Their going after the Toyota Supra and prices will likely start in the low to mid 40k range. According to C&D they will come with the 3.0 TT out of the infinity q60 which has only 300hp. I’m sure the top of the line or Nismo model will have the 400hp version out of the Q60 Redsport. So in essence their not naming it after the liters or the HP..... Bet it will be 50k for the 400hp version... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I loved my 2009 370Z, and I drove it for 10 years. I traded it in for my 2020 2SS 1LE. Even though I think the 370Z has a better yet different look than the 1LE. The 370Z is no where close to the handling and performance of the 1LE. The Z was really over steer happy and wouldn’t be close to the Camaro on a road course or the 1/4 mile. The new Z doesn’t look as good as the old 370Z in my opinion. But you know what they say about opinions.

I had the base model with the sports package and the 7 speed auto.

I will reserve final judgement until specs on the production version is out but it all hinges on whether it's going to be a ~3,400lb twin turbo 370 or a 3,800lb reskinned Q60.
Either way that 3.0TT motor is pretty stout even in the "300" HP guise it definitely puts down more power than the 3.7 and the 300 and 400HP motors both use the same turbos. The major differences being no turbine speed sensor on the 300 and it's missing some upgrades to the Air to water intercooler. IIRC they put down close to 500whp with basically a downpipe and tune so definitely nothing to sneeze at. |

The 3.0TT is a decent motor, yes. Does it "put down more power than the 3.7"? Horsepower, no...torque, yes. Either way, we all know there is much more to being fast (or quick) than having good torque/hp numbers. The 370z is significantly faster than say the Q60 with the 3.0. Heck, even the G37's (with the 3.7; replaced by the Q60) are faster than the 3.0. The 3.0 Red Sport's are more powerful, but I didn't care for the turbo lag. It often feels like you really have to get on the pedal for the car to go, you can't so much just ease into it. For reference, I've test driven the standard 3.0TT & I've owned the following motors (relating to this topic): 1 - VQ35HR (350z) 3 - VQ37HR (370z, Q60S, Q50S) 1- VR30DDTT (Q50S Red Sport 400) |

Hmm, that's odd. I've had the exact opposite experience. I had a 3.7 Q50 and all of the 3.0TT motors I've gotten on loaners were way faster. The 3.7 has more "rated" HP but if memory serves it dynos at 260-270 to the wheels vs 300 for the base 3.0 on 91 octane.

I did like the power of my Red Sport, but at the end of the day it just wasn't a car that I loved. Again, I don't enjoy these cars that you have to stomp on it to have any sort of power feel. The LT1 motor for example, if you have a thought about giving it fuel, it is ready to go. I had the dynamic sunstone red (I believe it is called). For starters, I'm typically not a big fan of red, but that color is unique to the RS trim, so I thought why not. That and I think there just weren't enough improvements (or new things) that my 3.7 Q50 didn't have; I had a brand new car again, but in many ways it felt the same. |

I have never been a fan of the 350/370z but this one does look pretty good.

I'm still not certain how I feel about it. I definitely do not like that color. It is interesting to see the number of parts that have been carried over from the previous 370z, whether directly or slightly modified. It looks like they've borrowed the exhaust (or at the least the tips) from the Infiniti line as well. I love the Nissan has chosen to keep the manual parking brake, rather than "improve" by putting the electronic garbage that we have in the Camaro.
