Unimpressed by the 400z

I guess it's hard to accept the fact your car - which I'm sure you love - is about to be "obsoleted" in some way.

Since selling my 2011 370Z, I've had a Mercedes AMG CLA 45 and an Audi TTRS. Both great cars with amazing engineering and build quality. Also with exorbitant maintenance costs.

I've been seriously considering a C8, but the new Z has really caught my interest. Part of it is the Z community, but a big part of it is price (half of a 3LT C8) and Nissan quality.

What I really want to see is the Nismo version. If it really is a baby GT-R with AWD, DCT, and 500HP, I'm in. I can't imagine it costing more than $65K which would still make it an outstanding value.

Like mentioned above, let's see what the production models look like, how they perform, what they are equipped with and what they cost before making any negative comments.
