I’m not Dan. But I know there is a second cup holder hidden. Also you can raise seat. I d love to see an automatic with the Red interior if poss Dan ?
I hadn't watched the videos yet, and I should have known Raiti would have found one if there was one. Figured he would find if the passenger seat would raise too if he was able to get inside. Should have watched it first before coming here asking stupid questions.

… I still drive my 2006 350z roadster with the top down once a month when the weather is cool … this is an old photo … my Z is still all stock except now I have a set of staggered 20” Rohana

wheels with a wider footprint …. and installed a set of daylight LED driving lights … it looks so cool … I still would like to wait for the NISMO … and what’s does the Proto look like? Just curious …

Dan,

Can you tell us if the engine/exhaust sounds in "The Escape" video on the launch page are genuine or synthesized? They are so amazing it's hard to believe they are realistic, but I'd love to be wrong. They'd sell the car on their own.

Katana blades - sorry to let you down but you need to see it in person to get the full effect. I'm sure there will be plenty of options if you wanted to change the color, but from the factory, bright it will be.

Carbon driveshaft - correct. Our engineering team has been doing extensive and ongoing testing in Japan and the U.S., and the decision was made as reported. I know a lot of these folks personally and they're not "gentle" with the acceleration, so I trust their judgment.
thanks for the response @Dan_Passe. maybe seeing the blades in person at some point will change my mind. worst case a little vinyl wrap solves the problem lol

i'm excited to get my hands on one. already contacted my guy at Fast Intentions to start prepping my exhaust for my new Z.

i am slightly curious on this as well more so for the amount of blow off valve sounds i was hearing. didnt think the VR30 made those sounds but i've never driven one that hard personally.

Hi there - I'll work to get a shot of the second cupholder when I see the car @ ZCON. No AT photos yet - both of our show vehicles are MT. I think there's a red interior photo coming soon (we only have Proto Spec and blue right now).

Thanks

Would thinks it’s around the same as the 370 as it’s the same chassis and they haven’t changed to any lighter materials for the major component.

Probably, but I still want a specific number. Engine is gonna add weight for sure (something like 430 pounds for the VR30DDTT, can't remember the VQ37VHR weight and oddly can't find it, either). Just want to know if they were able to shave weight anywhere or if we're getting a pig of a Z.

Heard somewhere it will be slightly heavier than the 370Z, all that extra stuff up front - turbos, plumbing intercoolers, VR30 engine - just north of 3500 lbs. I wish it is lower though.

I’ll put race seats and harness to lighten it, I’m sure other areas can lower that weight.
