The Recaro seats are ?? and the wheels as well. Besides that, it’s ok.

I just read the whole thread, and it's pretty sad actually, that these guys actually think they'll be able to get one, and even if they get the opportunity, the price is going to be laughable.

Not only that, but this is such a try-hard attempt to copy CU Later...

Ended up looking like Honda sonic grey…

Really looking forward to how this Z Nismo thing craps itself when properly being driven hard.

It's just crazy how heavy the Z Nismo is, like it's only about 60kg/130lbs away from weighing as much as the GTR despite not having a pair of useless back seats and the heavy AF awd system in the GTR. In theory, if the Z Nismo has those things, it might be even heavier than the GTR, which is just ridiculous.

Regular Z with the 9AT:
Weight - 3602 lbs
Power - 400 hp
Power to Weight - 0.111 hp/lbs

Z Nismo with the only transmission option available, the 9AT:
Weight - 3704 lbs
Power - 420 hp
Power to Weight - 0.1134 hp/lbs

So yeah, this weight gain is more than enough to eat up most of its power gain.

It actually looks decent. Form a marketing standpoint, with all older parts and tech, they should run with it. Take out all the electronics. Embrace its “age” - show the dipstick, analog tach, nothing digital, in the brochure ?

Just sayin’ might even work… Imagine being able to buy a car w/out infotainment, lane assist, cameras, all kinds of garbage telling the car what to do instead of the driver. If you’re going 20 years back, go all the way back!

That's not a stupid idea but it's a dangerous game!

Oh I see what they're trying to do, they are trying to make up for it in torque

Absolutely...however Nissan messed up on one important detail, real sports cars from 20 years ago don't get paired with autos...lol

They did but damn they were slow…. My wife had an auto Camaro when I met her. I had a manual Firebird. I was much faster. Taught her how to drive stick. The rest is history ;)

Better than no game. Have you seen their sales? ?
It’s one of the reasons why I love my little 2016 MX5 so much. KISS principle. Keep It Simple Stupid
