I think a 400 HP Z and 450 HP GTR make a lot of sense. The Z is a different car, 2 seats vs 4 seats. Also this article speculates a 60k price tag where as most people are speculating the GTR to be at around 80k. Two different Ball Parks. All in all I doubt Nissan Can market a Z for 60k, We fail to realize that most people arent like us, most of us would have bought the car whether it was a nissan label or a an infiniti label, but the average consumer buys these luxury cars because of the name and not much else. Why else do u think you see a 40-50 year old woman driving in the right hand side of the highway going 10 mph under the speed limit in a g35? Cauz the carrr looks pretttty and its an infiniti lol

TOKYO — Nissan is planning to shoehorn the 4.5-liter V8 that powers several Infiniti models into its 350Z sports car to create a 400-horsepower hot rod.

The muscled-up coupe would be called the 450Z, says U.K. magazine Autocar. So far, the more powerful coupe has not been confirmed for production, but Nissan is seriously considering it in a bid to compete with the likes of Porsche.

The 450Z could also have an Audi quattro-style four-wheel-drive transmission in order to make sure the V8's output can be safely transferred to the road. The only problem is that the V8 currently doesn't meet all worldwide emissions rules. But Nissan is planning to modify the engine to meet Euro IV standards as it's planning to launch Infiniti in Europe in early 2007.

What this means to you: More power means higher price and more profit for the car companies, but it's not exactly going to please the environmental lobby.

Where's it say 60K in the article? That would change my opinion of the future of this car.
