Zup everyone! I don't know how many of you have seen this but I guess it's the new 2003 model Z from Nissan. It's gonna be less than $30 G's for price. Nissan said the design is based on a Formula One racer: wheels positioned all the way out on the edges, and the cockpit is snuggled into the body's center. They also there is no backseat. And best of all...it will still be equiped with the turbo. For those of you that know, since Nissan was struggling under debt and dying sales, they retired the Z back in 1996. The company is hoping this will be their come-back into the sports car scene. We'll have to see I guess if that indeed does happen!

Yupo, I found out about the new Z-car few months ago. If I could, I would get it. Wouldn't you, come on it's the successor of the very first Asian Import Sport for a economic price. You older generations would know what I'm talking about.

No, the car will NOT be turbo. At least not the first version of it.

It will have a 3.5 L V6 with about 250 HP.

I personally dont care for the looks of the thing, but then again, I think the Audi TT looks like the bastard child of a 911 and a new bettle...

i think it looks hot. it may not have boost, but it wont take long for Stillen and the boys to have a SC/turbo for that car.
