No new Z anytime soon

[SOUTHZZ]

Just noted in today's Boldride.com piece,no replacement for the 370Z coming
anytime soon.
2 years etc.?
The 2018 offers basically some cosmetic ads--New red color etc.
Tech-offer of a Exedy clutch.

The category has gotten a bit crowded. Many offering more for the same price.

Looks like we will have to wait for Nissan to offer a real game changer.
For now,you have the engine mods that have been widely noted.
Looks wise,I for one have gone the carbon fiber route.
Done correctly,CF accents do wonders in updating the looks of our car.

carbon fiber which is usually used to lighten cars for racing but instead used just for show = good

Hood vents that will offer function as well as form = bad

Pretty cool to polish up your 09,10,11,etc... & look as good or better than a brand new one.10yrs. running & the mod's are ready available.....I plan to keep mine & go TT when the time comes & build my own powerhouse "Super-Car".
With taxes/insurance the way it is,,,it's about the best route for me to take..Unless you have endlessly deep pockets.

inb4 the move

but one thing I'll say:

Look at modern economy cars now and everything they come with, and how fast they evolve and how disposable they've kinda become. Something as "standard issue" as the Camry has taken strides in detail.

If Nissan's actually working on a new Z, it's a lot to think about a car that will properly fit with time. Takes on newer sports cars is still all over the place. It's easy to cater to the consensus desires from a forum, but globally is a bigger problem.

Same here, I was researching owning a GTR. I just don't think I can deal with that kind of attention, plus the Z is visually pleasing as is.

Those of us that have run a business may understand the issues that face
Nissan.Regardless of the size of the business,most have to look at the overall
big picture. Or,in Nissan's case,just how big is the category that the Z is in
now &in the future?
Is it wise to use funds on this category vs say,SUV or pickups etc?
Add to the fact that car sales to the age group that used to breed
"car guys"(millenials)are dropping.

Think about when the Z33 came out in 2003. It was pretty much the only
game in town. Yep,a game changer. Soon many followed the leader and
the market has gotten very crowded.

I myself am very happy owning my present Z34 and my Z33.

Couldn't agree more. Not to mention the maintenance cost/ease is there vs the next tier the costs sky rocket. You run the risk of "if out of warranty" you're f'd

New Z , heck I'm surprised that they haven't pulled the plug on it again.

As opposed to those of us that have not and are too dumb to understand? Condescend much?

[2011 Nismo#91]

Saving the new Z for the 50th Anniversary I guess?

[jchammond]

Here's your 50,,,called the Heritage Edition.

Remember,only those who have run a
business can have any understanding of economics
whether macro or micro.As a business owner,you have total understanding
of all relevant concepts,
even though statistically most small business
owners fail.And the issues this guy has faced running his own independently operated gloryhole are the
same as those faced by major multinational corporations,including
knee calluses and jaw cramps.As long as the small business can pay for carbon fiber
stickers all is well.

Stop acting so ******* superior. I have a degree in business administration and I can tell you that anyone with common sense understands this. Stop trying to "impress" us/make yourself feel better.
