Knock Genny all you wish. She runs with you and for less. In 2009 the 370 was great. It still is. I still miss that rawness. At the same time

Knock Genny all you wish. She runs with you and for less. In 2009 the 370 was great. It still is. I still miss that rawness. At the same time I rarely could appreciate the platform I had. Environment. Money. If I were rich I wouldnt have either. Lol.

OK but you're contradicting yourself. You want Nissan to make a DD Z EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW!!! ITS NOT A DD CAR!! Let's get down to brass tax. I have a DD.N I still DD my Z on n off. To me I can DD almost anything. So what you consider DD is subjective. I drive fairly aggressive. I prefer sport position when I drive ALL the time. I TRADED a G37s for a Z. N I didn't opt for all the wacky doo tech junk I had in my infinit. That should tell you a lot. So yeah,if you like DD'ing 2+2 coupes more? U got NO BUSINESS HOPING FOR A BETTER Z. It seems Nissan already made your car right now. The Q60 coupe.

Or you can lose another 50hp and get the 4 banger. That may be slower than your Genny but will still out handle it. 400hp is for the money men. Expect the new Genesis to be infiniti prices. So u may be stuck in a Kia coupe or different less powerful Hyundai RWD coupe?

Realistically I don't see anyone doing what GM has done in the price range any time soon. Chevy has a lot of v8 powered cars around the world. The Nissan is limited by comparison sales volume. If Nissan can keep up? Then they're doing great.

i missed a pissing match. why did no one throw up the bat signal?
turbo Z will be a good buy even if the base is 40k with good options. get rid of these fuckin 18 year olds who's parents got them a 2009 with 100k miles on it for them to stance and ruin it. i really wish i had a ton of money to get cars where the reputation isn't ruined by people like we are seeing coming into the 370 world now. also the genny sucks

A 400hp Z at $40k is perfect, IMHO. A Camaro SS starts at $38k w/ 455hp and, though vastly superior to its previous gen car, will still outweigh a Z, so I imagine the performance would be very comparable. These cars get cross-shopped regardless of how different they are... might as well make them perform similarly. Honestly, the 370Z isn't terribly behind a 5th Gen Camaro SS in performance, and especially not in the corners. The Z will have that extra oomph in its styling being a two-seater to justify a small difference in price to the Mustang GT and Camaro SS.
Back to the Q60 - this thing will be $55k for its Red Sport version. I'm impressed that the Q50 RS400 starts in the $47k - that's virtually no different than my Q50S in price. I'm very glad they didn't price themselves out with it. This car is MASSIVELY competitive in the luxury sport sedan segment. Once some real track comparos between the 340i M Sport, C450 AMG Sport, and an Audi S4 come out, these automotive journalists are going to be forced to pull the German flag out of their collective arses. |

The only thing completely screwing this Q50 is the GARBAGE wheel/tire selection and lack of a true LSD (or even a damn viscous). They improved the wheel size in the RS400 (put some 9.5" width in the rear) but they're still using the SH!TTY dunlop run flats. These tires FVCKING SUCK. In a 2015 Q50S, there's a road test with the Rays wheel option (with RE050s on them, 265 rear 245 front) and they pulled an extra 0.12g or something out of the car in lateral acceleration... with just wheels and tires. It wrecked a 335i M Sport around the track (pretty sure this was Autoblog).
The last thing Infiniti needs is for this thing to put up >4.5s to 60 when the platform and new power has the potential to rock a near 3.x s with a good differential and some decent performance tires. This thing on paper out of the box needs to decimate its German competition. |

Everytime I've seen this car it's been with the chrome accenting and I really hated the look. Carlos Lago did a walk-around with "Black chrome" accenting. And like a corvette. With the right accenting (a la GS/Z06). This infinit looks pretty damn good.
I'm hoping for a more dramatic 480hp IPL? Let's see... https://youtu.be/x2BBf7S18i4

THE Q60 WITH SPORT PACKAGE WHEELS.
In KENCHAN Silver, This looks HOT!! I think I can do this. But I'm hoping there's an optional hydraulic steering as promised? https://youtu.be/0vZTEfIyJ8o
