Same here but from what I read the entire car is a whole new generation. There was a picture of the chassis and wheels on the car (CAD drawing) and the chassis are angled and kind of turned a certain way to be proven more aerodynamic and provides more stability.

Coolest part is the all electric feature. Pretty much turns into a Tesla but looks like an NSX

Got back home after a weekend of Dragon Runs! Sadly a racoon met it's fate with my front bumper and brand new replacement spoiler on the way back 20 minutes from my place.

Sorry brother. That is one good thing about this lip. You replace the pc. vs buying a new bumper. One of the reasons I could not get myself to move to a new one.

I will judge whether or not I need a new bumper tomorrow. It is dented at the side the lip snapped off in two, but I hope there is no crack. Had to tear off everything in the dark and make it drive-able for another 10 miles.. this was a really big racoon!

Dayum that is a heck of a rackoon. Probably a cheaper fix than paying insurance deductible?

I already spent over $500 to fix the issues but nothing has been fixed so far...

Oh, I forgot to mention the string of bad luck with other cars running into me while I'm standing still and some random rock cracking my front bumper just 2 weeks after getting new paint

My Z has caused me more stress than all my other cars combined
I can relate to the rock chips & bugs,,,these cars are a magnet for it/ but mine is a 7sp. auto-no starting issues or clutch to worry about;don't know if you've drive one? but i love mine....especially at 6'6" 285lbs. too big to be shifting gears-paddles & slap stick work great in manual mode! 59,000miles
