They should also have a go at the $65K 505hp Chevy Corvette Z06 (am betting that the Z06 will come out lighter than the GT-R).

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Possibly, if they base it off the G35 body, it will have more space.

Overall length isn't a good indicator of interior space, as with stiffer crash structures now, interior space is compromised by structural components. Case in point is the new Eclipse. It appears a heckuva lot bigger than the Hyundai Coupe, but it's cramped.

ang weird...diba yung Fairlady Z (350Z) is a different model from the Skyline...

pero yung 350Z when its wheelbase is stretched (G35 Coupe) becomes a Skyline?...

since when pa naging isa ang 350Z and Skyline?

Ang ganda naman nyan. If that thing got proven to be a beast, I'm not going to hesitate on selling the Z for that one. Kailangan magsimula na akong mag trabaho.

Since the time the new FM platform(front midship platform) 350Z was launched for the 2003MY.
The new 350Z (JDM Fairlady Z) also has no 2+2 version, looks like the current Skyline Coupe (Infiniti G35 coupe) fills that role.

350Z (Fairlady Z)

Current Skyline 350GT Coupe (Infiniti G35 Coupe)

so current JDM Skyline is actually a stretched 350Z?

The Corvette Z06 should be lighter than the GT-R, its even lighter than the more compact Nissan 350Z.

Corvette Z06 Curb weight: 3130 lbs (1420 kg)
Nissan 350Z Curb Weight: 3212 lbs (est1460 kg)
