What I like about him is, he's himself. He's just an enthusiasti giving an honest opinion. No bullshyt, No elitism. Just his real opinion.

I highly respect him and Sofyan Bey. If that's how u spell it. Everytime I see that dude in blue? I think I'm watching an episode of punked. Lol

Try being a Toyota fan....at least Nissan has a sports car in their current lineup.

It'll be a while before we see the "FT1"

This is the same story, with every manufacturer.

I used to have a WRX in the past, I've had Hondas, and even a lifted Jeep on big tires.

Everyone complains about their manufacturer. No one builds what the 'fans' want. Get over it

If you love the current Z so much, get a '15 or '16 with low miles at some point. They are never going to turn the Z into a 450hp twin turbo anything, its highly unlikely.

At some point in the future I'd replace my Z with perhaps a newer 5.0 Mustang, used GTR, C7 corvette, etc etc, theres a big list. Part of being an enthusiast, there's always many options out there with pro's and cons.

We don't really gotta get over shyt, homes. It was Infiniti that started the 400hp rumor and it trickled into the Z. At one point, the engines themselves were confirmed. Nissan claimed it would be Mercedes design but built in house. This was in fall of last year. That info was steady info for 8 months till the back to basics rumor resurfaced.

If half of you/y'all don't care? Ignore the thread. Some of us are really looking forward to a class competitive Z. Some of us wanted the turbos so we can cut mod costs in half, since the car itself already is a fairly large purchase for some... Some of us love the car to a fault. And yeah, some of us get mad at shytty flip floppy news...

I think the Z is already competitive but if Nissan throw some TT from factory it would be a lot more just my 2cents!

But future wise, cars are really bumping performance up and the Z is gonna need it little bag of tricks to stay competitive. F.I. would be trick one. If BMW can make the 228 class competitive? So can Nissan.

The 228 accelerates to 60 in the low 5', is modifiable and completely enthusiast friendly at 40k. Completely class competitive. If you're into modding? The 228 is a great platform. And we don't need all that luxury the BMW has in the Z So it's doable to create a hardcore sports car for reasonable cash.

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

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.

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.

I think the main drive of the Z is the looks for me and I like it's look far more than any other manufacturer, with honda's at a close second. I am not one who is going to track my car other than maybe 1 time a year.

I just hate the styling of american cars

I also live in Oklahoma, so corvettes are a dime a dozen here. I guess the location has really jaded my appetite for american styling.

Still talking / dreaming of a twin turbo v6 is not happening guys. We'll be lucky if Nissan even comes out with another sport car until 2019-2020. They're already getting left behind by ford, Mazda. Even Vw has a golf r coming out and Honda has a new civic si. There's a new Miata . New focus rs. So many segments Nissan is doing nothing in.
