Which Z35 would you buy?

UNKNOWN_370 · 03-12-2013, 09:25 AM

With the varied rumors running around about the Z. We know some facts but other things. We can't tell fact from fiction.

Fact: The Z will be leaner and meaner.
Fact: the Z will be a friendlier platform for the masses
Fact: The Z may have multiple models and engines.

Lets go with the multiple model and engine categories I would like to know which would you buy??? I'm going to make 4 Hypothetical models and I want to see which one you guys would choose???

Z35 choices
1. 2.4 ltre turbo 275hp/270lb tq engine 450 lb weight reduction $33,000

2. 3.0 T direct injection 370hp 320lbs tq And 300lb weight drop $40,000

3. 3.7 direct injection with 350hp/290lb tq and other fine tuned improvements. 100lb weight drop. $35,000

4. Limited production 3.8 Nismo TT 480hp/385lbs tq with all the nismo trickery and weighs as much as the current '13 touring auto. $55,000

I went with 3.7 the Z34 evolution is good enough for me. After this car all be sitting in another make and model.

I am all for the power so I'd go with the Nismo TT.

But 3.0 T direct injection seems to be a good choice too if I can't afford a Nismo.

I want lighter! I want better mpg! I want better exhaust note! I want better manual trans! I want better paint quality! I want non crappy speakers!

And most important of all keep the price near 30k! The z barely sells because its an overpriced value now

Kewl...

Vote in poll please. I personally don't have paint issues. but i think Gun metallic might be a reason for that?

b1adesofcha0s · 03-12-2013, 11:06 AM

I'd go with Nismo if they did it right, otherwise I probably wouldn't get another Z. Would have to be better than the C7 at that price point though.
