'16 gets fake engine noise

jdsto · 04-12-2015, 08:35 AM

The only cars that need fake engine noise are electric cars and it should be on the outside. Pedestrians are so stupid where I live there will be mass carnage on the roads if everyone drove a Tesla. Its winter, hmmm I think I will walk right into the street without looking with the hood up on my overpriced Canada Goose parka while texting.

It could be argued that the z crowd has a fairly large amount of riced out cars. Which, unfortunately is true. I always cringe when I see a z that has been molested with ugly wretched stanced wheels that don't fit right and some super gaudy street fighter body kits.

I'm becoming less turned off to the camaro. They are building a car that is actually track capable and blows the doors off our z. It performs better and is cheaper. It might be less rare, but the 2016 model z is essentially the same car that was on the lots in the summer of 08. the track model can't even be tracked. Pathetic. I'm just really frustrated because the mustang is now a better buy, and I hate the mustang with every fiber in my body. It is classic junk but it's actually a better buy than our z's. Nissan has lost its vision with this car.

Maybe next year they will add some flashing led valve stem caps!

Also my hunch, as I truly thought the 15 would be the last model year for this gen Z. Nissan boardroom must have decided to just milk it further instead of perhaps a gap until the next gen is released.

It's the EPA pansies whining about noise pollution. They need to silence commercial trucks and motorcycles, not cars.

Yet the same agency told zone 1 thru 4 9/11 victims, we were breathing safe air? Really????? EPA's priorities are where? In reducing exhaust noise.

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.

why would i want that? i think i do a fine job myself of making engine noises when the car is off...

or when i'm launching and want to hear a bov on my NA engine

or when traffic is going slow and i want to pretend i'm driving fast... oh wait i just sit in 2nd...

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH

You know, I bought my '12 Nismo for the love of the car and what it stood for. I have always planned on keeping it, but I have been eager to see what comes next, and if good enough, I'd trade up.... But this is so dissapointing. I'd rather the Z went on a hiatus while Nissan fine tuned the next generation. I'm still happy with my car, and it still makes me smile every time I drive it, but to see other makes like Ford, Chevy, and even Hyundai taking great steps while we take none is so frustrating. I'm sure Mr. Katayama is rolling around in his grave right now. Not cool Nissan

This...this is sad. I just got done reading a 12 page thread from 2009 on the Honda S2000 forums about the 370Z. This is EXCATLY what the S2 guys said. I.E. the competition ran away from the S2K, Nissan has either given up or I hope pulls a feckin magic trick like David Fugging Copperfield.

While it sounds like a terrible idea, it really is quite nice in person if done right. You can't tell it even exists... I have an M4 and have no complaints.

pretty soon everyone in the stands will be wearing headphones while watching live F1 races...
