Nissan, unfortunately, probably won't put a DCT in the standard Z. I could see it in a Nismo though.

Standard automatics are no where near as good as DCTs. No matter what they say. Only the ZF is close, but even that depends largely on programming skills, and even then DCTs are still much better under serious manual performance conditions.

Here's a brightened version of a screencapture from the nissan video:

The shape looks great. I do see some similarities between that purple concept from the Japanese magazine and this image. We'll see. Not a big fan of the detail work on that purple concept.

This lightened image makes it look even more like a revised 370. As in same underneath, but with the 400 hp turbo and maybe a different trans. The proportions look the same. Actually, the windshield and side windows look nearly IDENTICAL to the 370. This would make sense from a cost cutting perspective. Nissan is hurting, and 370Z sales sure didn't help. Sales wise the car has basically been a turd. Dealers basically gave them away to sell them. So keeping the dream alive at minimal cost makes sense. But I'm sorry, my 370 looks better than this teaser car.

I remember when the 370 was finally unveiled way back when. The 350 owners all hated the boomerang headlights and tail lights. I distinctly remember someone posting on the 350z forum "Well boys, looks like our cars all went up in value."

Nissan hasn't even shown off the z35 fully yet and people are complaining :rofl2:

I'm willing to wait and see. As much as I love my 370, I'm looking forward to more horsepower and the rest of the goodies.

The profile of the car is more elongated. The bulkiness of the 370 does not exist in this new car. The hood is longer. I don't see the overall similarity of shape. I see hints but it looks like a different car to me.

I said this two years ago, maybe longer... What they are doing is the equivalent of taking a Vietnam era cobra helicopter and updating it with newer tech and power, then call it a super cobra. You can save costs this way instead of designing a whole new air frame that works. The chassis works on the 370Z, save cost and revise what you have. It'll still be a great car, especially if it is an improvement of the great car we already have. Why not?

Not me, I saw the 370z at the auto show and fell in love instantly. I liked the 350z but then when I saw the 370z I thought man the 350z looks way too tame now and like a “cute” girl car. I’m curious to see what the 400z becomes. I know it’s supposed to be influenced off the 240 but I really hope they don’t go too heavy on the retro revive thing as all the cars that have done that look dated very quickly (mustang etc) and if it looses the gorgeous coke bottle figure the 370z has then I’ll be really sad.

Its prolly gonna have to be 55k, at least as an msrp. I can see a nismo being subsidized down to $51k. But only cuz of the competition. Remember, you still will have a 400ho Z at under 40k. Its more hp than the supra for 10k less. But nissan has to sell the nismo higher. Rumor has it a nismo could be between 450 n 500 hp? So that may be an incentive if rumor pulls true?
The c8 and Z comparison isn't the best comparison cuz its attracting 2 sides of the enthusiast world.
Price comparison does have some legitimacy. But having a Supra n Z out is like having a mustang n camaro. A lot of people will be in it for that 90's heritage. If mazda does an rx or whatever with that inline 6. Its gonna be JDM wars all over again. And I think a lot of guys between 35 n 55 are looking for a JDM WAR 2.

The next gen GTR, 86 and wax all coming soon too. Japan may have a small comeback.

The corvette has no price competition. It battles cars above its weight class. And there will be a market for those guys too.

The real question is... can these cars bring the culture back? Or these beta male soy boy pansies are gonna destroy the culture with hybrids n EV's? Im just glad sports cars aren't dead... yet!!!

55k. It's a nissan. Nissan is already having money issues. Hell the gtr is way over priced.
That's one of many problems Nissan's having. And QC too.
Nismo Z maybe. But that's pushing it imo.
They need to have the 4cyn Z in the 20+k for sure and than go up from there.
But we shall c. They hve to price it right but they need to step up on the QC too.

I'll be in my bunk!
