I was at ZDayZ and got to see this car debut in person. I have a ton of pics and video and got to sit and play around in it. Great seats, same ones from the Juke RS.

The wing is the only thing I don't care for because it's not aggressive enough to be a Nismo.

The wheels I love. However, I'm not sure I like them more than the 09-14' Nismos.

Agreed. I like the changes, but I think it's the novelty that I like the best. Given more time for the novelty to wear off, I think I'd prefer the previous models' body panels and wheels.

The extra fender flares actually look like something bought off the Autozone shelves to be honest. They're just pieced onto the car. If they didn't want to make special 1 piece fenders they could have at least molded the fender flare into the front bumper....

I do love how they got rid of the silver within the car and replaced it with a dark graphite looking color. Check out the door handles and plastic trims around various things like the shifter and such.

Is the front Nissan emblem embedded in the front bumper like the current Z'z? Or is it just sitting on the bumper like the 370z emblem on the rear?

I didn't pay that much attention to that but I zoomed in on this pic I took and it definitely appears to be embedded into the bumper like the previous ones unfortunately. You can see a slight outline around the emblem indicating its embedment.

Also, Just an FYI.... but when we were talking to the guys from Nissan at ZDayZ they let it slip that they are working hard on an "RS" version and possibly a supercharged version. In fact, they went so far as to looking at Osiris' Stillen supercharged 370Z at our cabin. Apparently somebody at Nissan is good friends with the people at Stillen and they've been doing some research on it.... and more was said but this is about the most "concrete" stuff we heard coming out of their mouths.

And there is where rumors start, lol.

All cosmetic? Eh... Not interested. But an upgraded powerplant will definitely catch my attention. As long as it dosen't come with brittle parts such as a CSC maybe :tup:

And, theoretically, a better final gear, so allegedly a wee bit quicker.

:iagree: I think this is getting overlooked. This should make for a much peppier car. Everyone who has put shorter gears in a Z has raved about it being the best mod they've done.

Perfect balance between street and track...

I have to say, I really like the wheels the more I see of them.

I'm a bit mixed after some further reflection on the wing; I think it's nicer than the current sport package offering, but I wonder how something closer to the S-tune wing would have looked...

Definitely prefer the front fascia over the old Nismo front, and really loving those seats, which initially I didn't really care much about.

No opinion on the new black interior accents vs the brushed silver, but the red ring around the start button is very silly looking. A GT-R red start would have looked better, and everyone will throw the OEM one in the trash for the red button anyway...

Have there been any metrics on handling, braking, cd and acceleration, or nothing yet? Like to see if it does all better than the last iteration and if so, by how much.

Have to agree. I hate all the silver trim
