[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

UNKNOWN_370

Exactly..... At least with our cars. Turbo kits yes are expensive. But the tune is under $1,000 and our Ecu's are fine. I love our cars. I just wish we got updated substantially better. Like now it's our interiors lacking. Contrary to what some people say. I think the 2015 Nismo update was a homerun compared to the 2013 Z fascia update. That was a nightmare. But our interiors should have been updated across the board in 2014.

It's arguable the sales #'s aren't their for that many refreshes but.... We are a FM platform parts bin sports car. Nissan made miracles from the scrap heap and came up with software to make our cars distinguishable from its infiniti brother along with weight reduction, a shorter wheelbase and a more aggressive feeling transmission program. I don't think keeping the updates going when Nissan has more bread and butter vehicles than most imports is going to significantly hurt their pockets. Considering they have these cars and are very conservative on being technological leaders outside of EV technology. Why not pay attention to the sub halo car as well? Make it look your best as your sports car is representative of who you are as a company!!! If the Camaro and Corvette weren't doing so well in performance and quality reviews Those bland *** Malibu's wouldn't be selling so damn much. You know how many people get into a Chevy to one day hope to trade up to a camaro or vette? Whether they do it or not. That hope is there.... That hope sells a brand. If Nissan had a worthy Z? It would increase sales across the board.


As far as the Supra goes.... I think the ECU will probably be BMW sourced. That Supra looks very much like a hardtop Z4 with Japanese body language. I think the Supra will be exactly that. A hardtop Z4. That's not a bad thing.

I just think if Nissan goes back to 1989 thinking for the next gen? They can outdo most sports cars with that infiniti engine. But the 2017 Nissan Sentra Nismo has me wondering if they're taking sports cars seriously at all???

Nissan seems to be abandoning their core market for a new market altogether. I guess they feel we're a dying breed? They may be right? We may have to go to German cars or the Supra after this? Or go back to muscle. Which isn't a bad thing considering. But nothing drives like a Z. There's a handling prowess to the car that is completely unique to the motherboard world. The sounds May be gruff and course. But the feel of our Z's have an exotic flair.

WTF Nissan? You giving up on us!!
