Looks like the 2015 Z wont be getting a turbo after all???

LOL at being stuck with a slow base 370Z that needs 10,000 worth of mods just to hang with the big boys.

I wont miss this car one bit. I actually swore i wouldnt buy another Nissan after the horrible problems with my 2005 Frontier. Another mistake i have to live with.

You probably got the Z for the wrong reasons then. Get a 5.0 after your lease is up. It seems to be more of what you're after and from all accounts, it seems to be a great car. Not for me, but it seems like it'd be good for you. There will always be bigger boys no matter what you drive though (well, unless it's a Alpha GT-R or something like that, lol).

and what reasons would that be? Looks and Handling? Looks are subjective and the Mustang handles almost as good as an M3 which cost 50K plus.

370Z isnt worth the cost price, thats why they dont sell that well and Nissan is looking in different directions pretty sad for a car that should be an entry level sport car at 30-35K

Relax, I didn't say you're making a bad choice or doing something stupid. Like I said, the 5.0 is a great car. I am not saying the Z outhandles the 5.0 or will beta it on the track or anything. The Mustang handles great and is a very capable car, but I am sure it feels different than the Z. The Z is a good blend of looks, fun, handling and enough speed for me. Do I read forums and look at numbers and get desire for more power? Of course, we all do. But I haven't had an instance in actual driving where I thought I really need more power. It would just get me into trouble anyway which I can already get into easy enough with the power we already have.

Anyhow, no need to be defensive. The Z isn't a perfect car or the greatest car out there, but there are plenty of us who are happy with it. It's alright that you are not. If you want pure speed or the absolute fastest car, then it's not it, though and that seems to be what you want and that's cool too. You must understand, though, that you will get some flames for bashing a car on it's own forum site.

Im not even flaming him for bashing the Z for being slow, because lets face it, it kind of is. Im bashing him for getting himself stuck in a lease and then bitching about it because he didnt by another car that has been out for years now, has a plethora of reviews out there, and could have been test driven til his hearts content.

Apparently you cant read and/or you choose not to research things before you buy them. First off I own a Slomo 370z. Second, I test drove all kinds of different vehicles including multiple 5.0s before I purchased my 370z. I wanted this car as soon as I saw the spy shots for it, and I did my research like any sane person would do before buying a vehicle. Dont get mad at me because you are to lazy to click a mouse a few times, and go to dealerships to take test drives.

Have fun being stuck in your lease of your slow piece of jap crap.

Im so confused as to why you are in a 2012 Z then? I could maybe understand your anger if you had just leased a brand new 09 or 10 before anyone new anything about the 5.0, but that bish has been out forever, yet you still chose the Z. Sounds to me like the Z has some intangible quality that sucked you in. thats what it was for me anyway. I couldnt be happier unless I was in a ZO6.

I know you already feel pretty damn awful, but here is something to make you feel better.
