frank280zx Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 ok people will shoot me for this .. like said it Looks like BMW z4 Coupe .. down to the roofline and the indent in it! I actually own one (my daily) and sitting it next to a 260 with euro lip front and rear ( BRE spoiler) the dimension are dead on ... the Z4 IS the new Z.. it resembles the soul and line of Z much better than a 350z witch is far more GT like the s130... However it would not sell as good as it is fricking tiny (taller than 6,1" or a bit on the heavy side ? forget it! It has no storage. styled particular ( like the concept shown in this topic) The 350 is styled more accepted, very roomy, luxurious BUT heavy!!! the concept would have the same downfalls as the z4 coupe from styling size etc! i doubt they would make it much in the lines with what Gollum said .... Plus there is a new Z maybe the new z5 this is to much The z4 drives like a z aswel btw ! same drift feeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxand280z Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Please sell the kit to be able to make this car. It is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethros Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thanks for the idea's guys. And yes it will be sold in kit form if we get enough interest once the 1st one is compompleted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethros Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Expensive engine, this may put the price up which we would love to keep as low as possible If it's supposed to be a modern version of the Z, you should use a VQ IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superduner Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I just hope they fix that damn hatch panel design where the rust builds up in all these cars. it seems it has the same. but i could be wrong. and the car looks TOO round from the rear end. still lovely car. someone took their time on this. just my 2cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerAce Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thanks for the idea's guys. And yes it will be sold in kit form if we get enough interest once the 1st one is compompleted. As a point of interest, how big is the engine bay, and what are the mounts going to be designed for? Presumably one of the I6 motors originally, but V8s?

aziza z Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thanks for the idea's guys. And yes it will be sold in kit form if we get enough interest once the 1st one is compompleted. Im so in if you start producing them. It will be sold in the US too right (noticed you are in the UK). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX2+2 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 that concept Z car was ugly. have seen better looking concepts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I would say make it long enough for a BMW, Toyota, or nissan DOHC I6 and wide enough for a modular ford V8 and you are golden. Still don't like the tail outline, and by increasing the size of the roof bubble you add copious amounts of space. Small increase in height plus broadening the cabin bubble adds alot of space. No offense, but I am still not holding my breath.. even if it is made I must confess that I doubt I will ever see one in person, and THAT is the judgment that I need to pass a final opinion on a new concept vehicle. It is pretty, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethros Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 The chassis has already been started and the body panels are already being milled:) I would say make it long enough for a BMW, Toyota, or nissan DOHC I6 and wide enough for a modular ford V8 and you are golden.

bjhines Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Honestly... The car will need to be very light, with 50/50 balance. You are looking at a Turbo 4 cylinder if you don't want a nose heavy vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tufizzle Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I hope the new 240sx doesn't look like this. http://www.motorauthority.com/preview-2010-nissan-silvia-240sx.html I love the last sentence, "Whatever the final version looks like, we just hope it retains the punchy four-banger and RWD layout of its predecessors."

TeeJayHoward Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I love the last sentence, "Whatever the final version looks like, we just hope it retains the punchy four-banger and RWD layout of its predecessors." Punchy four-banger? It's a freakin' truck engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Punchy four-banger? It's a freakin' truck engine! its a 150 hp, 160 lb-ft, 2.4L workhorse. Its got as much power as the original 240Z engine or more. The Dodge Viper also runs on a "freakin truck engine" when you get right down to it. Labeling like that only limits yourself in the end.. Not tryin to be a tool, I'm just sayin...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxand280z Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 How about an update on the build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
