Nissan has a twin turbo v6 coming for the new q60 coupe that's been confirmed.

Its not a stretch to imagine it going into a Z

Infiniti Q60 Coupe Concept Photos and Info – News – Car and Driver

Those are good news my friend but they still a damn Concept like the Toyota FT1:shakes head: At least Acura are producing the damn NSX finally....

Toyota ....at least they put out a teaser , the new Supra ??? I believe BMW has their hands all over it.

and from what reasoning are you basing this off of? nissan already put a TT V6 for the GTR, so i wouldn't rule out FI for future Z-series cars.

and again, from what reasoning are you basing about nissan getting "left behind"? you can't really compare a civic si and a Z, as they are worlds apart. coming from an FG2 07 Si (which btw isn't that much more different in terms of performance from the current Si), i can personally attest that they are completely in different classes.

nissan has a new 4 door sports car..









with a cvt...

:ugh:







with simulated AT gearbox shifting feel...

:facepalm:

lets make it automatic so you can feel like a f1 driver.


or better yet, lets make it seamlessly smooth so you can feel like a super good MT driver.


now let's add simulated gear box shock cause dat's sporty and makes u feel like a pos driver in a nissan sunny.

:wtf: a Nissan Leaf with out CSC problems.... where is it??? I want one for the DD :p
:icon18:

I thought the GTR was an inline six, at least it was a couple (?) years back...shows how much I know...:confused:

Ok. Let me say this one last time cuz some of y'all really don't get it... The Z34 is an ...

The Z is completely cost effective @ 5,000 units a year. It has

Mass produced chassis
Mass produced transmission
Mass produced engine
Mass produced ecu
Mass produced intake plenum
Mass produced brakes

The most unique features of the Z is
The shell
The SRM feature on the manual
The interior bits

This is NOT a GTR running on a mass of exclusive parts.

It's a Frankenstein car from the infiniti bin.

Depends on what you're comparing it to. If you're looking at cars around the $30-40k range I don't think it's all that competitive. The Mustang and Camaro definitely out class the Z in terms of performance. When the 370Z was first released, it was competitive with those 2 cars. Both Ford and GM have updated them since then and left the Nissan behind because it failed to do the same.

This is the reason why I didn't even consider a Z for my next car purchase. If they had released one or confirmed any details that revealed it could be competitive with those cars soon I may have considered getting another one. I had decided on getting a 2016 5.0 earlier this year and then I started looking at used C7's. As soon as I test drove one, my mind was pretty much made up. Just placed an order for a 2016 C7 like 2 weeks ago and should be getting it delivered around late August. :excited:

My point still stands. Every car that poster mentioned except the miata is a mass-produced car meant to sell 100s of thousands. Stop taking it personal that Nissan is not making the car YOU want. It's a business meant to make $$$.

Like I said, just enjoy the car and stop worrying about it. :tiphat:

:tup:

I'd love to take a test drive in a C7, but considering I couldn't even get the asshat salesman to let me drive a USED C6, it's pointless. :shakes head:

:iagree: and congrats on the C7 dude!!! that damn vette looks amazing... and trust me I love the new Mustang chassis especially the 5.0 Performance Package :drool: I love my Z... but if that chassis arrive at the moment that i be thinking on buy my Z... the story was different loool!

Thanks guys, I can't wait till it's finally here. As far as getting a test drive in a Vette, I think you just gotta find the right dealer. First place I went to wouldn't let me test drive one either. I got lucky that my cousin works at CarMax and they just happened to get a used one in on their lot. Wasn't able to take it out for long, but it was more than enough to convince me it was the right car. Then when I pulled back into the lot, I realized that I had left it in Touring (Comfort) mode the whole time and it still impressed me :icon17:

Felt like driving a Z, but better in every way. I did test drive a 2015 5.0 earlier and loved it, but the size of the car did bug me a bit compared to the Z. That's why I started looking at Corvettes. Looks better inside/outside, drives better, and sounds much better than my Z. Probably why it costs twice as much :p

i guess if ure tracking these cars that would make sense.

another thing i dont understand are these cars and coffee get togethers. u guys just sit around talking/bragging about car specs while u could be driving around and enjoying them. maybe great for photographers and museum goers.

car clinics, DIY get togethers, i can understand.

I have tracked my Z twice and do plan on doing some light tracking on the C7 eventually. I do LOVE to do some spirited driving though. Only times I will go to C&C events now are with our local MAZOC group or one of the larger events in the area to see some new exotic car that I haven't seen in person before.

sounds good :tup:

the skyline r34 was an I6. the nissan gtr r35 (2009+) is a V6.

Thanks for the enlightenment. :tiphat:

When you bought your car? Did u buy it new or used?

I test drive the vette and I'm crazy about it for a host of reasons I don't feel like writing out right now... But in short, as a street car. I still think the Z is still better suited. You get to 60 waaaaayyy too fast in the vette on the street and there's not as much drama that can be had on roads as with the Z. It must've hit 60 well under 4.0 seconds. But I came out of my test drive thinking. Maybe a Z06 as a dedicated track car? The vette was well behaved on the road and it's transitional ability was stupendous. The C7 fit and finish made the Z feel dated. I tested a black vette with red leather. Very nice car. Amazing experience. Getting on the highway Wowed me. That's where the vette took the Z out completely. Especially when I hit the donut exit. Wow... Loads of grip.

For us willing to spend over $70k. There are so many sports car options. Under $70k is starting to lose ground again like the 90's. It's gonna be Miatas and muscle, all over again.

this isn't the "fanboy" in me talking, but the ONLY car i would consider buying over 70k is the nissan gtr.

really? id get me a ferrari 458 and just sit around cars and coffee all day long..lol

I called 8 dealerships b4 getting a test drive appt without getting my credit run for a loan. It takes time but it's worth it

same but I will add:

porsche caymen gts
the new audi TT looks soo promising
I test drove a c7, fun, ran into 3 on my test drive....ehhh....for the price of the c7 id rather get a gen 6 camaro and mod it.

A used Z06 is ALWAYS a great option.

i seriously dont think a c7 is that significant to have to call around so much for a test drive.. :ugh:

:rofl2:

like dat pos mazda dealer dat wouldnt let me test drive their mazdaspeed3 of all cars unless i sign something that says i would buy it. :rofl2:

its a f-king mazda hatchback wagon pos garbage. wtf mang. i just went to another dealer and test drove it. didnt like it.

Dont even care about the stupid rumors, i plan on keeping the Z and next car will definitely be a R35 or the newer model GTRs if they come out in the next 3-5 years

they are not....i could call all the chebbbby delaers in town and have a test drive set up with all of them with in the hour:gtfo2:

chevy is pronounced 'shi borei' in japan.

borei means pos.

so it sounds like 'shittt pos"

thanks kenchan. now :gtfo2:

is it real>????? hahahahaahahaha

for what the gtr is at 120K~.

my thoughts exactly. keep the 370Z as DD and the GTR as a weekend car.

and nah man, gotta get the GT Nismo :tup:

u posted 'over 70K' so i thought the sky waz the limit..

i will bet u that a 458 owner would look at your 120k gt-r and think ... huh, i should get me one too for dd.

true, my bad haha. and really man? if sky was limit, you would only go for a $250k car? lol

if sky was limit for me, i'd get 3 GTR's: one for DD, second for garage-viewing/showcar, and last one for track purposes only.

he would look at the gtr and be like "more than you can afford pal - ferrari" *starts revving engine* :rofl2:
