The 1Le is worlds better than the z, but I actually still miss the z. Everything that it lacked are almost the very reasons that I loved it.
The 1le is still very much a Driver’s car. The downsides are that it’s hard to navigate around curbs and parking lots because there’s no visibility. Always worried about scraping my wheels. But it has so much more power and it is delivered more evenly. The z only made power up high, but the camaro makes something like 300ft-lbs of tq at 2k rpms. I’ve had it on a track and it’s so composed. It really is at home on the track or winding roads. It’s an amazing car. |

More useless Z rumor mill. Now saying both Z and GT-R will or may be ELECTRIC. It's just an abomination. Nissan is just writing themselves out of the enthusiast market. Turbo boost your GT-R. By purchasing a $3,000 battery pack??? Is this how it will be done.
Nissan you're lame. Seriously. This is not the Nissan of 2008. Shyt. It's not the Nissan of 2013. https://www.motor1.com/news/270207/n...0z-successors/

Nissan now saying. No Z35 for the 50th??? Who does that with a heritage car? Oh yeah. Nissan partner Mitsubishi. Watch Nissan come out with a rebadged eclipse crossover as a Z.

JDM is dead. They consistently have to partner up with other car companies to split the cost of building a sports car and then they either, go the cheap uninspiring route or the overpriced I can't believe it's not butter route.

A partnership would be lame for customers, but would make financial sense for Nissan. In the grand scheme of things, the Z is insignificant to their bottom line. I appreciate Nissan want to continue the Z line, but I suspect it will come at the cost of a shared platform or a different setup (electric).
