Nice it looks better than I thought it would, especially in the sun. I thought it might turn out to be just like the black cherry the 370Z had, which I wasn't a fan of, but it looks like they revamped it well.
The amber part is not the turn signal. That's just a "safety" light because of US regulations. The turn signal switches on and off the top part of the DRL.
I've daily driven my 370Z for the last 3 years I've had it now and I live in PA, US. We get a fair bit of snow from November-March. I got a set of Pirelli Sottozero 3s that I put on in the winter. I've never had to really drive it in deep snow and I wouldn't if it snows more then 2 inches even...
They should have 2-3 REAL trims. Not 1 real trim and then 2 generic "Sport" and "Proto" trims.
A REAL sport trim
- Everything it currently has
- Akebono Brakes the Performance has
- LSD the performance trim has
- Priced at ~$45k
Performance trim
- Everything it currently has
- Brembo 6-pistons...
Did you watch the video? They try to do a burnout and the car stops it. He literally says word for word, "..whose computer won't let you do a burnout."
To be honest this isn't surprising, but better tires would likely help it keep up. Although, as he says, launch control is hit or miss on it. Can't do a burn out either.
What they should have done is this:
Have the "Sport" trim actually be Sport and come standard with:
- Everything it currently has
- LSD
- Akebono brakes
Then have the Performance trim come standard with:
- Everything it currently has
- Brembo brakes
- Recaro seats
- 435HP
That would be a...
When comparing the Z vs Supra, the Z falls short in just about every category now:
- Supra has a nicer interior (BMW or not, you're delusional if you think the Z interior is better)
- Supra has better performance (manufacturer HP figures are closer to WHP, it also weighs less than the Z, faster...
Can't say I'm surprised, but I'll 100% pass on buying the "new Z" for $50k. Maybe I'll wait a year and get a used one for $45k if the reviews say it's actually worth the money. Otherwise I'm going with something else.
