Their 7 sp dct which the gtr uses is outdated. The current auto tranny is a 9sp which doesnt make sense and definitely not as good in performance compared to other brands. I dont know how well the new Z will compared to bmw supra. Bmws auto transmission is better than nissans. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk

Heres another publication. The hardest part of this car is the transmission and the chassis. Let's just hope for the best. Maybe they can get a new tranny contract and outsource. I know the next GTR must be getting a new tranny. It's a TOUGH market right now where big cars have small car agility. So the Z has to be a small car with supercar agility.

The 350z had like 104" wheelbase and the 370 is 100". I think that's good. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk

Edit - I don't think it will be 'only a new front'. It will be different, but I also think it won't be a radical shift in appearance either.

The programming is probably the main reason why our 7at feel ancient too. BMW and Porsche figured out how to program a transmission for sports driving.
