Go for it man! If you have the skill to tame the Z06 go for it!

Me I decided to keep my Z. I still love my red seatbelts!

As much as i like the Z06 the payments make me not wanna go that route plus the Z is all paid off ha ha

My Cal trans orange belts always get attention

It also weighs less (no supercharger and associated plumbing) and has a lower hood. The 2017 Grand Sport is a Z06 in all regards other than the LT4/supercharger.

Make sure to wrap it! Congratulations.

Congrats!

BIG CONGRATS TO OP AND CIGAR CLIFFORD.

Happy for you guys. I'm getting tired too. I'm sure if I don't here something definite from Nissan by Spring? I'm going to jump ship in 2017. Keeping my Z34 for sure though.

Congrats bro, that's an awesome new ride.

UNKNOWN_370 · 12-20-2016, 06:44 AM

OK.... Huffines Chevrolet has the Z06 at a WHOPPING $20,000 DISCOUNT!!!

Think I'll be making a test drive appointment?!

Love the color and if it wasn't for the fact that Corvettes are a 'dime a dozen' around KC, I'd get one.

If Nissan doesn't do a new Z, then I'll keep the one I have and get a Cayman S. Might as well have 2 impractical cars for driving in snow....

I test drove some Porsches including a Cayman S, regular Cayman and Boxsters. I liked the solid feel and handling of all of the, but the fact they have no torque and you need to wring its neck to get something out of it turned me off. Add in the expensive maintenance and repairs and I was out.

Yummy!!!

UNKNOWN_370 · 12-23-2016, 10:31 AM

That car looks very FRESH! Can you get the clear tails on the grand sport? Do you feel at least some feedback since the car is so low? I'm going for a test drive this evening.

I think there are third-party places to get the clear lenses - I don't think a GS can be ordered with them (just Z06).

The feedback/handling are awesome. This car is like a 370Z turned up to 11. More power, more grip, more features.

- Three-setting heated seats

- Three-setting cooled/ventilated seats

- Seat memory (2) plus you can press a button for exiting the car which moves things out of the way (I don't use it but I imagine for some larger folks it's a bonus)

- Actual driving modes that alter everything about the car; throttle response, steering effort, gauge displays, traction characteristics, exhaust sound, suspension settings

- Magnetic shocks that adjust hundreds or thousands of times/per second based on road conditions and on selected driving mode

- Removeable roof
