'16 gets fake engine noise

ajperretta · 04-11-2015, 09:16 PM

I sold my z last year in anticipation that Nissan was going to do something good with the next z, and soon! It's way overdue. This car is getting old.

I'm actually seriously debating buying a camaro because Chevy has actually been proactive and listened to what buyers want. Every year, the other cars get a little bit better and have real improvements. But not Nissan's z. Nope. They've managed to leave a car exactly the same for too long and not drop the price enough to make it worth it.

Thanks, Nissan, for the underwhelming nismo update in 2015, and for adding fake engine noise this year. You could have just added some nice exhaust that actually makes it sound like a sports car, but that would have been too desirable. Another year goes by and the z receives zero asked for improvements.

I think I'm just gonna buy an affordable camaro this year. At least their track model can keep its oil cool enough to stay out of limp mode.

Wait for the new alpha platform Camaro to arrive. It's lighter

The oil in a Camaro stays cool mostly because around tough corners it never makes it through the block.

Google LSX oil starvation.

I'd rather boil my oil knowing that it's being circulated through the motor than not have any oil at all.
