NEW 2-17-15 - possible 2016/17 Z (Z35) details

njobe89

no, he is telling the truth. a friend of mine works as the finance manager at nissan and was telling us they sold a 2015 gtr for 85k. that's at the dealership.

Whats the new Q60 gonna run you think? $50K easy I bet?

FPenvy

the 2015 Q60 bases at 40k soooo I would assume the updated 2016/17 Q60 would base around 45-50k with the body and engine update easily.

given that it is infinti and not Nissan that price isn't out of the realm of possibility. especially with the 2015 Q60S starting at 47k and the limited version starting at 50K. then the vert IPL basing at 62k.

Damn. I should start saving then. But I don't want an automatic transmission. Too boring

dct?

FPenvy

you shut your mouth! that's blasphemy.

that's the argument I never really understand. the automatic in the Z is a lot of fun and the GT-R with a DCT is a dream.

think about it for a second. a MT is a pain in the ass for everyday driving.

the part where driving gets fun is pedal to the floor, on a track, on the dragon or twisties, etc....

balls out the AT is just as fun if not more than a MT. yes the MT diehards will argue the MT you have more control and feel blah blah blah.

it's all the same......just minus a pedal. either model you're control shifts, RPMs, which gear you want going in and out of corners. yes the AT you cant jump 4th to 2nd or 5th to 3rd or whatever needs to be done. but it's still fun and useful.

now no more MT v AT talk. I like this thread too much lol

You know, if the new Z has an AT that shifts a little faster ... And frankly, I like the idea of not having to move my hand from the wheel to the shifter every few seconds. At speed it is good to have your hands on the wheel. Used to be you could get shift kits to boost performance of auto transmissions. What's up with that?

I was on the fence when I got my Z. I decided the Syncro revmatch was sufficient automation for me. But, I was almost there.

I think Nissan is smart enough not to do that, though I tend to agree that the auto will probably be pushed more next generation. The manual is good, but better tech, ease to drive, etc will turn the tide for people to just buy the auto. Heck, even one of my friends who is 100% manual guy got to take out a c7 with the 8 speed auto and came back saying he does not want to drive his manual vette anymore.

yea the advances in auto tech and refining it all is finally coming to cars other than the top Italian supercars.

as for Nissan look at every 15 nismo I've seen at the shows or press release kinda thing is always the 7AT tech with nav. they are pushing the new features hard for it.

TT 400hp is enticing, but I think there'd have to be several other design changes to get me into another Z.

Maybe... and no price increase.

edk370

Geez...I wouldn't even buy a 2015 GTR at $85K. If I was hellbent on getting a GTR I'd get the R32 GT-R. That's the classic one!

bullitt5897

The item that makes the GTR so bulletproof is the fact that each motor is hand built to tight tolerances similar to other highend exotics. the next VQ will not get that treatment.
