And that is why most "drivers' cars" have evolved into GT's (Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche included, MB, Audi, BMW really never were except for some very specialized models).
And that is why dentists drive 911's.  |
You're so right, cuz when our Z's dropped, we had a bunch of fruity pants pansies here crying about NVH n road noise. It was seriously pathetic. All I really wanted from our Z's was a slightly more aggressive suspension, a much better base radio considering the entry price.... then finally.... The engine should've sounded like the VQ35HR and we needed a louder exhaust note.
I could care less about infotainment, power seats, NVH well, it could've been slightly better but not enough to trade out like most did. Lol.
You can tell that people want sports cars in name only. Nissan already went this route in terms of the Z34 and the populous complained it wasn't GT enough. Even with the Q60 there to please those lifeless drones they still want a GT Z. I wish those kind of people will wake up in the morning and not wake up. They disgust me.
People buy a Z which is a SPORTS car and want it to be a mustang with 2 seats. Go pester Ford to build you that shyt. Don't come to Nissan to whine like a Lil bytch cuz we are at the right price point for you.
I pray the Z35 is a 400HP 240z incarnate, with retained hydraulic steering, handbrake, an improved vdc that will NEVER interfere a re-engineered lsd so it can lock up better. Sometimes we can still peg leg under certain conditions. I want it to be light, loud and annoying. I want stock BOV's that'll scare little children and a sport exhaust. THAT sounds like fun to me. And the people that don't agree. I hope they keep buying Mustang's and BMW's. They make what the cry babies want.
If Nissan would've catered to one market, the original Z market with the Z34, they would've sold like hot cakes. Auto paddle shifts or DCT are the only extra option these cars need. I wish they sell the next Z in the same style package as the GTR. one stereo, one set of seating options.
You want raw? Buy a Nismo.
Nissan doesn't need to cater to GT fags
