I come back because I like this forum and I still think the Z is a great car. No hate here. Fit and finish of the Z I had was top notch, very well put together. Some good folks on here and I like to keep up on what Nissan might be coming out with down the road. Other sub-forums are great too, especially the detailing forum and the Junkman. It irks me on other forums when people make fun of the Z, call it a Datsun ricer car and all that jazz just to downgrade it. They especially hate it for the door handles but really that is just a small point IMHO. I agree, speed is not everything. I'm a true car guy, hell I even like Miata's, S2000's all the way to Challengers, Mustangs, you name it I can appreciate it for what it is and the connection it has to people for various reasons.

Ok. I will let you stay here. Lol

I won't consider the C7 till 2017 model year. I am strongly considering the vette Z06 in the future though. I'm often thinking of making the ultimate sacrifice and going into the $100,000-$150,000 market?? I've never been there as an owner, always stayed under $50,000. But I'm looking for an extremely raw experience. I will only do this if the Z is a FAIL as well?
I've driven cars in the upmarket range. Maybe it may be kewl to own one now? But it's a lot of cash to give up on one ride. We'll see?

^ why not you only live life once why not shoot for the best and be done with it. Im with you in those price range.

FPenvy

i'm right there with you. the Z has been my most expensive car purchase to date since i got it basically brand new sortly after release with 1200 or 1500 miles cant remember.

but yes if the next gen Z falls through or they massively fail with the re-design i'll end up going the C7 route. i priced out a Z06 and the rough estimate for me was 95K with 2LT pack, Z07 pack, Nav upgrade, etc... obviously i'm not able to that now based on purchasing a house very soon but in 2 years that 95k just went to 75k and i'm cool with that lol plus the dealer license helps out with getting very nice deals at auctions

I am Ford man, always was, j/k talking non-sense here ... all kidding aside, the Z is an awesome car and the next Z will be great as well as the one after. I don't think there is anything near that for the money.

I have to say, I absolutely hate Nissan dealerships, they are garbage, they are stupid, and they are ignorant, from sales to service, all to me is garbage. I wish the Z was sold as an Infiniti, the difference between the two is huge. Bottom line is I absolutely love the car and I guess I will sacrifice the stupid crap I don't like just to keep driving my Z, it's a bad a-s-s car any way you look at it.

Now if I were spending well over $50-60-70-80k I would be getting a Porsche 911 S, hands down the best car. In fact, my next car will hopefully be a Porsche 997S, put a good warranty and call it a day. Porsches do not depreciate much if at all, try trading in your 1-year old Vette and see what they give you.

for 70k just give me an Alfa romeo 4C and leave me be
