Great thread! Love the Zs! I bought my GT350 in Oklahoma and drove it back to CA with my dad. It was an amazing journey and I see that yours was similarly fantastic. Thanks for sharing it. -T

It's nice that Nissan did something, but I don't know why they would make it automatic only. They have the great rev-match feature on the manual, so why not offer that on the Nismo? Their automatic is a disappointment compared to the ZF 8-speed, their engine isn't as strong as the Supra's, the...

I’m disappointed that the suspension tuning isn’t better out of the box, but not surprised. IMO the car has the important things done mostly right. Great looks, great interior layout, exciting engine, great platform for modifications. The aftermarket should have suspension and brake setups...

OFC = Obama Fried Chicken? -T

When the 350Z came out it had less power than the 300ZX TT. IF Nissan had a good 300 HP 4-cylinder that would give significantly better fuel economy and save 150 lbs in overall weight, then it might be interesting to have a 300 HP version. Let’s say they stick with the same model strategy as...

I like Throttle House because they are entertaining but also give a good, balanced perspective. I like Savage Geese because they are so low key and grumpy. If they get even slightly excited, you know there is something special about the car. I like the stuff Carlos Lago and Jason Cammisa are...

yeah, in my 350z I could get about 400 miles per tank on my mountain road commute (using about 16 gallons or 25 MPG). In my GT350 I’m lucky to get 270 (using about 15 gallons or 18 MPG). -T

I live in CA and bought my GT350 from a Ford dealer in Tulsa, OK. I did pay a $2500 ADM, but had decided that, for me, a $5000 ADM was still a good value. Dealers in CA were asking $25,000 ADM, even for years after the release of the car, and I wasn’t ready to wait ages for prices to come...

The silver bar reminds me of the “brace face” grille of the C7 corvette. Not a fan. The orange body colored picture looks pretty good straight-on from the front, but not sure how it would look from other angles. I’m fine with the OEM look (reminds me of the 350z and the 240z without the front...

350z went from 2003 to 2009. So if the new Z arrives as a 2023 model, there’s probably quite a while before a new version appears. I had a 2003 350Z that I ordered as soon as I could and took delivery of in September 2002. Finally sold it in ~2018 with 200,000 miles. It was a fantastic car...

For a second I thought that was a GTI. -T

Automakers love understeer, and in some cases it does add a measure of safety. But in many other cases it can make things worse due to the sudden snap oversteer that can occur when the front finally does regain grip and someone has applied lots of steering input in an attempt to fight under...

I mentioned this in a similar discussion somewhere, and it has been mentioned above as well, and that is Nissan can do a ton with suspension tuning if they so choose. Earlier someone mentioned the difference between an M2 and a normal 2 series. For me it’s the difference between a normal...

Foose’s design looks much closer to the original to me, which can be good or bad. I like the headlights on his better since they capture the roundness of the originals better and seem to follow the body contours better. Overall it doesn’t look nearly as modern or fresh, so if you want the...

IMO it makes sense if you want a manual, a smaller car, and care more about the experience than the numbers. But the C8 Z06 will be amazing. -T

The car will be objectively worse than the Supra, but subjectively better. Mostly because it is true to its heritage and it looks pretty good. Plus stick shift. People forgive a lot when they feel like the product is honest. When someone sells you a BMW and tells you it’s a Supra, people get...

Corvette Z06. But no manual. Car looks epic though. My GT350 is already almost too fast for the street, so I can't imagine how that Corvette will feel. I think the Z will be more usable on the street, and less than half the price. Also smaller and a bit lighter. Just need to get a garage...

To answer some questions above: I think the photo I posted represents the blue pretty well. It is intense in the sunlight, bright and vibrant. IMO it looks great and I wouldn't have a problem with it. But then, my current car is yellow with black stripes so I might not be the best judge on...

Went there with my son. Tried to get a few pics of areas I haven't seen in detail yet, although for people familiar with the 370Z or Q50 this might not be very interesting. Talked with Ken, the dude from Nissan. He was very friendly but of course wasn't able to share any new information...

Was planning on heading over. I was there for the 370z, and am looking forward to seeing this version. -T
