Message	They have to be engineered into new cars and all add weight. Manufacturers are required to do this to make their cars legal, so I don't think the 'weight reduction' that Nissan is currently trumpeting will result in fast, light sports cars. People also want A/C and power everything in their cars, which doesn't help. So power is increased to compensate. Unless Nissan introduces a true successor to the _original_ 240Z, ie: cheap, fast and light, which they sorta tried with the 350Z (not a 350ZX, note) introducing a Z derived twin turbo powerhouse isn't going to kick the new GTR off the top of the Nissan heap. At least currently. I could be wrong, and sorta hope I am. At least they could hire some competent exterior designers. Interesting times indeed. Regards, My Zs are hybrid vehicles, they run on gasoline and money times change, people change, but the Z32 still kicks ass. - apudapus 16:46:02 06/15/07 I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels! - Briscoe'sZ32 (NJ) 23:15:44 02/05/07 You have *got* to be getting a cut from B&B :D - SeedyROM 15:24:29 08/16/06 What do you think B&B stands for? - YugoBernie (NoVA) 15:57:09 08/16/06
