The 370Z was an ancient car already so this one will be quicker but there's only so much you can do with revalved shocks and springs on an ancient chassis as this car should drive basically the same as a tweaked 370Z. I don't know how they could justify charging $40k for a reskinned 370Z even with a new engine. It's the same damn car lol. How embarrassing for Nissan.
The underpinnings of the latest iteration of the FM platform is not bad TBH. It has a front double wishbone (or SLA) suspension and has higher potential grip limits (especially when you fit good rubber on the car) than the McPherson strut equipped 1/2/3/4 ers and the Supra.
