So if it's too overpriced to compete with v6 Mustangs, Scibarus, and Miatas, they're going to lose a lot of sales.

If I were on Nissan's board I'd say screw the average consumer and let's only offer a TT 6MT hardtop with adjustable coil-overs, launch control and variable boost... but maybe that's why I'm not in business. They'd sell like 5 of them.

Yup... Some of us are going to either stay in the Z family if the Z is what we hope and if not? Some of us may go upmarket to the low $1XX,000 arena? For some of us, if can we fulfill the vision of a great driving machine in the low end? We save money for other things... Cheaper cars give a more raw experience. That's the appeal.
But now premium makers like Benz, Jaguar and Lexus are seeing the appeal of raw hard edge machines in the upmarket arena. I'll buy an underdog car before a premium one if executed right? So many factors go into individual decision making. But if it can't be executed down low... High is the market we'll have to play in

I say it again, I would like to see some sort of Launch Control on the next Z35. That's would be awesome.

lol $55K for a GT-R? Not for normal consumers. $70K maybe...

If you say so... You literally have to be retarded if you can't find a used 09-10 GTR for 55k to 60k (negotiate price down) with reason miles that's not beat to ****. And hello they do offer extended warranties. Tower a member here purchased a used GTR for 60k with 60,000 miles! and it's been flawless and drives that thing everywhere. So if you don't have experience with a used GT-R your 2 cent isn't valid or hold weight. But everyone has an opinion... Right?

recently I saw a 2009 GT-R with 23k miles going for 50k and there was not a thing wrong with it. exterior nor interior. clean in and out with a few rock chips on the hood/bumper but that is to be expected from driving and Nissan's lovely nail polish they use for paint.

Fair enough. I'm not a used car expert

I guess that makes me a retard

I drove one at COTA once. It is such a beast, that I would not risk buying a cheap used one based on what the previous owner(s) might have done. I also don't trust Nissan to actually warranty it. They've denied enough completely valid claims for the 370Z (including mine), that I will never pay for a Nissan warranty. These are just my opinions. I'm not saying that you can't find a cheap used GT-R that wasn't abused, and I'm not saying that Nissan won't warranty it. But the risks are there.

No... clearly was referring to a person, would be retarded if he/she can't find a used GTR for the said amount. But that wasn't just directed towards you. Not saying you need to know everything about used cars but don't just bash on a topic that clearly you could use more research on. But hey I understand where you're coming from and that's why we all have options. I can't but a new GT-R or I would.

Leroydsouza · 04-06-2015, 01:06 PM

Why do u have to bring used into the topic if we are talking bout brand new.
If you could buy a used gtr dont u think u should consider the hypothetical factory 370z tt we are talking about.(you could buy the hypothetical 370z tt used too amirite?)
Read the thread ..we are talking about a tt from company for 60k.

victort · 04-06-2015, 10:28 PM

good thing the GTR is fast, that thing is so fugly

falconfixer · 04-07-2015, 12:22 AM

Anyone mention yet that a $60K Z is an excellent idea as it'll keep the F&F, Forza, Gran Turismo, Uncle Ben rejects from affording the next gen for awhile?

Oh and a $55K R35 is a time bomb at this point in time. I wouldn't touch it.

Only until all the employee leased R35s hit the market. Then it will be the average for a moderately used DBA.
