I love that they are coming out with a new Z, but I’m more than likely going to stick with my 370 because I know all the ins and outs

I love that they are coming out with a new Z, but I’m more than likely going to stick with my 370 because I know all the ins and outs of it, it looks good, and it’s being built for 800-1000 so I’m happy with what I have personally.. but kudos to Nissan!

Exactly what I was hoping for and expecting to be honest. They are simply updating the Z34 chassis. Nissan is not going to spend truckloads of money on developing an all-new chassis when they are struggling now. Throw in the Q60 Red Sport motor with 400hp with a manual trans, update the interior and tech, and bingo! I love how it is clean and doesn't look like it was designed by a 12-year old like the Supra. The rear taillights are supposedly inspired by the 300ZX. Bravo! (I'm a former 300ZX owner and current 370Z owner). Will be made in Japan and likely less expensive than the BMW Supra.

People are clamoring about the tranny. I get that. But what I'm concerned with is the steering. I like my old heavy feel hydraulic system. I'm not fond of new electronic systems. Sure they can have various settings etc, but the settings never seem to get it right. Add to it that some companies lump the steering setting in with tranny and engine settings (all in one sport setting) and it's not my thing at all. I'm really hoping they get the steering right, as steering feel and handling are my favorite parts of my 370Z.

The bmw supra didnt get 50hp bump 1 yr after the release. It makes no sense. Its probably the same hp, but instead they didnt lie about the hp rating for the 2020 model line imo. I'll be in my bunk!

Similar to how McLaren did it with their 720s. That hp figure is at the crank and again i assume u know this. I'm not saying they didnt make any changes, but definitely not a 50hp bump for the 2020 model. Maybe 10hp bump or something and making little changes here and there. I'll be in my bunk!

If they've gotten this car right (and so far, it's headed in the right direction - we'll see if the execution is there), then I'll be ordering one.
Then hoping I pay it off in time to add an R34 when they become legal. WHY NOT JUST HAVE ALL THE THINGS?! |

Having the Z as the flagship is a step down imo. Let's hope they keep improving on the gtr and keep.

![]() the point of that whole video was to hype the Z. why would the tease the new GTR as well? it would totally overshadow the Z in this. i think it's also coming but will get it's own video teaser.

6sp manual is nice, but it wont keep up with bmw supra. Hell Nissan's auto transmission will be there weak point.
