The grill is a little meh, but that's probably gonna be an easy aftermarket fix. I like the tails. I want to see it in person, could be one of those cars that's 100% better up close, like the A90/A91 Supra.

 

The things I dislike the most can't be changed so even if it grew on me I would never buy one.

 

That's my thinking as well. Can't wait to see one of these in person. Especially in a color other than yellow.

Launch control sounds fun.

 

2023 Nissan Z out in public in Times Square

Nissan Z in black

https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/threads/nissan-z-in-black.442/

 

I really wanna know what the curb weight of this car is. I'm guessing 3500-3550lbs. Hope I'm wrong.

 

I like the black, but that's a biased opinion because the majority of my cars have been black.

Black with a red interior would be hawt.

I hate that black is always such a good looking color on cars. Pain in the *** to take care of.

 

That is the absolute truth. It just looks so good when it's clean and waxed.

Which is maybe like 5% of the time for the hour after you wash it before it rains. Then you see every imperfection in the paint.

Looks like a typical sh*t FB post. Ehh.

People baggin' on the FM for what reason? It works and if Nissan is to stay in business - certainly we all know they've been in financial trouble right? - utilizing a time honored design that is not necessarily contemporary but far from outdated is prudent. And, dare I say, not only viable but keeps the price down by not reinventing/re-engineering the main structure that already works.

We've been assured that while it utilizes a 20 year old design, the necessary changes to the suspension geometry and overall function have been made. Take for example, the PM platform, which is derived from an FM platform. Guess what rides on a PM chassis? Starts with GT and ends with -R (or R35 if you prefer). It's entirely possible that the new Z is riding on an FM platform with some PM trickle down.

So, to whoever created what they thought was funny. Joke's on you. Nissan is smart. Unlike....

 

While I see that point and know that sports cars are a dying breed I refuse to give Nissan slack and they shouldn't be able to call it all new since it's still a Z34. While it is better than what Toyota did, it's STILL the same chassis that debuted in 2009 with a BORROWED powertrain. I don't hate them, I just won't buy it, simple as that, it'll live aside the 370Z in my brain in the it's not good enough to give up the 350Z for section.

 

Interview w/ Nissan Executive Dan Passe on the 2023 Z

People ***** and complain about how old the 370Z was and how we needed a new one, Nissan delivers, and people keep bitching because it's still the FM platform. Regardless of how much better the car is, people always find a reason.

Either we get what we get or we don't get it. I'd rather have it.

 

I don't care if we got a new car or not, I knew it was going to be a half baked effort either way and I don't blame them, they are a business and they have to do what makes sense to their sales.
The only thing I want from them is to not claim all new when it's designated as Z34 still. Either way they won't get any of my money as "twin turbo v6 with a manual" doesn't make me wet my pants.

 

I found this article for all the haters calling the new Z a redesigned 370Z. I thought it was worth the read.

I would say you will be very disappointed at the lack of torque. Going from a V8 to anything that does not have a ton of torque will be a disappointment.

I went from a 5.7 Tundra to a Toyota 86, the torque deficit caused me to have it for the least amount of time I have ever owned a car (10 months) Back in a big V8, and could not be happier.
