So you gain and lose keeping the Z heavy.
That NWO PS4 steering has a heavy azz manual override steering column interlock further adding weight. Then factor in the numb steering, electronic handbrake, and other stupidities like hybrid batteries on certain models. The Z will probably be between 3,400lbs and 3,600lbs.
They'll say our base model is 53lbs lighter than our outgoing Nismo model yet out powers and out handles it on paper. It will just be a numb feeling appliance where excitement will be on the seat of the pants verses the visceral nature of the current Z. People will talk about how THE Z34 & 135 & EVO X were the last of the visceral analog cars and how the digital world has dulled cars.
But then you'll have your mainstream CORPORATE media mags telling you it feels great, just go with it. Our government needs all that tracking information in your cars that dull the feel of driving. So they can keep record of where you're going, how fast you get there, how many g's you take a turn, whose house u park in front of.. what stores you park in front of and all those useless info-tracking that means nothing. Cars are getting soulless as we get closer to living the movie Equilibrium.
If I'm a buy an electronic car? I'm gonna get the best out there.... Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes. I'm not buying a PS4 on wheels from a company that couldn't even address a CSC failure properly.
Stick to being as close to analog as possible Nissan or it's goodbye from me. I rather spend double.
This company gets more disappointing by the day. EV this.... electronic that. Visceral is being written out if the dictionary. Fvckin NWO is killing the auto industry. Nothing is sacred anymore.
Rant Over.

Nice rant. You are either of my generation or just simple like me.
Ever drive a Lotus?
