hmmmm recent inline fours...i can think of two, the c230 kompressor m111 and the miata turbo.
i'm seeing bunch of cheap miata tubro motors on ebay. i heard the m111 is a good motor but no support over here. |

I'm a big fan of smaller, lighter cars. I'm looking forward to how the generations will progress in terms of styling and performance.

Man w/ CTSV & a Car Seat
|
I saw both FRS and BRZ models last weekend. First thing I noticed on them were how big the wheel arches are for such a small car. Stock 17" wheels look like 15's on them...
The fender lines looked kinda funny to me, I'm not really a big fan of the lines. Reminds me of the bubbly Tiburon in my head. |

Saw a Genesis coupe the other day. Not sure i'd call it a boat. Looked smaller than a G35 coupe, IMO. Sounded great too with its factory BOV whistling, turbo spooling and tires chirping down the street.
Made me wanna set my S14 on fire. |

Definitely looks smaller in person, I liked it until I looked at the seating inside..
2+2 seater is a joke.. I'm 5'8" and with the driver seat in position there was 1.5" of space from the back of the front seat to the front of the back seat. Was thinking it would be a nice daily since you have the option of fitting people in the back if need be, but it's not possible unless the driver has the steering wheel at their chest. I was impressed with the interior though.. all the reviews said it was extremely cheap looking, but I didn't find it half bad. It's more than acceptable for a ~25K car. Seating position is nice too, feels nice and low even though it's only a notch under 4x4 status. It's something I would buy if I was 18, or if I already had a sedan/hatchback as a DD.. But it'll no way be able to function as a daily for me.

Scion/Yota have been crying for this since the demise of the Celica/Supra/MR2/AE86. Closest thing Toyota has had to a real sports car in 10 years is the Tacoma Xrunner. |

The GR and VQ series are both rather dated these days and Yota/Nissan need to get with it. |

F-That.
188hp and 178 ft/tq, that is like bringing a plastic knife to the nuclear holocaust these days. Maybe a turbo version of the MR20DD ( 147hp, 155 ft/tq NA). Nissans have never been about finess, they have always been the "delicate sludge hammer". A S13 was no Miata or MR2, the Z32 was not a FD3S and the 240z was not a Opel GT or MG. Nissan would need a 250+ hp engine in any car they build that is lighter and smaller than Geni. |

Its sad because the base model GC has more bang for your buck on the street than either of those cars base models. If Nissan does revive the Silvia, how much you wanna bet the turbocharged variant doesn't get released in the States again? |

If I'm not mistaken, doesnt the GT86/BRZ use a similar design to the EJ20? Just with redisgned heads? If so wouldnt making aftermarket be simple and shouldnt some parts for the EJ20 fit on the FA20?(I beleive thats what it is called, off to google)

No. The FA20 is very different from the EJ series. Alot of fab work needs to be done just to get the EJ in there.

Supras were GT cars as well. While we are on the subject. Now an MG was pretty much a roadster unless you bought the ones with the tops stuck on them(MGB GT) and honestly the Datsun Roadster was Nissan's answer to that, not the 240z. The 240Z was more inline in competing with 911's of the era and TR6's. Not Opel GT's As far as market aims and categories. The Opel GT was an anemically powered tin can of a Sports car compared to the 240Z. I know I witnessed both in person. LOL If your going to do these comparisons at least know enough about the cars to call it right.

^^^I think I get what he's trying to say though. There's tons of guys here on Zilvia that seem to love their S-Chassis, but their preference for the FRS over the GC 2.0T seems like they'd prefer an AE86 over an S-chassis.
