New Nissan CEO, ready to turn things around!

I’m not too concerned with the new stuff coming out; just gonna build my Z34 & be happy with it

Parts are plentiful & in my state, it’s definitely cheaper to build a HotRod vs Buying one off the shelf

Property taxes & insurance is the main BuzzKill

Same here. I’m actually glad there is a delay in the 370Z replacement. I have a problem that I guess would be OCD-related to where I always have to have the latest stuff. Granted my Z is a ‘13, but is the same as the ‘20 Z. A replacement would mean I would have to upgrade and put myself into more debt.

And in regards to taxes, I don’t understand how people afford to live when paying state AND federal taxes, as well as a yearly assessed value property tax on their vehicles. Two things I will miss about FL: no state income tax and none of that BS assessed value tax on my car.

Your car is not the same as a 2020 - It does not have centre console switch to unlock the trunk/rear hatch.

I go up there twice a year (around the Duluth area), and each time I'm there, I always forget that I'm in a rental and not my Z (from the lack of "oomph" when I get onto the gas on the curves).

Would the replacement be as good considering Nissan’s current line up.

I don’t understand how children can afford a Z if you watch the youtube videos...

The model of any business is to move forward and be better than it was previously, so I would think the replacement, should it ever come to existence, would be better. I can say that my 370Z is superior compared to my 350Z.

In regards to children affording a Z, not sure what you mean by this, but the value of the 370Z is falling, as with any car's value over time.
