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.

RACE TAXI (not Ring Taxi) is a subsidary of getspeed.de - which is a performance racing team based at the Nurburgring, specialising in racing Mercs (and Porsches). All their staffers have RACE TAXI logos plastered all over them. This guy could be test driving a Nissan mule because Nissan want to test the drivetrain at the 'Ring, using someone who knows the track like the back of his hand, just to see what it's capable of. You're wrong to assume it's a member of the public.

As for the front bumper, you say in a later post that Nissan have their own test facilities, thereby answering your own question about why it's got flies and marks on it.

Nothing is 100% certain, but my money's on it being legit.

Like someone once said, 'if wishes and buts were candy and nuts, we'd ALL have a Merry Christmas'. At this point, I'm cautiously optimistic, but given the recent news with Nissan and Ghosn being indicted and fired, I'm not going to hold my breath. Like Sammy Hagar says 'It's all just mental masturbation'.....

Race Taxi, or Rice Taxi? Sorry I can't see so... good.

Here's your "Race Taxi". Powered by a 530HP Porsche 993 engine.

#testmule confirmed

MZ DAIZY · 11-05-2019, 05:10 PM

Toyota has sold 643 Supras in August and a total of 963 since the drop. That’s probably about how many Z’s sold for the year.

Again, if Nissan is planning on a new Z they really should be generating some interest. Scream it from the rooftops! What do they have to lose? They afraid people won’t buy the current model? LOL!! That ship has sailed 3 years ago.

The silence is deafening.

There isn’t a day that I don’t get a thumbs up or people coming up to me in the Supermarket parking lot and saying “I had a 19__ 240, 280, or a 19__ 300zx and it was the best car I ever owned!” It’s beautiful! Blah blah blah...

Hey Nissan, if you build it, they will come...

I’m not even sure they’ll do that. Unless you count stickers and paint a “reskin”.

tvfreakazoid · 11-06-2019, 07:09 AM

Well they cant make it look the same.
They change things up.
The most important is the interior and updated tech.
And just as fast the bmw supra.
Minus Nissan's terrible grill
