As far as the corvette...what's the price again? Is it 29,000 like the entry Z? Heck is it 41,000 like the Nismo? Uhhhh forget about the Nismo. The sport model is what 32,000? Again be realistic. We all know how hard it is to shed weight on a production car. You tearing out your stock car is yourself. On a production car not so easy. What's realistic me is...the Z gaining 50-100 lbs but increases in power...but that kind of performance would threaten the GTR symbol. Nissan has already said....if you want performance go GTR. The Z will never have that kind of performance, it'll be good but nothing like how we want it to be. Last edited by wanderer1234; 07-20-2016 at 01:24 PM. |

I've been absent for awhile so I guess it's about time to step back in and voice my opinion lol This pic makes me worried if the Z looks like this. Besides the widow/cabin top shape and squished z34 headlight it kinda looks like a new civic in a way. I keep seeing people saying that the car can't be 3100-3300 lbs and have 400hp for 45k. I think it absolutely can. If you're comparing it to the 58k BMW m2 with similar weight and 370hp remember you're getting their dry **** in your *** based on their logo.....because bimmer right? A sporty Nissan is a different story. Honestly the price won't matter for me it's just going to be based on looks. The weight and power will be bang on and options will hopefully finally be updated.

Nissan could easily start the car sub 3k weight depending on where they want to place the next generation Z, will they, probably not but it can be done without shooting the price to the moon or Porsche territory.

Look at the twin sisters...BRZ/FRS....they cost almost the same as the base Z with 142 hp less. The truth sucks sometimes. We all like to dream. Making a car and developing a production platform isn't the same as your regular mod where you can just cut an old platform shorter and build on it. Lol. It takes thousands of hours and millions of dollars to make it safe and reliable so it can be mass produce. Last edited by wanderer1234; 07-20-2016 at 02:03 PM. |

Yeah, I don't like it either. The one concept I liked: 370z New.jpg

Technology moves forwards, cost are reduced, and the platform sharing is actually fairly new with recent partnerships in the past decade. You have to take the current generation with a grain of salt for the future, it is a starting place, but we do not know Nissan's ultimate plant (if even the Z will survive). They could be working on a new engine, platform, components that the 370z could not have had because of initial cost, but now such items like carbon fiber or more aluminum are much cheaper and viable helping keep overall per car cost down but allowing weight reduction.

100% agree, one reason I said I am on neither side, truly I am on the side that believes Nissan might kill the Z again. With such low production it is a tough car to keep on the books in a high volume car manufacturer.

Nissan is a HUGE company. They have the $, the machines and the manpower. Id like to see a Hybrid Z. 400+hp all in, loaded for $45K.

Nope.
This is moving completely in the wrong direction IMO. That grill is sh!t and FPenvy hit it on the head sayin' it's kinda lookin' like the Civic! If this is any indication, I'm worried...
