Yeah I'm pretty much OK with any kind of modding as long as it's not a safety issue (like scraping along on the bumpstops with body kit pieces flapping in the breeze or giant lift kits on trucks so they will roll right over a subcompact in a 10 mph crash) and I like all kinds of cars, from hot rods to customs to muscle cars and imports... One thing that they all have in common, for all the ones I like, every one of them have some hideous "siblings."

So this rules out a beater '98 civic with camber at 100 degrees and '17's rolling with green neon spinners and a park bench wing? Damnit!!

I don't bash.....I laugh

I guesstimate that at least 1/3 of you guys will get this new Z35. A lot of you are acting like the sky is falling. But I think most of you will be surprised in a good way when it debuts. It sounds promising, in either 4-turbo and especially V6-twin-turbo trim.

400 horses, high 12s stock....I think it will be promising. I think it will be around $50Kish for the V6 TT version, which is reasonable.

dkinghl · 03-29-2015, 02:32 AM

For 50k+ i will definitely get a Porsche or German car.

Also v6 3.0 turbo? leave the turbo/supercharged upgrade for us, we need something bigger than the current v6 3.7

Jordo! · 03-29-2015, 04:55 AM

I wouldn't expect the next Z to cost any more than the current Z. Nissan will want to actually sell a few...

Antistupid · 03-29-2015, 06:07 AM

I still say they can get more power from a NA VQ for future models, BUT I do think they need a turbo option. That option will insure the car competes for the next few years against comparable cars that are putting down some serious power.... and starting to track well.

The same can be said about the base vette. Why spend 60k on a Chevy, thats Porsche/Bmw money and much nicer cars (except power) all around in my opinion.

Because in my opinion, it's not worth the money. When you look at cars in the market of $60k, their interior is a lot nicer, they have more electronic gizmos and their engines perform a lot better, have a lot more power. The new Z would have to be mind blowing to cost that much in my opinion.

It could very well be an amazing car, we still don't know. For it to cost that much, it definitely has to show it's money's worth. Adding 10K recaro seats isn't going to cut it for me either.

Interesting article. They are claiming that the new Q60 is going to be 55K. If that is true, then the new Z35 will be much lower than that.

Agree, compared to a z34. Everything about the z35 is all rumors/speculation so that's why I'm not saying it's not worth the money yet. However, given Nissan's latest products, I'm not very hopeful they'll push the z35 up market.

It's a good thing I'm happy with my Z because I have no idea what I'd replace it with right now.

Tadpole · 03-30-2015, 09:36 AM

Let's not hold our breath for the new Z. This could also be the end of an era with Piss poor sales. As all you said, the new Z will need a serious refresh and definitely a monster motor to spark sales if they intend to make it competitive. If they would drop a slightly detuned gtr twin with a good interior I think the Z would set the bar like it did in 09. We shall see.

MagmaRed370z · 03-30-2015, 10:38 AM

I truly hope is NOT an end of an era.

Edit: But, this will make our 370zs last longer as current body style.

I love my Z as well. Only thing that annoys me from the car is the engine. The vq motor is such a b1tch to get power out of unless you boost it. Mods like new manifolds, uprev tune, yada yada yada is almost a waste of money because it's so expensive for such little gain.

The body and styling of the car is absolutely beautiful though.

Firebase99 · 03-30-2015, 05:51 PM

The economy is good enough, I dont see the Z platform taking a hiatus like it did between the 32 and 33 platforms. The have the tooling in place, the tech, to make a bad ***, bargain sports car again. It doesnt HAVE to beat the Cayman S, it just has to come close enough to make prospective Cayman S buyers..."is it worth it?".
