significant changes to 2013 model
Hi I am wondering, other than the aesthetic changes to the Z in 2013, what are some notable differences in the newer years? Any improvements to the drivetrain?
Looking to buy a Z and trying to decide if it's worth going for a 2013+. If you were about to buy a Z right now what year would you be looking for? Appreciate any input |

I cant speak on behalf of the older models except for the aesthetic changes, but I bought a 2014 and it's great.. Keep in mind if you buy a newer one it may have factory warranty intact in-case something goes wrong. Best of luck.

Other than the differences between models (which have not changed for the most part other than organization of the packages), the only changes in recent years have been aesthetic. So get whichever one you like better. Personally, I hate the day time running lights on any of the front bumpers. The newer Nismo front bumpers are pretty slick except for those lights.

To add to the list - euro tuned suspension, DRL's, wheels and added magma red colour.

That is the only 'performance' upgrade, and it doesn't count because it is pretty much worthless as an oil cooler

I believe that color is going away for 2017 and they are bringing back the Chicane yellow.
