Hell if Toyota can't build a new supra without partnering up with BMW, no way in hell nissan have a chance. Basically its a body kit and I'm sure Toyota made their own performance mods to the BMW engine.
At least nissan is using most of their own recycled parts sort of speak for the most part. But other than the 3.0 tt engine and hopefully the auto trans will be good.
But the question is, has nissan improved on the 370z chassis for the updated Z?

You are correct.
Many points, most negative on kicking off the new Z at this time.
A major point is price . Even if Nissan offered a really new Z, from the bottom up, that was priced near 60K, there would be a search for buyers.
Add this to the number of true performance sports buyers out there, it is a small number. Times have changed, many do not really care what they drive
or even own a vehicle. Yes, smart for Nissan to offer tried and true parts in
a package with more power. But, price will be the driver.
To paraphrase a line from the cheesy reveal video, I am (not)stoked.
