I honestly don't know what could possibly replace a Z for me for what I want. There just aren't many manual 2-seaters out there anymore. I see way too many Corvettes that wouldn't want one. The new 718s have Subaru motors, and I'm not spending $80k+ for a 4 cylinder. And the F-Type V6 manual is no quicker than a stock Z for almost $90k. No thanks. The new Supra, like all Toyotas, will be a joke of car. And its Z4 brother, which I had high hopes for, is now rumored to be automatic only as well.

Alfa should have blessed the 4C with a manual. I might have gotten over the fact that it was only a 4 cylinder with those looks and at just under $60k. As it stands, it's looking like I'm just gonna run my Nismo to the ground lol. The only thing I can think of is maybe an Evora 400 that's been sitting on the lot for a while at a discount.
This pretty much sums up my thinking. I'm not some "MT or bust" purist - my 350z had an automatic trans, and it was great, but for me it just wasn't the sports car experience I wanted. I know modern AT's are faster, and I know some people love them. I want to shift. I want to learn how to do it, to feel engaged, to do it well. There is joy in that. I think I'll supercharge my Z, and upgrade any components over time that I don't think make the cut.
