Z35 motor theory

I'm not as worried about the engine as I am the hybrid setup that will be paired to it. It's one thing to have a hybrid DD that you don't plan on keeping since the warranty will pretty much take care of you, but putting a really expensive system that will most likely need expensive maintenance work on top of the regular drivetrain maintenance worries me.

Thats a brilliant point. I agree 100 percent. I would prefer if a merc benz motor is used that amg motor listed sounds promising.

I would say if a mercedes motor is used then I would recommend getting a Z from a dealer like i did in charelston sc where they have a lifetime warranty on powertrain. Then who cares about reliability its on Nissan at that point.

Interesting points. If the new Z is a huge upgrade and the price is about the same as the current Z, then our cars will take a big hit on it's trade in/resale value. From a potential new buyers perspective who doesn't own a Z, this is great!

If the new Z gets a huge upgrade and is now priced upmarket, our current Z's won't take a big hit. But it will still cost us the difference to upgrade.

It could be a pick your poison or heaven on earth, depending on which side of the fence you're on.
