Im sorry that made me LAUGH OUT LOUD

no disrespect to mustang owners as there are some owners and fan nuts on this site,:stirthepot: but I agree there will always be faster, hence you have to balance out the pros and cons, and take some sacrifices to drive What you like,as long as you are happy driving it. :tup:

:iagree:

:icon18:Shado-always the frontrunner eh?!
:tup:I think it's happening right now Tam!

hey sorta did it with the 07 G35 coupe. Its the only year with the vq35hr, before 08 showed a full redesign. It wasn't a full redesign but interior was upgraded with a whole new engine that ran only 1 yr in the G But he could be playing word games. 2014 would be the year of the 2015 model year.

I did find this... a supposed sketch of the next Z with alleged info.

Nissan Z 2015: Towards a Descent Range (Mechanical)?

well said. :iagree:

repped

Really, the only difference between the DE and the HR motor was the intake manifold but it's a good point. However, while they were doing that to the G, the Z keep the HR for an additional year and didn't get a full redesign until the 370z came out in 2009.

you sure about that? i'm pretty darn positive the block was almost a complete redesign. it had improved coolant and oil flow, reinforced bottom end and several other changes. from what i've heard it was almost a completely different engine just based on the original VQ design

I have not got my 370 yet(long story of difficulty selling my 350), but highly considered getting the 5.0, my auto group has ford and I could get a killer deal...Our HR office is attached to the ford showroom and I was down there for an appt and they have a 13 gt on the showroom floor (and 2 gt500s outside?) and I had a spare moment...what am I looking for in my next sports car; performance, handling, style? Well the mustang certainly has both the first 2, performance and handling(it does, lets stop denying it), but 20 seconds on the inside I wanted out...back seats, retro styling, ugh, it’s just not me, sure the track apps are cool, but how many crashed stangs are going to be the result of those... Given its flaws, the Z car is well, me...I am a Honda guy though and through, I work for Honda, but they just have not delivered anything like the Z car...sure the s2k, if you like a convertible and you are 5 foot 7 and 130 lbs, you’ll like it just fine...anyway, I will stop there, we are a different breed, when you need a blended car with my criteria, the Z is right there, and will always be there. I knew the short comings and issues of the 350 when I bought it, but it just clicked with me. I will be able to buy a used Z for as little as 25k with the options and mileage I want, do 10k of mods if I so choose, and be right at or above the level of performance of a full bolt on 5.0(my research shows low 400 whp), but guess what, I just might leave this one NA, it’s fun having a "slower" car that requires the driver to push the car’s limits to compete with the others, that my friends is the real challenge. I have dragged my Z at the local strip a few times and have turned in abysmal 13.6-14.2s on 245 nankangs, but guess what, I beat 3 stangs(04 and 2 2010s) and a c5 vette in one day…figure that one out, and lost to a new camaro ss by .2 seconds, even in a stock 370z I would have taken him or at least matched it…Power is Not everything, VDC, well said.

ps, the letter does sound a bit canned, sorry, it just does.

That sounds like a pretty generic response honestly, not an open invitation to send them all of your ideas as to what the cars should be.

In all reality, they have already designed the car and have made the changes. You can't redesign and build a new car in a year... so I would be willing to bet the people over at Nissan have a handle on it.

:iagree:

If you go stang??? Do it right? a gold n black boss302:tup:

:werd:

You basically said the same thing I did lol

I didn't read any of the other comments after I read the first one.

:p

Well like nearly every thread that is in this section it was all offtopic and had nothing to do with the OP so you can disregard them lol

That was one of the most poorly written articles I have ever read. The poor english made my head hurt ta times.
