Look I'm excited they are making a new Z it's a long time coming I just have reservations about price and reliability (lots of people with blown vr30 motors). The other thing I am worried about is they make it too technology advanced and cripple the car. I drove a q60 and it absolutely sucks there is no soul in that car. The drive by wire, terrible automatic (thank goodness this will have a manual) and awful exhaust along with terrible soft boring suspension.
To be honest, there are no reliable 800hp 370z's yet. It is not a matter of If they are going to blow a headgasket, it is a matter of when. The ones that are on stock blocks are ticking time bombs.
