Can't remember which one, but one of the car books tested the new Z this month.

It is 4 inches shorter, 200 pounds lighter (to like 3170 pounds), has an additional 20hp and 279ft/lbs of torque at 5200rpm with a 7500rpm redline. The best 0-60 time it posted was 5.1 secs, and they said it handled very well, pulling .97g's on the skid-pad.
It has a new technology called rev matching, with the computer blipping the throttle on the MANUAL transmission on downshifts.

The outside is still ugly (but for some very cool wheels) and the inside looked horrifying.
