What did you do with your Z today II

Alchemy · 02-07-2012, 04:08 PM

What I did with my Z today was go outside and appreciate the fact that its not the "refreshed" 2013 model. What a fail. No power bump that the aging 350 got. I totally disagree with the removal of the fangs, I feel they are what distinguished the car and gave it character. That was the 370 "look". Now it looks like a 350. The LEDs look terrible as well. They also took a nicely desiged wheel and made it look like poop. I dont get it. Im almost ashamed. The only thing I like is that the fuel gauge is black ( not hard to do yourself) and the calipers are red (again, not hard to do yourself) thanks Nissan

Way to stay competitive. Meanwhile Ford is killing it with the Mustang and I gotta hear about it all day on here!!

yah, the only thing i liked about the 2013 is the black fuel gauge too. i was hoping they would have factory installed bits like brake ducts and stuff that could be retro-fitted onto our cars.

im not feeling the 2013 at all.

Good late-afternoon my Z fellows!!

Such a busy day, I am still at work but only have time now to post.

so much noise does the 2013Z has drawn, LOL, much noisier than its VQ37

Me too not sure about the LED on the bumper, but I like the new front, I feel the new version is not as 'round' on the front and the hatch, point it out if I am wrong. The new rims.....

(happy dance for NISSAN but in doubt)

I agree. It seems none of the manufacturers listen to what the enthusists are asking for. A TT option, black fuel gauge, ducting and dash LED color options aren't much to ask for. Why go back to a 350Z look, when the 370 is such an improvement IMO.

Don't fret over the 2013 Z everyone. There's always hope, even in the most hopeless times.
