Which Z35 would you buy?

kfull · 10-22-2013, 08:20 PM

Whatever they come out with I'm gonna wait as least a year from the start of it's production to see how reviews are and see if any kinks need to be worked out by nissan. I wanna put 100k on this car first anyways

By the time you get to $55K I think it is time for that C7 Corvette. More power and less weight.

The 3.0 T sounds realistic. And still that C7 Corvette sings it's sirens call.

No more need to speculate with the show a month away.

The Z will always be in a hard place to sell due to it's position ad a 2 seat v6 coupe. In the price range it sits... People upcompare or down-compare the Z all day long. Compare stock to modded and the all too common v6 is slower than v8 comparo. The best part is that many people expect a 332hp v6 with 270lbs tq to be equal or superior to 420hp with 400lbs tq.

I just hope what was speculated in the jay Leno documentary comes to existence. I don't need to be the fastest car on the block. I just want the most balanced pkg for the money....

I would go for the small turbo and here's why-

AMG, now owned by Mercedes has a beast of a 2.0 liter turbo that would take a lighter weight Z into new territory. Power to weight ratio will plummet along with lap times.
SEE ENGINE ARTICLE

Nissan will be building Mercedes Engines in TN, USA by the time the Z goes into production.

You want to sell more cars to Americans then manage your supply chain costs based on proximity to your customers. I think Nissan will give a lighter weight, smaller, better looking, and much higher performance version of the Z this time around since it is expected to pay tribute to the 240Z which raised the bar significantly once it was released.

I mean you can't even go public without 500hp...

voted 3.0T here.. Although I have no intentions of getting rid of my Z anytime soon as I am just finishing my build, and when I am ready to move on I doubt I would buy another Z unless its something really special.

zae757 · 10-24-2013, 02:49 PM

Im a Z fan for life since this first one I purchased...Im also a fan of the 3.7; so thats where my money would go

nmjaxx9 · 11-04-2013, 09:24 PM

Z for life man. Z34 that is, would never sell my whip even if someone tried giving me a trade for it.

DavidZ370 · 11-05-2013, 05:37 PM

not a fan of turbo engines....its costly and the makers try to save money which outcomes in more repairs

LukasC · 12-10-2013, 12:45 PM

If they make different engine sizes they wont name the car nismo 380z trt300z turbo 240z turbo etc the would probably just call it a z or zsx or z35 or something like that
