Definitely proof this is an aggressive refresh moreso than a redesign. We shoulda gotten a decent shift knob in 2013. That said... an aggressive refresh is not necessarily a bad thing? Maybe they pushed the wheelbase forward or backward? Maybe extensive use of high tensile steel and newer tech chassis fittings can take 100llbs off the chassis?
New tech can make the infotainment area much lighter.?
Resttructuring the trunk can give us more storage space? Hoping for at least 11.5cu ft trunk.
Advanced suspension tuning can add up to .3 seconds of acceleration and improve lateral grip.
As stated before. Im praying they have an updated transmission for both the Z and Q60 upon release?

Overall i said in the past and ill say it again. The Z can get away with gradual refreshes over radical changes. But they need to stick to a 6 yr cycle. These cars may never sell over 10k units a yr and thats ok. We just need a respectable car.
Take lessons from the porsche 911 & corvette. The C4 C5 & C6 were essentially the same car with simple yet essential updates. Just dont make the interior quality mistakes chevy did.

I dont know if the stock Z will beat a supra? But thats ok. Its 10k cheaper and still going to be much faster than the z34. And lastly. Nissan built it!!! Not BMW. Or a subaru hybrid.

I trash Nissan when they eff up but i gotta give them respect when its deserved. N the Z is Nissan all the way!!

PS... thank God for the handbrake.
