Been waiting weeks for this.  Hoping it doesn't suck.

Man......a modern drivetrain with a 240z body would be great, like......as close as humanly possible would be great.

Concur, but it will be a fat turd as all modern cars have become. I still hope it will be cool, I am looking forward to it.

I thought some photos were leaked a few months ago and it looked like a slightly updated 350...I mean 370z?

If the numbers, specs, and design survives from the prototype in some fashion I predict big success for it.  Good looks and great HP/Weight ratio make it look like a contender.  Potentially something I'd even buy new.

If it isn't sub 3,000lbs, I won't even ever bother knowing anything more about it.

Prepare for disappointment.  I suspect that it'll be north of 380hp, but 3300+ lb. 

Horsepower has killed the sports car, but I'll save that for another thread.

crash safety ratings and pedestrian impact ratings have killed the sports car.

I'm going to disagree. 400+ horsepower 3700+ lb things that often shift themselves go in a straight lines at stop lights and a lack in confidence that breeds toxicity masculinity have killed the sports car. 

How many people like the BRZ/86 but say they won't consider it, but would if it had 30-50% more horsepower. 

Young men with enlistment bonuses aren't financing sportscars at 27% APR...
