'14 Nismo or "Z35" Detroit

Chuck33079 · 03-03-2014, 10:26 AM

I would hesitate before taking that guy's post as fact. I can't imagine there being enough Nismos sold to justify making more versions of it. Until I see something official, I'm going to file that under the "wild-*** speculation" we like to get into here.

agreed but if you think about it they will have the transmission laying around and i they bolt a AT to a Nismo they could probably sell more.

if the nismo had a "touring" or "tech" pack plus a &at i would have bought one instead.

i wanted nav and leather. the nismo interior is terrible looking to me lol just cloth and nothing special besides the number plate.

Yeah, but from an accountant's standpoint it doesn't make sense. They sell less than 10k/yr Zs of all types. People should be happy there's a Nismo at all. I'd have bought a Nismo with leather and nav (you can keep the auto), but that would be a $50k car and that's a hard sell. The last time a Z cost $50k they killed it.

Well, to be fair, if this site is a valid breakdown of 7at vs 6mt owners, it's the stick that needs to worry, not the auto. Driving a manual is a vanishing skillset.

Yep. It's part of the pussification of America.

ouch lol

i would go into further battles with you but lets keep this about the Z35 and we can have our MT v AT discussion in the premium section lol

Nothing more on that needs to be said. It's obvious which direction the masses are pushing car manufacturers. It doesn't make it right, but it's the way things are going. On the upside, in another ten years my car will be theft proof since no one will know how to drive a manual.

Too funny. Manuals for the win... even my crappy daily driver Jaguar x type I had was a manual. To me it's the only way to drive. We would always laugh at automatics at the races... so you have to step on the gas and hold it there until the end... wow how do you do it. Lol

As for the amount of Nismo's they will sell etc the fact is the Nismo will become more like the Sti or MR evo not limited edition more of just a version like the track model 350z.

If the new z isnt reduced in weight they have an epic failure on their hands. I remember seeing the 370z which was to be a downsized 350z but then they somehow come out heavier. We don't need 14 inch rotors, a million metal braces, use .ore aluminum and shave the weight down. I assume I will be driving the next supra. I can't see Nissan making an intelligent move here.

I wouldn't go that far with it. Majority of cars are automatic. But there are some vehicles that just can't be auto or people will riot... That is why options were invented and I think that's cool.

Also I wouldn't say completely theft proof. Z gods forbid someone jacks your Z, but they could burn your clutch to bits.

GTR engine in Eau Rouge =

211hp turbo 4 = da faq? a little bitch ford focus puts out 252hp. if thats the engine they try passing off in a new Z it'll probably be the death of the car lol
