I hear ya brother.

American politicians and corporations LOVE to wrap themselves in the American flag to praise how they love soldiers and sailors, sending them off to fight some godforsaken war in some crap hole country. But when it suddenly comes to benefits, pay raise, or updated equipment... they're suddenly quiet, talk doublespeak, or unwilling to do anything. :shakes head:

It's been like that since... well... forever it seems...

I will take over you ready

Nissan Z 2016. V6tt with 450hp curb weight of 3000 pounds

soooooooooo you put together everyones wish list items lol

cmon now anyone could have done that :stirthepot:

^But he said "Your Welcome" hahaha Attachment 93890

You're*

Yeah wrong Your... you are welcome

I like how we will harp on that buy the 1000 threads on here about people's "breaks" not brakes gets overlooked.

How does LoL fall with the grammar folks? How about no caps at the beginning of sentences? How about ;kapkgadrkgp;akdf;akdfpoaksf;ooka;of';df,';asdjf/a.ksmfladmf;azjlfl,d'fgj.'dkg;kdjfg.sdjrfgksdl;fgn a'dkgkadmrg'.aidg ?

:Ok,back on topic: Attachment 93897


The new Z will have wheels. /Thread :icon14:

Tapatalk made me lol.

Wow!!
 

I had the 1994 twin turbo RX-7 and it was awesome for its time. The pictures in the link look awesome!!!

*but

I'd honestly rather have Nissan discontinue the Z and focus solely on the GTR vs a half assed attempt for the z35 that is intentionally handicapped to keep its performance distant from the GTR

*cough* Camaro vs Corvette *cough*

And I don't want this to happen unless the GTR starts being offered with a manual again.

Would be interesting if they decided to keep the Z NA and GTR TT'd...

but really as long as the engine is made by MB this will probably be my first and last Nissan.

Not really because the Camaro still gets performance attention from GM. IE.) Z28, ZL1, 1le package on the SS/RS models. The interior and overall styling is just cheaper than the vette

The Z on the other hand, has been pretty much ignored By Nissan (sans some minor cosmetic changes) since its debut in 2009.

and the thing you forget is that while yes, the camaro gets those upgrades, it also makes it almost as expensive as the corvette...if nissan were to do the same thing to the Z i doubt many people would buy a Z that is just as expensive as the GT-R. that has always been the main goal of the Z is to keep it within a price range that is affordable for the common working class person and upgrading it like you suggest will put it out of reach of those people. personally i think it's rediculous that there is a camaro that is just as expensive as the corvette when the corvette is supposed to be their top of the line.

Stolen from another site. Seat frames changed? Softer suspension? rear fender liners? LOLzzz

What site was that from?

Good to know its from a reputable.....discussion.....forum....:icon14:

It is reputable actually. Thats why it is actually affiliated with Nissan UK.

Perhaps the site is, but Zedlister the member with a grand total of 75 posts would not be considered a worthy news source.

FYI I counted like 4 grammatical errors on one of your previous posts.

my grammar may be off at times but you bitches can't touch my flair

Discussion will be closed if it cant be kept on topic

The speculation should just be that, No need to turn this into a penis contest.

The specs and reviews out for the 2015 Nismo from Z days can't remember if there are changes to the 2015 non Nismo models yet.

can it be a penis contest? :yum:

grilled italian sausage :yum:

If the Nissan IDx becomes a reality and costs less than $30K... I won't mind the Z going upmarket and costing in the $50K range. That doesn't mean I'd be getting said Z... I'd probably buy the affordable IDx... but at least the Z could get nice things that would make it go faster and perform better.

I don't see why Nissan should compete against itself with two $30K sports cars. I'm also not a traditionalist who thinks the Z must be Nissan's cheapest racer because it's always been that way. As long as the price is justified by performance and Nissan still offers an affordable sports car, I'm good with it.

Seems like the IDx will give me the cheap option... and the Z will finally be worthy of it's inflating price tag. I've no problem with that: I don't have to own every Z that's ever made. Just a good sports car.

I could go for a boosted I4 in the IDx. As long as it's RWD and manual, that would be a fun-*** car.

I know it's asking for too much, since the IDx is Japanese and not American, but I hope they can somehow give the exaust a throaty tone that makes you proud to be a man. One that causes immaculate conception to all women in hearing distance, each time it's cranked or gunned.

But... you know... it's a Nissan... ;)

noisy exhaust is not the 'thing' for the normal folk so i dont expect it to be loud at all.

even the G35C's exhausts were considered loud for those living in condo/apartments with garage structure parking.

:gtfo2:

straight pipes!

That's what the aftermarket is for. 3" downpipe, and two 2.5" resonators.

No, it won't. In fact I can't see it being anywhere near the base GTR. If they bumped the HP and added suspension packages on the current platform, it still won't take it to $100,000. A loaded 2015 Nismo is just shy of $50k, it won't cost an additional $50k to added some performance upgrades. The Z, in my opinion, should be in the $40-$60k range and compete with the corvette, like the Z32 did. That's my hope for the Z35. Who knows.

Note that I'm not saying the current platform is worth $60k, I'm saying the new one should go upmarket.

The Z35 isn't going to base with a 211 hp engine, its lower than the 1900's; like saying its going to be diesel. Its going to have 375 & 400 hp for the NISMO. A 3.0 liter is too low, & Nissan isn't going to go lower than 3.5 liters. The line would collapse completely. Nissan will only go down to 3.6 liters & up to 3.9 liters.

It will probably have launch control, because of the Mustang 5.0, new TPMS with readouts,, faster gears (2015's), about the same weight, handling improvements, better brakes, & improved aero. The S2K & Supra aren't returning either. Toyota's model is already out, the FRS. The LFA replaced the Supra, hence FRS. Nissan already picked a fight with Porsche, it has to stay in it with the 911-991 C2, & C4. Expect a low 12's car & a 0-60 of in the high 3's.

But again, we all know the Z has a marketed 0-60 of 4.6 s; yet, I can ET 4.2-4.4 s...The Z is going to be in the high 3's, with being able to knock off some more time - no worse than 4.0 s, so yeah, 3.9 s (with a possible 3.7-3.8 s).

There's a lot of certainty coming from that crystal ball of yours. You shagging Ghosn's wife? :rolleyes:

Huh? Can't the new Z have 3.0, 6 cylinder with a turbo? Mercedes has a 2.0, 4 cylinder turbo putting out 355 horses that push a 3,500 lb car to 60 in 4.4 seconds.

Remember, Nissan also understands turbo engines, they got a 3.8, 6 cylinder pushing 595 horses. So a smaller 3.0 turbo with taller gearing in the high gears or a 7th gear could help Nissan increase its mpg ratings city & hwy plus improve power at the same time. Also an engine like this could be used to power the Infiniti line of cars in the USA as well. Keep in mind, Infiniti is already using the 2.0, 4 clyinder turbo in Europe already.

More info on the next 370Z
 

The Mercedes engine with hybrid setup has pretty much been confirmed so I would come to terms with that. Also the rumored turbo four will most likely also have additional power from a hybrid setup so both versions will most likely best our z34's and should justify the rumored higher price tags.

Rumors aside, is the presumed reveal still happening in January or is there anything sooner on the horizon (end of Oct)?
