Rumored 450z

[Daniel_]

off topic but does anyone else find lm gt4's to be totally sexy?

Doesn't seem to matter what car they're on either.

Maybe it's just the nismo stickers

a v8 AWD would be an interesting thing from japan. yes it sucks up to the yanks but australia is the place with crap taste in cars, not America (big soccer mum SUV's excluded.) so sucking up to their tastes isnt that bad a thing.

I would think it's a BS rumor to sell mags 1st or it will be so limited that none of us will see it in a hurry. if they do make it, i'd like to see it in a rally.

pahahhaha I knew it'd be wheels.

What irritates me most about that page is not the 450Z thing, but the image of what might be the replacement 200SX.

Its ugly. And the Silvia is not a V6 car.

scathing: yes, I do not know of a word to describe that car, as I do not want to offend gay men all over the world.

You all seem to be missing a point. It's not you who decides what a silvia is, or a Z is. It's nissan, they design and make the bloody things so if they say the new Z is gonna be awd drive. Well guess what?? It bloody well is. Same as if they decide to put a V6 in a silvia it's a freaking silvia. If they decide to make a car in which you sit backwards and use a playstation controller and call it a skyline it's a skyline.

Quit living in the past and move on.

Also wheels is a reputable mag and been around longer than you. And they don't say there is going to be a 450Z they say there is speculation of one.

One word,

Bathurst.

We do decide... to a degree. Nissan design vehicles based on what they can sell. If no one wants a V6 engined Silvia, then they won't make one! Or if it somehow makes it to market, it won't stay there for long.

In addition, the Z cars and Silvias have a real cult following around the world, and Nissan would be foolish to mess with the formula and turn away long time fans of the vehicles.
