Why jump on folks that choose to be hopeful? We’re all Z car fans here so let’s just chill and see what happens.

Not necessarily negative, just "reality".

What did the 370z test mule look like?

I'm not full of myself.... I'm just observing this shyt for what it is....
You dont see me facepalming any of your comments or putting down your thoughts. Yall come at me with talks of slappin me n face palms. But whatever.... I really DGAF. Balls are big on the internet, small in life.

I'm just sayin. That's the mule n all the signs are showing it.

Oh and a report said a couple years ago the Z would drop after the juke and a new car will drop on a modular chassis. Well the new juke dropped.

Yep, tons of evidence it's #notatestmule and none that it is. Must be a test mule then?

You are not observing anything, if you had like the rest of us did when this lie came out you would not be banging the test mule drum. Did you try zooming in on the car like some of us did and see all the evidence that is just some dude having a track day. 5 go pros, ring taxi sticker on dudes helmet, bumper and lip beat to chit.

All the evidence is there. You just want a new Z so bad you are willing to believe anything any fool puts on the internet. I won't.

The other thing that make ZERO sense IF this was a mule. Why would they take it to the Ring? They have their own private proving grounds in AZ.

So they could either test out new parts in house, with pits and factory mechanics at the ready or ship it to Germany.

See how none of this makes any sense whatsoever.

Reality means you know for a fact that’s not a test mule. The actual reality is that we don’t know. My point is that you either believe it could be real or you don’t. No reason to be negative towards anyone either way. Let’s just see what happens

As was pointed out a few posts back, Nissan did the exact same thing with the 370 test mule in ‘07. They tested it in Germany wrapped in a 350 body. Not a stretch to think they would do it again. We’ll see though.

Ninissan just does things a certain way when it comes to bringing out the Z. It's always in line with a maxima redesign and G intro.

Maybe possibly you guys are right about that car. But everything nissan said is happening. The juke will be released on a new modular chassis. Happened.
5 cars will move to this platform, with 2 surprise intros.
Havent confirmed the intros, but the platform is now in use.

The Z will be the 2nd car introduced on this new MODULAR platform.

That's what I'm saying. So even if the pic is fake? The news is based on reality. We are in phase 2 of following the trends that Nisssn said would happen. And lastly they said the Z will be here between 2020 and 2022. I think we'll see a Z concept by spring. Just saying.

Oh and ummm.... I'm leaning toward other cars for purchase. The Z just still has a special place in my heart. So I'm not being a fanboy. I'm just sure this time it's coming. I can feel it.

I don’t really care if that Z spotted at the Ring was a test mule or not but something to consider:

As you can see the VR30DDTT fits in that chassis.

There where 3 vr30 swapped 6mt Z34s at Zdayz this year

tvfreakazoid · 11-04-2019, 04:18 PM

Also, a youtuber mentioned last yrs SEMA show, they had the 370z with the 3.0 TT v6 in the 370z with a MT. So that could be a hint. But most likely that's what it will be.
Nissan doesnt have the funds to build a new 370z. Probably a reason why nissan hasnt updated the 370z and the GTR. Especially the outdated dct on the gtr.
It seems the 370z will get a different look and hopefully bring the interior and tech to the 21st century.
And let's hope they dont over due the fake vents like the bmw supra.
And for god sakes please dont use the nissan fugly tall grill.

Its 1 of the reasons why I ended not buying the 370.
It was just to out dated.
Let's hope this 1 will be better than the supra or least look better.

I’m hoping for the 3.0TT and I’d bet that’s what they have been testing BUT, what if they bumped the 2.0TT engine in the QX50 out to 2.4. Again, not saying that’s what I want but it would give Nissan the fuel efficiency, eco friendly engine they’ve talked about and they could call it a 240Z.

tvfreakazoid · 11-04-2019, 05:46 PM

The 2.0 could be a step below. But I doubt it since there isnt a market for it.

Yup, where was 3 VR30DDTT Z's at ZDayZ this past summer. One was the Club Sport. From talking with Spence. Nissan paid to have the engine swaps done by 3 different companies. All 3 have been running around on the street for all year. These are your test mules for drivetrain.
