I had a Nismo Z and I liked it too, it just needed more power and refined engine. The chassis, aero effects, and brakes were great. I could have added boost on my own but it seems that people that do that are always chasing something to fix or some CEL. TPC is the company you are talking about in Jessup.
Nissan won't be able to sell a Z past $50K with the current infiniti engine unless that Z is a 450hp Nismo.

Nissan going silent devalues enthusiast interest in Nissan.

Here's Nissan mentality.

Ghosn: We made great sports car yet America has criticized it and hasn't bought em up in droves.... we're mad let's make EV'S instead even though Americans aren't buying those either...

Product development: Mr Ghosn, what about the 80,000 loyalists who bought Z's and the 150,000 350z owners waiting for a Z35?

Mr Ghosn: Fvck em let them buy a leaf or let Kia outdo us and take our enthusiast clientele with their 2800lb 375hp coupe, like the one we falsely promised our fanbase.

Jungle Z.... the most annoying profit in history. Smh.

I'm shooting for the Alfa but I'm a Kia fan!!! Kudos to Kia for having balls and not a Mangina like Nissan. I'll keep my Z and hold on to the memory when Nissan had a swinging d1ck and didn't make pansymobiles for bleeding heart Prius drivers.

Obviously the manginas at Nissan are too busy reading Vogue, cosmopolitan and out magazine to be on on our forum.

I'm sure they're at the lab trying to make new paints for the Rogue sport to match women's lipstick and colored boy panties.

Nissan lost its edge. Cuz the biggest news Nissan has is a 141hp Rogue "sport" and 200 miles on a leaf.

TITAN is their pride and joy now. All R&D was dropped into this by the sounds of it. They forgot about the rest of the line up.

Not yet but Ghosn thinks your idea is a better investment than the Z. So you'll get one really soon. For now u gotta live thru the excitement of the midnight edition.

Hey, a LOT of R&D went into rebadging what's called the "Qashqai' in every other market, to bring you Rogue Sport! LOL

Personally, I think they blew the product development budget by paying off LicasFilm / Disney.

Unless Nissan does something surprising the new Z is already a fail. There is already another Z that is looking a lot more promising, and that would be the upcoming BMW Z4/Z5.

That is by far and away the #1 reason why I would not buy a BMW. Fanboys with money (not all though).
