yea i was reading how the turbos will spin at 225k and max at around 245k? i think those were the numbers. fast little guys lol

Yup. Makes me think they aren't very big. Which could be nice cuz the power band will always be almost instant.

Agreed. Also I'm impressive with the torque being all 350 there at 1600rpm all the way to 5300rpm that's not bad if the hp peaks at 6400 and let's say feline at 7k

Now it just depends on how much it falls off.

Well, I've been contemplating cars for a year. I've thought about the pros and cons of going 6 figures. Have read insurmountable reviews of cars etc... I feel the car that fits my personality and my preferred driving dynamics most is the MB AMG GTS... But configuring the car to my taste reached a whopping $159,600 before ttl. I can't go that high. I believe the Z in my mental theory would be the next best car... If the Z disappoints somehow? I've come to the conclusion that there's only one logical replacement. The best compromise between price, performance & style would be the Jaguar F Type... My only gripe is the electric steering in 2016 and it can go on a 200lb diet for the price.
I know the corvette would be faster, but I believe between the two, the jag probably had the better steering feel and the best quality for the money. I am not concerned with being the fastest guy on the block. And I think Jag n aftermarket KW may actually make a great team coupled with the optional carbon ceramics to reduce unsprung weight.

The test drives will tell the truth but. This is my theory from extensive research and reviews. I'm enamoured with the Camaro, but feel 188" for my driving style is too much mass.

Hoping the Z is everything I hope it to be so I can save a ton. I really want my next car to feel really special.

Thought I read somewhere else red line 7500 but could be wrong.

I'm just worried about what the final price would be for a 400hp Z.

That would be soo insane... Not a lot of high revving turbos out there. With the right exhaust note... This car will be most desirable

I'm hoping the new "Z" will be released and proven in a couple/3 years, then I'll be ready to slip into one. :-)

But I think I'll go automatic with the next one...

Can't wait for this powerplant, I am sure a simple tune will bring that 350torque up into 400 range.

The real question is how will this reflect on the prices of used 370s and is this a good time to dump the platform while waiting for the new one?

I remember when the 370 first came out and hit the dealer lots the used prices for lightly used 350s dropped a good chunk (I know because the price for my 08 with 20k miles went from ~24k down to 18k pretty much overnight.

im sure the price will drop a bit but the 370 is a much better car than the 350 so I think it "may" hold a bit better.

I think I may just keep my 370 forever. at this point no reason to sell it and get a low amount back.

On the interim values dropped on the 350z substantially, but after 2 years they climbed up and stagnated fora few years before going back down
