Right decision. Died after the 3 left. The revival had way too many presenters. Obviously in early days sabine schmidt was a great guest host...... someone somewhere will make a replacement I'm sure.

Saw the MG in the flesh last week. Good looking car indeed and lower than the 370z also heard the MG GBT v8 cold start. Now that's a proper car. My brother picked up a white Taycan with the white rims new a few days ago. Not sure what spec yet. His kids let the cat out the bag in advance. Unlike when I got the 350Z lol congrats!

Please tell me you weren't doing deadlifts up there too... wth? 😀
Nothing like altitude deadlifts with less oxygen to test your manhood. I rather sprint up TFL Escalators on my commute.

Congrats. I fulfilled mine with a 350Z too in 2015. Then the 370Z Nismo stamped it summer 2017.... "Wow" after dropping a gear on the way out of Birmingham....Enjoy (No regrets!).

With Lotus going all electric and Nissan confirming it will be by 2030 it would be interesting to see what type of engine it will have. Will 400z stand for a normally aspirated 4L V6 or a smaller turbo'd 400bhp engine or even a 400kw electric motor?
400Z was just a nickname by US enthusiasts.....I think Z will be end of life by 2030. I doubt theyll bother with a face lift. But the front bumper can be changed in the Japanese market....Also faces steep depreciation as Americans have clocked on they can get better for the money like a Corvette or M2 Many Z enthusiasts are keeping their current Z or buying competition. Some have already sold this new Z.
Nissan will replace it with a faster electric roadster most likely under a different name possibly made here in UK by 2030. Theres no point using the Z name under EV.....a hybrid maybe...Depends on sales of upcoming 982 Boxster and MGC. If they're successful then theyll bring it forward. Apparently the weight is still an issue for Nissan. Theres a new market for EV roadsters just not at what they want to sell them for unfortunately.

Mount Haruna with the new Z. That would be good

GTR Nismo and Note Nismo are still produced for Japan market and GTR nismo for US/Japan. Ive seen the GTR Nismo 3 times in the flesh in White and Satin Black. Might not be worth what theyre asking. It is what it is.

No one moaned when M division, AMG/Brabus and RS put badges on A1, Smart cars, A3 and C classes as well X3. Calling their models S lines, M Sport, AMG line with a million trims.
Seems to be an issue when Japanese automakers do the same. Toyota not so much....Why is that?
Such bad cars theres hardly any Nismo GTR for sale...Only a few 370 Nismos on autotrader with not many SORN....The harshest critics have never driven any of the aforementioned Nismo cars. Yet seem to hate the most....

Funny enough the new M2 is using a standard Torque Converter auto and is heavier than the Z but still very quick with power advantage. The 9 speed is not the best but its been tuned. It might be a better Nismo upgrade than the 370Z Nismo upgrade. Time will tell.
It would be good to get both the Performance and Nismo versions and compare them on the track. Also the Nismo version can be tuned further by Z1 to get more power out of it as well improve the Auto. Confident that a stage 1 remap of say 475 -500hp, 400+ ft lbs and stickier tyres would be a problem for the M2 around the track being lighter by around 60kg.
Despite the 370Z being a bulky dog it had no issue keeping up with its rivals driver dependant.

€85,000 Euros. Lol. Some have said M4 CS or Mustang for the money. Its nice itll be in Europe. Only a few millionaire kids will be able to afford it though.

Looks like German Autohaus Dealer got hold of a Boulder Grey Z and was unveiled to their customers. Commenters are saying way to expensive even if they wanted to order one. First one in EU as far as social media is concerned.

Ouch, that’s a killer of a review. I know I’m not a fan of the looks so take whatever I say about it with a pinch of salt, but there is nothing desirable about that car at all. Hell, the M2 is significantly uglier in every aspect but at least BMW nailed the driving part of it.
And it’s cheaper.
Are you sure you didn't write that review? Lol

How about the frequency of oil changes for a manual box 370Z. Is that maintenance free as well?
Hmmm, id change that plus its less oil. Ive usually done it on my other cars every 30,000-40,000 miles. I still think Honda and VW both do the best feel manual boxes. So smooth...

That's just as bad as my V8 😂
The specs say mine is 18mpg combined, but I am averaging 19.5 ... although I don't drive it likeI stole it everywhere, I don't hang about 😂
American gallon is less than UK gallon i think. UK gallon is 4.5 L and US is 3.78 L
Over here would probably be 22mpg?!

And turn up they will. Ill join you guys next year for sure

His last job was working as a pilot for Qatar airways. They paid for his accomodation in Qatar and money to cover home costs in the UK. Therefore he just had to pay very little for his home in the UK. He was overall making a decent profit excluding his actual wage. He's just been living off his savings, has been able to buy a brand new car and brand new motorbike.
Oh and he has a flat around the corner that he rents out.
Anyways I'm over trying to keep the peace and I have decided it's not my fault he likes to stay up late and wake up late playing computer games. Just shift your day a few hours earlier and you won't get annoyed.
Ohhh so he can have his fun but you cant. Its sounds personal lol....Motorbike....cant imagine its an electric one and quiet. The Ferrari might have triggered him. Some people are happy when they think theyre doing better than others. Then as you said their tone changes when they see you changed car or youre related to a guy that has a Supercar. Not saying its not noise related but it could partly be other things as well
Do you drive off immediately i did with the Z didn't stop someone calling parking enforcement though
