2016 370z...

I didn't think it was bad, sure it's a little rough but it never bothered me when I had my 370.

It's fine for the 370, but if we're talking about a 45 - 50k M fighter Z, then it should be a bit better since we're in a new price bracket. It needs a bit more polish to go with the extra grunt to sell at that price.

M fighter, eh? Why do I get the impression that if something were to fight the BMW M, it'd have to be an Infiniti?

I just don't see Nissan adding all those doodads to the Z that allow you to dynamically adjust suspension stiffness, steering, throttle and braking response. That stuff all belongs in a tech bloated vehicle, which is what the Infiniti brand is for.

For the NVH like the gent suggested at this price point I agree now that you mention it. And I don't think it necessarily needs to be as good as the M E92 M3/4. It just needs to hold its own, like the z33 did with the E46 M3 back in 03.

Yes agreed, drive a Z and M235i back to back and you'll notice the huge NVH difference, so that could be improved. However that's part of the blue collar personality and fun of driving the Z. Also one area where the Z shines vs M is steering feel and let's hope Nissan doesn't lose this on the new one.

I've driven the m235i. It's not all that at all. The next Z NEEDS to fight the M4/Cayman S with real #'s. That's what a Z is! Like you said blue collar price at white collar performance!! They have always done it! They get trumped 15 months later but do it again...at cost. I'd STILL rather have a Z34 against a Mustang GT if all I wanted was...get back to me on that. That's why I'm in a Genny now I suppose. Lol.
