I have always thought there was a perfect color for each car.
Of course,rides like a Chevy Vega,Ford Pinto do not fit into this category.

Having a difficult time with the PROTO.
The yellow does look good. But,color on a car to me is that it will look good each day you
go out and look at it.Yellow may get old fast. Really don't see dark colors that will do
the best on the lines of the 400Z. A bright silver,the blue(I'm not a blue guy)shown
on the PROTO does look good. Nobody does a green...
So,I'm torn on the color. When I order my Z33,Silverstone with burnt orange leather was
THE color. It still looks new to me.
Suggestions?

right. It will be a 400hp car priced in the range of a 4 cylinder supra. Undercutting Toyota by a high margin. And with the option of manual? If Toyota doesn't offer a manual by next model year? You will see loads of supra trade in's at Nissan dealerships.

As far as the corvette goes. The c8 now, is what the z34 was... a standalone car. The corvettes competitors are about $100,000 above its weight class. So the Z35 will in no shape way or form be a corvette competitor.
The camaro and mustang drive like sports cars instead of muscle cars. Since 2013, the American market has dominated the foreign market. We haven't seen anything like this since the Buick Grand National and the Pontaic Firebird GTA.
But even still... i don't see this Z as a direct competitor to muscle. I see the Supra & Z as its own rivalry revisited. And hopefully mazda & Mitsubishi will bring their competitors into the fight.

I fell in love with the Q60 engine. And I have wet dreams about the VR30 getting a real transmission & stiffer chassis thats lacking in the Q60. Also. If the development of the Z somehow improves the Q60 drastically in its refresh? Will the Z be the car to buy? Or the Q60? Cuz the Q60 is gorgeous!! Its going to be an interesting year.
Chevy patented a high compression 5.7 pushrod 350cu v8. So we may even see another American sleeper??? Im just glad that the sports car arena is finally perking up and we are seeing new options.

https://www.motorbiscuit.com/it-does...w-nissan-400z/

On another note. People are hatinv on the Proto Z. Smh.

1. Its a proto. So there's room for improvement.
2. With all the whining for a manual car? Nissan DELIVERED!!
3. The overall shape is beautiful despite a desperate need for aesthetic and physical improvements being needed.
4. 400hp 2seat coupe in the low 40k range? Who else is doing it at that price?

This is what i hate about the American enthusiast market.
We are the least enthusiastic and least satisfied, then wonder why we dont get foreign nations best cars!!
People are ridiculous.
I agree on basically all of this. It's a tuner's dream as well with the ease of additional power we can coax out of that platform. It's a niche car for sure. I don't want to bet all my chips on the 400hp until we get that in writing from Nissan, but surely at this point they recognize that's what we want and they have the tools in the shed for that already.

They have to have learned from the mistakes Toyota made with the Supra. Regardless of your opinion of the car (blah blah BMW blah blah), I think pricing it within 10k of the Corvette was their biggest folly. Granted, that only gets you the basiest of the base Corvette and you can't actually pay 60k for one for another year or so due to demand. But still. If you can afford a 50k car, why wouldn't you save just a little longer for a 60k one that punches waaaay above its weight class? Hence, Nissan need to price this thing competitively and provide more value at the same time. Chevy pulled that off, and here's Nissan's chance to do it too. I still believe that if Toyota doesn't reduce the Supra price or give it more bang for the buck, the Z and Vette will be the only two options and it'll die for another 20 years.

All this to say, if this turns out how we predict and they fix that horrendous nose on the Z, I think a lot of us will find ourselves at dealers preordering. Time will tell whether all of our speculations are correct. But hot DAMN isn't it so fun watching it play out?

You know after watching this video it got me thinking. Seeing that the interior now has that yellow stitching to match the exterior paint, do you guys think that will be a customizable option? I really hope so. Also the same goes for the brake calipers; will we be able to choose different color calipers? Because with the current gen they only come in red.

I think if they had 3-4 color options for the calipers/stitching that would be perfect, let's say: yellow, red, black, grey? Those 4 colors can accent well with just about any exterior color.

HIGHLY doubt Nissan will offer customizable colors on stitching/calipers. Very niche products (Porsche, BMW, Audi) offer these options albeit for lot of $$. On my Audi currently, if i wanted to change the interior stitching color when ordered I would have to pay upwards of $1100 per area i wanted changed (seats, dashboard, etc). Calipers were $2.5k. I could get them powdercoated for under $1k aftermarket.

They'll stick with the Black/Red for calipers since its their Nismo/Racing heritage. I'd take the Orange or yellow anyday but its doubtful. :/

Can't wait for more details on the car.

My overall opinion of the Z Proto has definitely changed. It looks much better than I originally perceived. I can say I like most of the new design besides the square grille. That is my only gripe, which I'm certain they'll change. Otherwise I think everything else looks good.

I have watched a couple of the youTube videos, it looks better than there reveal.
But one of the videos, highlighted the front bumper area, if you see a picture of a 240z, it looks a bit like that, have to image the chrome bumper.. but I get it now...

Still not a fan of it, will just have to wait to see where it ends up ......

maybe to go along with my 370z, maybe....

The more times I see this car, the more I love it. I had a feeling it looked much better in person. Glad he confirmed that, even though he emphasized that it’s going to change. If it’s 400 HP and priced 40Kish, I’m standing in line to order one today. Sight unseen.

For something I never thought would ever happen, I think Nissan knocked this one out of the park. Credit were credit is due. Well done, sirs!

Anybody want to buy a slightly used, slightly modified yellow 370z?

Feels like if Nissan just adds another inch or so to the top of the front bumper and does some esthetically pleasing / functional venting on the sides we might be golden boys and girls. Here’s to hoping. Also is anyone else thinking this thing is screaming for over fenders like this...
