LOL great video. Hope they don't ruin th Z like that! We'll take the 400hp but they can keep the rest of the BS off.

Oh god I saw that video earlier and that car looked awful trying to go hard on the track.
I'm going with the others and agreeing the Z won't be like that. For one the sport will have a lsd and I would hope they leave out that stupid direct adaptive steering bs

I wouldn't compare the sedan to the upcoming Z coupe if it happens. Smaller, lighter, better weight distribution, different suspension tuning. Engine and rear diff are probably the only things they will actually share.

On the weight topic I'm curious because they listed this as a 13.0 1/4 mile at almost 3900lbs with an open diff. Imagine a 3300 lb car with a lsd and that engine. Could be something mean like a 12.7 or less stock 1/4 time

Point of reference: 2015 Q50 Curb weight = 3,574 lbs to 3,849 lbs 2015 370 Z Curb weight = 3,278 lbs to 3,510 lbs So, we're in the same ball park, I think, on price, weight, and performance differences. But, yeah, even with the viscous LSD, it would haul ass from a dead stop. More importantly, twin turbos means lots of power potential with tuning ![]()

I agree. Free up the exhaust and better intakes could net big gains on a boosted setup. Look at the gtr for example. I takes, exhaust, and tune nets 80-100whp typically. Same thing on a Z could be nice.

Then subtract about 300-400lbs when comparing to a Z. Anything over 3,650 is the AWD And doesn't pertain to us either

I agree on this. Seriously Nissan, post at least a little teaser.

What Nissan will do (if they do anything) is slap the 300hp version of the engine in there and save the 400hp for a NISMO edition (if they even do that).
As a Q50 owner, I'm perplexed as to why the Red Sport, a model that is supposed to be the BMW M-Sport of the lineup, comes with **** tires and an open diff. That is some weak *** ****. On top of that, the Q50 uses an R190 diff, and I have no idea who even makes an LSD for that, considering Nissan has used the R200 for the last 20 years worth of RWD sedans and coupes. |

Not on a turbo motor. Most factory FI motors make a lot of power with basic bolt ons and a tune.
