I know the solution... I want Nissan to get it right the way CHEVY did. People can **** on Camaro all day. But they addressed EVERYTHING the clientele wanted to see out of the Camaro.
A real corvette engine
A lower COG
A real sports car feel with muscle car sound
A sports car seating position
21st century technology.
Modern cabin.
Lower ride height
LIGHTER
WIDER
BETTER BRAKING OPTIONS
MORE CUSTOMIZABILITY

i mean i'm sure IF there's a next Z a lot will be addressed and at least the tech and interior to be brought up to 2016 standards. the newest Z/nismo is just new seats and same old tech/interior because its there why change it and raise cost.

also i will say i think the current braking (sport option/mismo) isn't bad on the Z. I've never had issues with them and feel they work well.

The list was geared to the Camaro. Not reflective of what I expect in the Z.

It's just amazing how well Chevy listened. I'm just hoping for the same quality in the redesign process with the Z.

Our brakes our fine. They just need standard brake cooling throughout the range.

Does anyone know how large is the motor in dimensional terms?

Wondering if an engine swap into the current Z be feasible over the standard route of turbocharging the VQ37VHR? (Where I'm from, a TT conversion costs well over $30k)
