Just give me a Borla exhaust and a cold-air intake, and I'll be fine.

Cash is king

Very true. I just saw that BMW group sales was down 63%!

Right now this is def buyers market. I think someone showed me a link the other day where they were selling a brand new base 350Z for only 24K. BUT, things are suppose to be changing soon. We may see a gradual change to a better economy.

I hope it'll be buyer market when I get my Z.

They are not making the body parts or exhaust parts yet but for the engine, I can say "yes". This 3.7L VQ has been used in the G37 and I believe FORGED Motorsports already made a Twin Turbo for this engine. It's true the engine in the Z will be a little tweaked up than the G37 but they at least have something to work with. Here are the pics

$33k tops before T+L.

I'm liking the idea of a twin screw charger.

dutty370Z · 11-10-2008, 02:53 PM

I wouldn't pay over $35k (configured) for it. If its anywhere near $35k I might as well add a couple thousand and get a g37.

G37 a little on the heavier side. Nissan Corp always made the Z lighter and more agile that the G37. If you need back seat, G37 is def THE car to get but other than that, Z will always out run the G.

I think you can def get a Z below 35K. It IS a buyer market right now.

Befor you buy your G37, explore other options:
Car and Driver tests $30K-$60K cars in VIR Lightning Lap.

I want to get the 6MT Sports Trim + Touring Trim.
But is that the best trim?
And hopefully I'll be paying under 38,000

I wonder about that myself. It seems that Nissan went to great lengths to reduce weight (good) and increase power (also good) and return the focus of the Z to its 240z predecessor. That is exactly what I want. I'm lucky enough to be at a point in my life where my next car will be a 'third' car, a car that I will only drive when I want to, not when I have to. I can't wait. The thing about the Touring Trim will be whether or not the accessories in the package add a significant amount of weight and chip away at what Nissan has supposedly set out for us. I think the Sport Trim makes good sense for the brakes and wheels and I would probably be interested in that. So it's 6MT for me, with Sports Trim and try to get out the door around 35K max. At that price, you have a M Coupe fighter for around 18-20K less. 'Nuff said.

MSRP for about 3 months then let the bidding begin.

Invoice plus 1000.00

Will the touring trim add that much of a weight difference...?
I didn't think that it would make a weight difference by much.

Crown,
I don't think the weight difference will be that much either, after reading the spec sheet, but every little bit adds up, know what I mean? I'm in this specifically for power/weight and smiles/mile, so I don't need satnav or anything else that's not core to the 370z. 50lbs (approx what the weight difference between the Base and Touring is) isn't much, but it's 50lbs I don't need.

On another note, I wouldn't be too terribly surprised if the Z is marked up at least at the beginning. I saw the STI and Lan-Evo marked up in my hometown, the dealers called it something like a "Geographical Market Adjustment"... that's as BS as it comes. The mark-ups won't last long, but they'll be there at the beginning. Just wait it out.

I think I may be willing to raise my threshold to $35k based off of the content and features in this car.
