It's a difficult decision, to be sure. I don't think I would wait that long. In 3 or 4 years, I think this decision would start to lean heavily towards a new car but right now I feel like there are a lot of years left in my current Z. I am rather sentimental towards the Z line so I would probably stick with the current one or the new model.
I've been wanting more power for a number of years now. Not crazy power mind you, but enough to feel it. I stopped tracking my car a few years ago as I got frustrated with keeping up with folks in the corners but getting blown away on the straights.
Part of me wants to wait to see the new Z but then again I've watched quite a few review videos, hands-on trials and countless photos so I think I know what I would be getting. My interior is in as good of shape as the new Z and my current screen is larger and more functional. My seats are in great condition and the new Z is really using most of the same or similar plastics as the current 370. So I would be paying $60'ish to get a 400hp TT at the crank, which probably is going to translate to what, 340-360 at the wheel? I've got 317 at the wheel now (at least that was a few years ago on the dyno) so it wouldn't be a huge gain.
