so hot:
Such an amazing failboat. It’s one of the worst car designs I’ve seen in years.
i would drive it
The wheels, tails, headlights and interior are just awful… but it it actually does weigh 3000 lb and has 320 bhp, I am all over it.
is anything shared from the gtr?
not a fan of the sharp rake in the hatch area
Ive always wanted to test drive a z car, when these hit the dealerships it may actually motivate me to go and check one out. I think all of the z’s look real good in the silver but actually the blue is growing on me alot and i love those wheels.
how is the interior awful?
Steering wheel looks awful, and thin, weird silver “pods” on gauge cluster, random seam down middle of dash (which is selectively there), radio looks like from an 80’s pontiac, passenger side dash has a “tumor”, center counsel’s gaps look like they are from a mid 90’s chevy, back to the steering wheel, seriously what where they thinking with that. Want me to go on?
Which is hilarious, because I think it’s a drastic improvement (interior wise) from the 350z and everything else about the car is a huge fail (except the engine).
They improved in some area’s but all the little things are pissing me off.
-interior: looks like they went mini cooper style
-WTF is with the door handles???
-the headlights are the worst part.
im on this guy’s sack
I won’t even waste my time posting an interior comparison with a 350z.
The wheels definitely look terrible.
The rest of the car is a win for me. I love it.
i’m gonna need to see it in person first before i judge…some pics i like it some i dont
Just because it is better than a Z33 doesn’t mean it is a good interior design…
love the side profile. love the less weight and more power. love the throwbacks to the old 240/260/280.
dont care about the interior nor the headlights/taillights.
this looks worlds better than the 350z. i thought it was hideous when it came out. especially the side profile.

so after seeing nothing but pictures and engine spec’s the first few weeks, there are some reviews coming out now on like edmunds.com and other sites. They have been saying alot of stuff about this system that automaticly does the heel toe on the downshift for you, Basically when the engine senses the clutch going in it blips the throttle for you to go down a gear easier and stay in the power range better. I was wondering what everyone thinks about this is this just a gimic or will it be usful? I was also very impressed with the 0-60 times of 5.1 and with a roll out of a foot they said it “should” be able to do a 4.9. And there are also tests claiming 13.4’s in the quarter mile I know its just bench racing until they are acutally out but im guessing with some :tspry: the right tires and a good driver mod a 12.8 or 12.9 might be doable in nearly stock form with some small bolt ons. this could be a really be a decent car for the money i think.
mehh, i like my 350. those headlights are shit, i got a few bolt ons for my car and it gets out of it’s own way just fine.
