My mirrors are pushed almost all the way out. There’s still a blind spot. I almost always drop a gear and accelerate to change lanes.

As long as the designers create and design assistive tech the right way, it makes sense in a sports car.

P.S. blind spot monitoring is ugly AF but you're lying if you claim you've never almost sideswiped someone in your Z. Changing lanes is an act of faith in this car.

You guys wouldn't know a blind spot until it smacked you in the azz. Try backing up a 41ft motorhome in a gas station.

I haven't seen any details about this 'new' 3.8L V6, but I wonder what it means for a future Z car.

Probably it's just a refined VQ, but it's a bit interesting that it seems to be more powerful and more fuel efficient than the outgoing VQ40.

I have to disagree about there not being a blind spot issue. I think this may be a relative issue for people depending on height. I am 6'2''. I keep my seat all the way back. My mirror on the driver's side will not go far enough over for me to see what's in the other lane. I absolutely have to look out the window when switching to the left.

A right change is easier but if you are not parallel, if you are are turning into the right lane at an angle, the whole right view is pretty much blocked.

I'm 6'2", I have the seat back about half way on the track for proper arm/leg relationship to the pedals, steering wheel and shifter. A good trackday instructor will correct you bad body driving position.

Lol if you want real engine sound at all, get them now.

Edit: come to think of it, I might disable that stupid ASE fake engine noise crap on my wife’s car, the worst synthetic engine sound I’ve ever heard
