Next Generation of NISMO Performance Announcement Coming 2/26

UNKNOWN_370

When i first bought my 11 Z (my second Z34) I had written Nissan corp a long letter about a lack of product support from Nismo products. I explained to them how a Nismo exhaust/intake/suspension is something that is not advertised, pushed advised or given as an aftermarket accessory through dealerships.
I told them there is way more aftermarket support from Ford and Dodge with Ford racing and Mopar. I explained that GM has no real performance division but still pushes companies like Hennessey etc right from the Dealership. I gave TRD as an example of a car company, that has pretty much destroyed it's racing heritage and builds sub-par sports cars still has respectable aftermarket support. And other examples.

I received a automated reply saying thank u blah blahblah. Nsmo improvements were the BIGGEST part of my letter. Nissan is going to have to make some corvette like sacrifices to make this next Z a hit. The Next gen Nismo can't be the automobile equivalent of a Boob-job.

I must say though, the 2014 nismo is gorgeous imho but our cars need more than appearance packages. I still think the 09-12 look is still as hot looking as it was in 09. The 13 refresh did nothing to improve the Z as a sports car and it's upsetting. Very upsetting. I really hope this New Nismo, isn't just a marketing scheme or JUST a research center. I hope we see some real performance upgrades and a huge increase in AFTERMARKET service from Nissan.
