LNissan shouldve done what Chevy did with the camaro, with the Z and the Juke.
As much as i liked the Camaro 5 i couldnt deal with its interior, heft and lack of visibility. The Z was a pure sports car by power, dimension and handling. The transmission and steering both responsive. The Z won in my book.
6 years later im in the 2nd gen camaro, still want a nismo Z to mod. But how did i actually jump in the Chevy?
The camaro was evolutionary. I didnt think in the beginning id be interested in an evolutionary camaro till it gave me a revolutionary driving experience.
Nissan claims they didnt know where to go with the Z. Yet they made one of the strongest engines in the Q60.
Go dual clutch
Modernizing the chassis, using the current Nismo body kit as the standard for the evolution of the regular Z35.
Updating the z in the exact way the camaro was updated, minus the electric handbrake. Just do like mustang there.
But give an integrated link system on the stereo.
Configurable electronic triple gauges.
Smooth out exterior lines
Much more aggressive head and tail lights.
Lower the stance by 1", = 51" in height. And enhance the turbo technology to have a stronger exhaust sound like a Benz.
Thats it...
Same couldve been done with the juke instead the juke would now get a dual clutch unit that would be in the Z35.
Chevy did everything except go dual clutch.
And the evolutionary was simple but made the car look revolutionary.
Nissan just wants to make a quick buck. They are the GM of the 90's and the toyota of the first 12 years of the millenium.
But i also blame the enthusiast. Everyone hated the Z until nissan said theyre not interested in making it better.
The z is way better than people spent talking crap about it for 7 years straight.
It was better than any muscle car or bimmer of the last generation that delusional iphone/starbucks people were trading them in for.
When you follow trends n not your heart you lose good things.
