I just hit 40K on my blue 2009 and have throughly enjoyed driving it all along the way. I came from domestic pony car world 1972-1997 Trans Ams and Formulas, the Z was a breath of freash air for me. I am leaning toward a C7 within a year but was awaiting the mid engine C8 release. While I like the Q60 as starting platform for the next Z I almost can't see Nissan backing this for lack of projected sales, and while I like the design of the 2015 Nismo its too similar to my 2009 sport pkg with a 10K or more increase. So this is what is leading me towards the C7, I know it has its flaws, every car does but I do know one thing I am keeping my 2009 370Z and will park the C7 next to it .

Went with a Z06 and never looked back

My 2010 Nismo sits at 104,677 miles as of today

Z has Lots of "plus" marks, as opposed to later competitors....

No stop-start
No CVT transmission
No turbo from a tiny engine
Off button for stability control
In general, less nanny stuff.

We will all miss this lack of things when they are later an enforced "standard" in all sports cars.

That's what will make the Z a desirable "classic" car in the future

I don't know if I can afford a full ZO6 but everyone tells me their worth it. How much was your 2017? The mid-engine C8 isn't going to be introduced till later this year as a late 2019 or 2020 they will be still selling the C7 through the first few years of C8 production. 70K to 150K are the cost estimates with two twin turbo multicam V8s, although they may still offer the LT1 and Cadillac may get their own model of the midship. The only two things lacking in the present C7 are a more Cadillac interior and to continue to improve the shift linkage on the 7speed manual.

Get a sexier tail pipe, maybe? Apparently that's what Rusty did.
