I think Nissan should leak something to give people a reason to wait. I'm sure many will pull the trigger on a Mustang, Cameron et. or start waiting for the Supra.

Yeah but they can't do it with the same weight, ride height, wheelbase, without ELECTRONICS controlling everything. All we have is VDC for the suspension/wheels and some transmission programs such as Algorithm & SRM/DRM. All our performance comes from being an analog car that has been engineered by human being to perform.

The corvette and camaro have been computer programmed into being good. Electric lsd, steering sensors galore, intelligent correcting left and right. Those have become poor man's Porsche's from an electronic standpoint. As the years grow I'm really beginning to appreciate the Z34 as the last analog car. It truly achieves a balance the rest can't. When people say there corvette is superior to a Z in every way, they are not realizing they have WAY MORE electronics controlling their back wheels than a GTR has controlling 4 wheels.

When we MOD our Z's we are building an old school'is car. A REAL car and I LOVE IT!!!

Our electronic steering shuts off after 20mph so navigation through a parking lot or something that facilitates slow driving is easy. After 20Mph. It shuts off and we have hydraulic steering. These cars today. Always electronic.

YUCK!!!

Something to think about.

I mean even if the supermodel has a loose goose I'd still mash (like let's take mclaren for example). Then again you got your girl next door type (z) can get augmented (boosted) and be a beauty of her own.

The Z has no electronic steering assist.

Yes if does. Hydraulic steer power assist, that's an electronic system that shuts off once u pass 15 or 20mph that's why the Z steering is numb under 20mph.

It has an electronic power steering valve that controls the flow of the fluid but it doesn't have any electric assist.

You are so spot on and why I love the car. I see guys in the new corvette and one guy in particular in a NSX that are really fast around the track, but their lines suck. The car bails them out of their bad driving habits. One guy posted a video of him smoking around the track in c7 and a couple of instructor lit him up because of his poor car control and course management. The one instructor was like you need to lear how to properly use your throttle as you can see the traction control ligh comes on every time you exit a turn. He told basically that he needed to slow down and learn type to drive so that he could turn off or down the nannies so that he could go faster.

The owners manual calls for Baby Oil only! :tup:

Honestly.... That's true of any thread that passes 10 pages.:roflpuke2:

:tiphat: OK kool.

As someone who loves the Stang and considered jumping ship, I did not because of the steering in the Stang. Even in track mode it has a dead zone. I dated a girl who let me drive her 15 model and it just felt like more of a handful when taking a turn aggressively. The Z glides on rails and for this reason I dont think I'll ever leave me Jessica (Z). I'll get a second car, but always have her in the driveway.

Thanks for that feedback. Most cars today have that "numbness" in the steering.

My wife and I just bought a Q50S, love the thing but the steering can be lame. Driving normal its great, but start darting around and it's like WTF is going on lol! Pretty much everything is going that way it seems. Not holding my breath for the new Z, very well could be derivative.

I drove a Miata for a decade as my only car and my manhood is still intact! We should all strive to not let other's perceptions of how we live our lives affect how we actually live them.

Yezzirr, the steering makes the car. Many overlook this for power. If the Z has 86 power levels, maybe I'd overlook it. But 332/350hp is just enough to keep me focused on our Z34.

Watching "Dancing with the Stars" tonight with the wife and it looks to me like a new Z is on the dancefloor during someones routine.

:worthless:

Whaaaaat?!

Well it looks like a new Z to me. I hope it is, so I dont have eat crow in front of all you...

lamborghini huracan

Well then just get the crow out for me. Medium rare please...

:iagree:

Why were you watching that show?

You're gonna want that well done. Crow are carrion birds :o

Because his wife was holding a gun to his head????:wtf2:

New info on the rear drive Kia Stinger shows it might add for more competition for the Z35/Q

http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...er-4-9-seconds

Especially if it's offered in a coupe and with manual transmission. The turbo 4 engine option shouldn't be very competitive but the TTV6 might draw some attention. Price hasn't dropped yet but that will really determine if it's going to be in the same conversation for comparison.

I hope Nissan has done some major advancement to the Z in all of this silence they're giving us. They are probably silent because they either have something truly noteworthy or they have not met expectations/nothing to separate them from the competition.

Now now, lets not make this about me.... or I'm not sharing anymore...

sounds like a man in distress. Blink twice if you want us to call the police.

Congrats on the Q! Did you get DAS on yours?

The Stinger sedan looks great in person. But with all the issues with the Genesis manual and Hyundai/Kia manuals in general, I would be leery of a Stinger manual.

not to mention its just 4.9 seconds to 60. We live in a glorious age of cars, why would I settle for a 5second car?

This car will suffer from HP envy just like the Z. It will be a different story if they put low enough CR so you can crank boost. Also, bet they will skimp on suspension and chassis stiffness. They will need to take a lot of shortcuts to hold a price point people will bite on.

Saw it at the Toronto Auto Show and I came away with a meh on the looks, to each his own I guess, it's not bad but I expected something better from the guy who designed my SUV (Peter Schreyer).

I will test drive it, but it won't replace my Z ever.

Repped.

Nissan NOW states 370z successor is NOT a PRIORITY!!!!

Nissan Says A Successor To 370Z Is "Not A Priority"

In other words, we're too much of a bunch of shook bitches to compete with the likes of the Supra and Camaro.

boom!

If I was a Nissan employee having to face a Toyota Rep. This would be me... (guy in car would be a Toyota rep).

Sounds like they don't have a f@cking clue on what direction, or what to do with it. :shakes head: Or maybe they are trying to throw everyone off the trail, and surprise us.
