I almost did the same lol

I'm just really sad it's gonna take 2 more years most likely until it's available to buy. By then it'll already be behind the curve most likely. If they want this Z to sell and work they need to get it out now. Not 2019/2020.

Just saying, where are you DCT naysayers to eat crow?

This thread already exists... It's litterally 2 threads below.

Nissan is not stupid enough to not offer a MT for the Z right?.....

I'd have no problem going somewhere else for my next purchase if so.

A broken clock being right twice a day doesn't mean it isn't broken.

1) the DCT is going to be shared with the Q60 and Q50, if not other Infiniti models. That reinforces my point about DCT even being a possibility - a point you refused to comprehend.
2) it's still going to touch $60k optioned out. It will cost $50k for a 400hp version. 300hp isn't competitive per your original argument. So the bang for the buck prophecy you insisted upon hasn't quite met reality just yet, so don't get too excited.

If and when that new Z comes out, I'm sure it will not look like the C&D rendering. I'm also in the camp that believes it will be 400 hp or just a tad bit more, with only a DCT shared with Infiniti and it will not weigh lighter than our current Z.

Below is the list of all cars sold for 2016. Look at the number of two seat sports cars sold and you'll see that it's a very small percentage of cars sold. For a manufacturer to invest big R&D dollars on a one off car, with small sales, just does not make any financial sense and Carlos Ghosn is a $$'s & sense guy. So for a new Z to exist, it will have to share a lot of other components with other Nissan/Infiniti vehicles.

I don't see it being a 500hp hybrid like the article hints as a rumor.

I see it being 400hp maybe 425hp to separate the Z and the Q. The nismo will be 450hp since they already stated than an ipl version of the Q was on the bill with 450hp.

The dct is fine with me if it works. If it's the same one on that cla merc I have at the house god help us.

Weight I'd say will be close. The engine is lighter now and whatever extras for safety I think it'll come in at 3350-3450lbs
