Brother, I'd be a happy camper if this was the only story they were spewing garbage about. Unfortunately...

Deal?

Any details you can share? Brand new Z or another refresh? VR30DDTT?

It would be nice to know what is coming next, but I'm not sure it will be an improvement. Not for me anyways. The latest 370Z Nismo models are quite unique IMO.

Seriously, what is their current competition? You can find lightly used Nismo cars for $30,000ish.

350 HP, 6 speed manual, good chassis and seats.

A base model C7 Corvette with similar miles will cost you another $10k on average and it's not going to have Recaro seats.

BRZ/FRS will be similar prices with way less power.

Current competition is the Mustang, and Camaro. Can be had for similar prices. If you try you can find a performance package GT with Recaros, 120 more HP and all for around 30-35k.

I don’t disagree that the Nismo is nice, but a new model is likely to come boosted and that alone would be worth the upgrade.

Factory forced induction would make it worth the upgrade. I worry that the price will increase significantly if the power goes up significantly though.

I agree the Mustang and Camaro are competitors, but they're much larger vehicles.

Approx 18" longer and 500 pounds heavier.

The BMW 2 series and Porsche 718 are closer size wise, but more expensive.

Looks like the M240i Coupe is priced/speced very similar to the Nismo.

Have job offer for you.

You're either calling me a grumpy old man or reminding me that NA true sports cars are almost dead, maybe both.. I'm not even that old, 35, but I want what I want.

I've driven a bunch of stuff (Camaro, Mustang, BRZ, Corvette, Civic) and looked at even more the last year or so and have landed on a lightly used Nismo.

No, for digging up a thread that should die.

Congrats on the new Nismo! Most of us agree the Nismo is still an amazing ride. Peeps may be giving you a hard time on this thread as we are all tired of waiting for any legit info from Nissan on a new Z model

Sadly, when you sign a NDA you can't say a thing.

What did your 3rd cousin, from your aunt's 3rd wife', uncle's nephew have to say? I think that is far enough removed.
