The first thing I thought of before clicking on the link is that I hope to hear the unique vq burble. I'm disappointed that I didn't quite hear it on this video. However, the car looks good so far and maybe we'll get a better look (or listen) at the exhaust note in the future.

Sounded really good to me in the video. I almost prefer the new sound. But when I hear that "burble", I know it is a Z or G without even looking.

It looks like the headlights may be mounted higher than the Z33's for better visibility. I noticed it on one of the fly-bys in the video.

Hmmm interesting.. I believe Nissan thinks that us Americans love the loud exhaust. Other than the annoying exhaust drone at highway RPM, I really can't complain about the exhaust tone in the Z. Even my bmw friends complement the tone.

I know its supposed to be smaller and lighter than the current Z but everytime you see the older Z and the newer Z in that vid, the newer one looks so much larger and bulkier.

is a rear fog light for europe (it has the same wattage as stop light)...
there it's the law.. any car has it (in a lot of car is included in the regular rear lights... and usually it's only one on one side to don't be confused with stop lights).

I just hope they don't remove it and put a plastic cover for here...
otherwise... DREMEL!!!!!!

Who gives a crap... Like those test drivers were getting any respect from those lookie loos either? They were probably getting hounded etc .

I personally remember seeing some pretty rude (German guys)BMW e92 M3 mule drivers here in Ca and Az when they were street testing. That made this nissan dude seem very polite.

Default new 370 video putting the pedal to the metal

I guess the driver decides to show off a little for the cameras, at about 2:06 seconds in the video, lol. Rolling around with another z, a bmw z4 and a couple of other cars.

I guess it's the new cool thing these days. Make new threads without reading the forums
