My 2009 370Z, which isnât very much different than todayâs version regarding power-train, suspension and engine (donât know about brakes, but these were so-so), had a magnificent engine. A linear pull from 1800ish rpm to near red-line, it never had a âwhooshâ of power like a VTec or turbo and it had steam-train torque. Mated to a good performing, if not short or quick, 6 speed manual, speed never came with extreme rapidity, but non-the less smoothly & quite quickly. I hope they keep the naturally aspirated V6!
The biggest disappointment was the handling. Yeah, it was flat in the corners and could carry high Gâs, but the seat-of-the-pants variety of feeling was lacking. Feeling âoneâ with the car just didnât happen. Due to high levels of computer intervention, spirited driving was thwarted and you never make the connection between your butt and the road. If thereâs one improvement that would make me look at purchasing one in the future, it would be more human connection with what the carâs doing.
It will be a natural asperated V8 rear wheel drive manual and automatic available! It will have performance on a par with gt Mustang, but better handling and lighter! Fun ahead of performances but still plenty of both!

I hope it doesnât look like this đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
ARGH!! My eyes... đŤ
I just pray it isn't a crossover.
You and me both đ
I think they should have made a 370ZX model with turbskies but a new model should be good too. Personally Iâd like to keep it naturally aspirated
