I was a teenager when all the fast and furious 2000s **** kicked off... SO I have a huge softspot for gaudy decals/wraps/paint But for some reason im really not liking the way they did them on the 50th anniversary car... It looks like someone took a base model and just slapped some rice paint/decals or whatever on it, Im sure some color schemes are better then others though.

Since we're on opinions here, I think they should just kill the Z. No one is buying them, and they're not looking like they are going to put the VR30 in the car. I get that it's a last "analog" car with it's manual transmission, port injection, and basic gauges, but at some point, the car itself is just plain outdated.
If I were in the market for a sports car now, I'd likely get a Supra. I'd go for the overall balance of performance and core experience of the car as a whole vs looking at features. Give me a base model with only the "performance" upgrades and i'm ready to go. I would likely modify it anyway, and I love how Toyota has set it up to do that; reinforced trunk lid, air flow that can be unblocked when necessary, and early access to the tuning companies (who already have some parts in working prototypes for the car). There would be no way I would even consider buying a new Z. I care more about how the car over/understeers way more than whether I have to use a clutch to change gears, but It's all down to your priorities. You either adapt or get left behind. |

yeah, i wouldn't go for the 2020. They haven't changed anything, same cluster, etc. Nowadays every car has a digital cluster. The cluster on the Z looks outdated compared to other cars. Thankfully I already have another car if I were to sell the Z to get a different car. I'm thinking of 16-17 vette grand sport

Hopefully all the rave reviews of the new Supra being Toyota's best drivers car ever forces Nissan's hand to do a thorough rework of the Z.

Nissan will put out a Z34 with a VR30DDTT call it a 300ZTT and then kill the program.

I am amazed... "Kill the Z.." Wow. Sell yours Buddy, you don't deserve it. Why not buy a BRZ,FRS, XYZ or LMNOP or something like that. I think you'd be happier. Then move on to their website and spare us Z Enthusiasts please.
Back to Point, I think the Sport/Touring Model is now re-labeled as the 50th Anniversary. I just checked on the NissanUSA website and you can pick up a 50th Anniversary Manual Tranny with the Synchro-Rev Match as well as leather appointed interior, Bigger Brakes and 19" Ray's... No Fear, it's just a labeling issue, but it's still there...

Seriously... that thing is FUGLY! Before I plunked down 50 large for that rolling turd, I’d put $25,000 into my Z and never look back. My Daizy puts out the same numbers, looks a ton cooler and cost me $20,000 less. I don’t need digital gizmos. I actually like the analog gauges. |

I think Nissan made a mistake producing auto Nismo models. Honda doesn’t even make auto for their Si lineup. it’s a bmw badged under a Toyota. I personally am not a fan of German cars.
