No, it doesn't have quite the performance of the Z, I wondered if I'd miss that selling my 370 for the 3.8. I don't. It has 95% of the performance (I'd argue mid range the 3.8 would put a hurting on a 6 speed though), for the same price I got my base 2013 with sport, I got a 3.8 decked out in all the tech, leather and goodies you could want for slightly less than I paid for the Z. It's a fantastic Touring/commute car. I do miss the Z a little. Mostly the looks but the fit and finish inside is IMO above Nissans. They've come A LONG way in a short time and will only get better.

to me it's a Hyundai... after i sold my acura i was looking at a 3.8 and i went and test drove, my friend worked at the dealership and gave me hell of a deal. still i couldn't manage to buy it. the rear looks nice but the front is hideous, at least to me. the fake hood scoops too. to me the high tech package doesnt matter, i have a acura tsx fully loaded but i still use my phone for navi, go figure lol.

I read that as well. Hyundai is supposedly considering to replace it with a sport sedan M3 fighter.

I stand corrected not M3 but 3 series competitor. Here's the link.

Could a New RWD Sedan Replace the Hyundai Genesis Coupe?

No matter what a smart man should have 3 to 4 years to wait before purchasing the new Z. We still don't know when it's going to come out and even once it does only a fool would buy it in the first 2 years of being out. Way I see it, a 50th year sounds just right

there isn't a "safe" car out there once you take it over a certain speed. Once you hit triple digit speeds, every car is pretty much a driving coffin.

mmmmmmhmmmm now we're talking :yum:

but this forum doesnt allow that talk so i have *not* even done anything near over any speed limit *nor* maxed out the Z...........on multiple occassions.

:wtf2:

The other thing is develop your own engine Nissan please don't put an engine from an unreliable car maker. It is the heart ad soul of the car.... i can hear it now..so you drive a Nissan with Benz motor.

How about we put a little money forward like you did on the gtr which was a huge risk and create either a beastly 4 cylinder turbo motor or in line 6 turbo motor and make all Z owners happy to buy one.

This is my vent to Nissan if they are listening... lol

Only light speed?
Dark Helmet: No, no, no, light speed is too slow.
Dark Helmet: Yes, we're gonna have to go right to ludicrous speed.
