True, I've always had a hate for the new Z, especially considering what the legacy left behind by the Z32 was. A good friend has an 03 Z, he asked me to trade cars with him for a day, I hate the Z even more now. The interior is well , for a 30k-ish car , shiat. Stupid high door belt line, its a quick car stock, but so are the new civic si's. Oh wow its the 350z? Whats it have in it? Oh really, thats cool my moms minivan has the same engine.
I have nothing against the VQ, its a great engine, but how do you go from making this:

To putting a regular VQ in your top USDM sport car. Its a sports car, it needs to have something special in it, especially a z-car with a 30 year legacy.
Nissan watered it down, and appealed it to the mass market, thats why for every young person , theres 10 old dudes and ladies that drive them, its a poser sports car. The real nissan enthuasiasts would agree, the rest are Nissan fanboys that will drive anything with a VQ in it. IMO I'm not holding my breath on the 370z, because it will still be watered down, add .2 liters and another 200+ pounds of wieght and call it a day....
