same thing. yours just started 4k less than what it would have been.

soooo you're in the same boat aside from you may have paid a little less.

Got the gorgeous 2013 bumper on mine

It's the price lowering on the 14's that maybe cost me $4k but this really doesn't bother me as I had no control over this. Also for $33k, a brand new 13 Sport Z picked up in Aug 2012 has been worth every penny.

i just didnt like the removal of the fangs personally. the 13 bumper just looks like a 350 to me and whats the point then. plus the fangs just look badass and follow the hood design.

the 14 price drop hurt us all lol
Masterbeatty and mishuko like this.

I didn't realize the front bumper change until it was too late.. I need a fang transplant.

well, this is good news in that it will save me a lot of money by not wanting to upgrade for the new one, bad news for Z enthusiasts though...

4.0L 8000RPM V8. I've been waiting for someone to make one besides BMW and Audi.

You can't tell me that wouldn't sound awesome and be fun, especially in a light car.

A Japanese V8 in a sports car? Lol sorry guys, not happening. You have a better chance at winning the lottery. Leave the big V8's for the American cars. I honestly see Nissan keeping it NA, smaller V6, but major overhaul on the chassis. 2800-3000lbs with 300ish hp. I just can't see them doing a V6 TT when you already have that in the GTR.
