Definitely considering it, waiting for reviews. Advantages over the CTR for me are RWD, more compact form, much better sounding engine. Disadvantages: MT likely not as good, poor visibility, heavier, less practical as a sole car. Both have rev matching which for me is a must-have.

3500 lbs? Kinda porky. Not sure I trust the numbers though... it says 1565mm for height which is over 5 feet tall!!! (61") :hmm:

Yeahā€¦ thatā€™s about what my ancient iron block, HICAS-having 300zx is with a few aluminum bits to keep the weight down. I know the 370s were on the high end of 3400 with the VQā€¦ but itā€™d be nice if they could come in under 3500. The 300 doesnā€™t feel bad on modern rubber and will certainly moveā€¦ but I wouldnā€™t quite call it nimble. HICAS letā€™s itā€™s rear end move quicker than would feel natural otherwiseā€¦ but it always feels like brute force more than finess.

While the Z finally gets a turbo 6 again, and a VR one at thatā€¦ all the best stuff (AWDā€¦ HICAS) is still saved for the GTR. ~35 years is a long time from the old Z32 concept that was cobbled together in ā€˜87 for a late ā€˜89 car. Iā€™d hope even if the new Z is not the halo car the Z32s wereā€¦ itā€™ll walk all over a moderately modded 300zx. Iā€™m sure itā€™ll have ridiculously quick spooling turbos and massive low end torque the old cars lackedā€¦ but itā€™s the top end/ride/handling and thatā€¦. ā€œIā€™m in a Z!ā€ feel Iā€™m really curious about.

I still paid to have a new 98+ spec transmission put in my old car (fingers crossed itā€™s done tomorrow). Iā€™m contemplating liquidating the old car to get one of these after they releaseā€¦ but I figure Iā€™ll keep enjoying it and the original transmission has never been great since I had it. Iā€™d like to do a back to back test drive and see how I feel about the new car. Maybe having a Z with cup holders wouldnā€™t be so badā€¦ ?

I prefer my FR cars to be lightweight and NA, so Z came off of the list pretty quickly.

This car has an awful lot of special editions for not even existing 5 months after release.

Nissan Skyline
Nissan Z car is a combination of the Spider and 350Z. Nissan has not revealed whether there will be a hybrid version of the Z. The concept car has a 3.6 liter V6 engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission. The concept car looks muscular, unlike the 350Z which looks more rounded. Nissan says that there will be a limited production of the Z, but no one has decided on the number of copies to be reproduced yet. Learn more about Nissan Z from fine motors.
