Put a lot of time and effort into that car and really made it my own.
What I think is sad is that this new Z is just a motor swap and body kit from a 370Z, which was a evolution of a 350Z. Basically, the bones of the new Z go back to 2003. I can't imagine wanting to pay like $40K+ for such an old platform. Look at the interior for crying out loud, its just a retouched 370Z.
I get that Nissan doesn't have the money to truly make a new sports car, but I can't see this competing with dedicated sports cars unless they price it really low.

I remember seeing your car on my350z! Time attack CE28 / TE37 days!! I owned a set of LE37T on my Z.
I owned/loved my 2007 350z from 07-12, great car, never gave me a single issue in the 60k miles I owned it. No where in the class of our current cars, but nonetheless, I paid 29k out the door new at the time (less than half of my M4).
My biggest pet peeve on that car was the POS clutch slave cylinder. A mild 2k-3k rpm launch would cause that pedal to become soft - it was definitely a problem for that car. I never had the clutch pedal drop to the floor and stay or what not but I also rarely launched the car because of how soft the pedal got.
