Ouch, $40K base Turbo z35? I was hoping $35. Some decent options and $50k is awfully close. Which puts "on the fence" buyers, well on the fence. Not to ruffle feathers but yet the main reason I traded my Z for a 3.8. Whole lot more for quite a bit less. Yes it's lacking a couple ticks in speed but I've never noticed it DD it. And with Genesis going solo, along with Ford and Chevy $40k options this Z35 better be spectacular. I'm not dismissing it, I love Z's, they've pulled many rabbits out their hat. I'm hopeful.

The Gen will NEVER HANDLE or have the driving dynamics of ANY 2 SEAT sports car let alone the Z. With a 16 hp deficit an automatic Z demolishes auto Gen's. They only compare acceleration in manual transmission. Steering feel, seating position, seat contouring for serious driving, Rev limiter bouncing, DRM/SRM, AKEBONO, Rays wheels, ALUMINUM suspension and many other internals are far more superior to the gen, that's why they practically give u a nav for free. They know what they lack. Even the brembos on the Gen need more than just pads n RB600. You forget unlike everyone else here I know the gencoupe inside out. Nobody here cares to give it respect. I do... I like the gen a lot...but... It's NO 370Z. Not even a little bit. If you think they're close in performance it's cuz you've never pushed both of them. The Z needs Koni yellow swifts n an alignment n ur good. Gen needs the high end stance or ark suspension set up just to compete with a Z. Keep it real mah man

OK but you're contradicting yourself. You want Nissan to make a DD Z EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW!!! ITS NOT A DD CAR!! Let's get down to brass tax. I have a DD.N I still DD my Z on n off. To me I can DD almost anything. So what you consider DD is subjective. I drive fairly aggressive. I prefer sport position when I drive ALL the time. I TRADED a G37s for a Z. N I didn't opt for all the wacky doo tech junk I had in my infinit. That should tell you a lot. So yeah,if you like DD'ing 2+2 coupes more? U got NO BUSINESS HOPING FOR A BETTER Z. It seems Nissan already made your car right now. The Q60 coupe.

Or you can lose another 50hp and get the 4 banger. That may be slower than your Genny but will still out handle it. 400hp is for the money men. Expect the new Genesis to be infiniti prices. So u may be stuck in a Kia coupe or different less powerful Hyundai RWD coupe?
