but the VR30 is the obvious choice, so if they do update the Z they'll probably go that direction.

But than there less chance of making more power from tunes.

Will never happen in the UK. Next Focus RS is rumoured to be Hybrid or it doesn't happen.

I have yet to see a new Supra on the road but then again never see 370Z's either.

I've seen 3 of the new Supras since launch including one this week on my commute. That one could've just been a test drive for all I know. They are very, very rare.

I saw my first one last week, looked good too.

one of the local guys has a widebody one in advan livery.
it looks pretty effin cool. It was cool enough that my non car friends were like "holy sh*t! what is that thing!?"
They never care about cars so that says something.

I’ve yet to see one in the wild in my city- just saw them across the fence when they were coming into the country at the Autoport. Granted it is winter, so people might be waiting until spring to drive them.

I live in the second biggest city in Australia and I haven't seen the new Supra on the road yet. My work colleague has seen 1 last week.

Sorry we are a bit of topic but anyway, have not seen one here in Newcastle Aust, . Wonder if the price tag has anything to do with it....?
Supra 2019/20 GR GT $90,000AUS and GR GTS $103,000AUS. To give you US folk an idea a new 370Z is about $60,000 so entry level Supra is $30k more expensive, now that's a lot of money!

TheWolfe · 02-17-2020, 02:50 AM

I've seen a couple in Dallas over the past few months

NissanFreak81 · 02-17-2020, 07:55 AM

I've seen 4 here in Houston so far.

I think the bmw supra is a bit pricey but it doesnt have any resemblance of the mkiv.
Imo it's just of a fail. Especially with all the fake *** vents.
If the new Z is expensive, than nissan wont make any Z cars. Especially with their financial issues.
Nissan needs to make cheaper trim levels of the new Z

Apart from the fake vents, I actually like the new Supra a lot and I think it does a lot of things right. I actually thought one might replace the Z one day; however the lack of Manual made that otherwise. I don’t think it’s fast enough to warrant an auto trans only... especially since it’s not a DCT.

It would of been better if they kept more of the concept look.
At least they should of kept the wheelbase same as the mkiv.
For me I'm not a fan of the look. Now the concept design is much nicer.
Supposedly they went with the zf tranny. I guess it can handle more power. But it seems its cheaper for them to go with the zf. Since a lot of other manufacturers are using the same tranny.

Let's hope the design of the Z will be better than the supra. But I think, if anything, they will fall short if they use the Nissan's auto transmission.

Is there any other Nissan using the 3.7 motor in the Z? If not, replacing it with the 3.0TT could be seen as a cost cutting, streamlining measure. Grasping for straws I know.

Octane · 03-04-2020, 07:07 AM

they're all about cutting cost right now, should know more in may when they release their updated models.
