My girl is like that, she turns the screen off when she drives it at night. Doesnt bother me though. Different folks...all that.

No thanks, Supra or Z4 for me, used C7 Z06,

$90 for USB charging cable set? Are they flipping kidding me? Kick plates went up about $100 right? A 33% bump is kinda steep. And all those extra costs for paint. Who do they think they are, Porsche or BMW?

Dual racing stripe?!! Did I miss something?

Passion Red is now $1695? That's a huge price increase almost 2.5x. I paid $750 Canadian for mine.

Perhaps they are trying to lure Mustang owners away from Ford?

Yet another thing I'm not a fan of. Racing strips that is. Never seen a street car that didn't look better without them. JMO.

But hey, at least they are an option. Can you imagine if Nissan said if you want the white car it must come with red racing strips, AND charge more for like, like they are doing with the black roof.

Used C7 Z06 for $50k lol. Used versions of the C7 Z06 are still $70k to $80K.

Best bet for a C7 is a used C7 Grand Sport within the $45k to $55K range with less than 40k miles typically.

New Manual Supra tho.....:excited:

$90 for an optional charging cable!!!! Yea, I’m out.... thanks for putting things in perspective. :eek:

No doubt, if he hadn't pointed that out, I might've bought this car. :rofl2:

But $90 would kill my bank account, and paying extra for interior options that increased with material cost and inflation simply won't do. They better comp their 2009 price model or they'll never move one.

I shouldn't have to add the disclaimer that this is all said in sarcasm, but just in case my humor's a bit too dry for some. ;)

I spoke with a local Nissan dealership earlier today and even tho they don’t know when it’ll be released, the salesman said all Nissan Dealerships will have ONE on their lot but it’s basically a display only, no test drives. He is guessing around Fall for that one to be around. So, what’s the point in that? I seen it in person at the car show in February…totally stupid if you ask me, but I understand not everyone went to the car shows.

It’s a traffic generator helping to draw customers in and who will most likely buy an SUV that actually makes money for dealer and Nissan

If that's what your dealer wants to do, okay, its their call. Its not a Nissan thing, its a dealer thing. Just as there will be some dealers selling their cars over sticker, there will be others selling at or even below sticker. Each dealer will do it how ever they want. Much of it depends on allowcation. Some dealers will get 5 cars, while others will get none. Some will allow test drives, and some won't. All dealers decision, not Nissan.

We went through this entire process in 2005 when it came time to order my wife's Pontiac Solstice. Talk about a hot commodity. Much like when the C8 first came out. This new Z car will not have nearly the hype surrounding those 2 cars. My suggestion would be to wait until production year 2 and buy one then for 3 grand under sticker.

**** dealerships. time for them to go the way of the dinosaurs.

Needs a black roof. Just saying...:stirthepot:

And needs way better looking non-1980s Camaro looking wheels. Stirthepot.

But it does look better without that stupid afterthought straight edge spoiler. Cleaner without it.

And I like the color. Too bad Nissan paint quality typically sucks.

Looks way better without the black roof. Stirthepot.

LOL!! You do realize that “straight edge spoiler” is actually functional, doncha? Just kidding, of course you don’t. No offense, but this is getting old. We get it. You hate it. Time to move on.

Not worth discussing.

That rosewood color is on point :yum:

That is pretty nice. I would have been tempted to go for my first ever red car with the Passion Red Tricoat. It looks close to Soul Red.

I love it, but!! I would want to keep my FI exhaust and 2014 Sport wheels/tires...

As far as paint goes - a clearbra on the entire hood / front bumper was well worth it

Seriously. Is there any news? I'm 98% ready to just pay $32,000 for a '17 370z. ($35k out the door). Feels stupid if a nice 400z comes out with full warranty and maybe some improvements for like $45k, but am so bored of waiting. I like the BRZ also but not doing it because they're not available unless a long wait and I'm just not into that. Looking like same with 400z.

You are asking the wrong guy as I am being ridiculed here for my opinions. As go forums like this. Oh well.

But I'll lay it out with the plus sides only.

All JMO of course.

New Z
- Faster
- 9 Speed auto
- More electronic gadgets
- 2 center arm rest cup holders
- Exact same upper body shape as 370 Z (front window, A pillars, side windows, B pillers, with same slope to rear hatch)
- New car warranty

370 Z
- Better looking body (subjective)
- Shorter
- Better looking wheels (less subjective)
- Better sex appeal for picking up chics (easily)
- Better looking steering wheel (by far)
- No "forced down our throat and more costly 2 tone paint schemes"
- More reliable engine (fact)
- Old school hydraulic steering assist (more sports car feel)
- Hard to believe but stock exhaust actaully sounds better (subjective)
- Less electronic gadgets
- Better 5 tiered pricing structure with Nismo option
- Will be a classic desired car in the future, only second to the original 240 Z

That's what I can think of at the moment.

How would you feel paying $55k for a new Z only to get beat by the old NA one with some boltons on it :stirthepot:

According to this site: https://calculator.academy/whp-to-hp...tor/#f1p1|f2p0
400hp is only 340whp.

Most of us with basic boltons and tune are 10 or less whp away from that already and we weigh less. :tup:


Edit: Unless the new Z comes out with underrated hp of course.:eekdance:

I don't believe that will be the case - with that torque that the new Z offers - it will get to 60 much faster than a FBO NA 370z. For instance (believe he has his story on here as well) Noir winded up doing a Q60 Motor swap - and even having a boost leak - he was beating FBO Z's by busses. I get what you are saying - the amount to buy the new Z vs keeping one that is already pretty quick (quick/speed is all relative) - but I don't believe a FBO Z would keep up with a stock Z with the torque and the HP advantage. Just my .02

I could really get on board with the new Z styling if this were production models, sans park bench wing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5M2cDnOFFc

Changed my mind and got a sweet deal on a yellow Z Proto today.

Still hate the black roof. Stir Pot.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0b40c466b0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2ea0b2e396.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...10ddf48e72.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2d77ec1e52.jpg

That's so "Factory Fresh!". I knew you'd come around... even with that black roof. LOL!

Yea, but those 80’s Camero IROC rims! :stirthepot:

IROC rims, so hot right now!

https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/at...a1-jpeg.10096/

huh, they're offering the 57CR Clubsports that were (formerly) exclusive to Z1

everything in that catalog can be purchased cheaper outside the dealership

Those wheels might be great for performace and or racing because they are light, but they are ugly as hell. Black makes it worse. I wouldn't give 2 cents for those things, let alone put them on my car.

Different strokes for different folks.

And why is a guy on the other forum surprised about a cargo cover? We have been told the interior in back is 100% the same as the 370Z, so why WOULDN'T a cargo cover be available. They can just keep making the same one as before.

That looks terrible IMO. Maybe I’m just biased, I can’t wait to see what FI does.
