Fast forward to 2 months ago and I find myself test driving a 2017 C7 Corvette Stingray 8A and I get the same lurking feeling about my Z. I leaned into the throttle in Sport mode using the paddle shifters and a whole new part of my brain was awakened by the torque, gobs and gobs of torque! That was it, no more making excuses for my 10 year old car. Bye-bye Nissan. Until the next Z can lay waste to the outgoing Stingray I will not spend my money in your direction. For crying out loud I can get 30 mpg in the Stingray...



Best wishes for all Z owners and I will always be open to restoring or modding a 240Z but will not buy new until Nissan totally overhauls their entire performance division and approach to all things automobile.

Congrats! Also, you'll be waiting a loonnnngggg time. The outgoing Z is just an even match for a 20+ year old c5 corvette, much less a c7.
