it uses the same engine platform. I don't know for sure what will happen, but it's interesting.

never said it was full size ;)
Faster than the Bugatti Veyron SS by 0.16 seconds, but slower than the Ariel Atom v8 by 0.1 second. Oooh, nice try little buddy!
