You can still get a base Z for $29K brand new. What other car in the sports car market gives you more for less $$$?

Ford Mustang starting at $26k, Chevy camaro starting at $25k, Dodge Challenger starting at $28k, Dodge Charger starting at $29k.

The point I was making to the other person is that if order for someone to buy an “outdated” sports car, you have to really love the car and/or afford it. There is a reason why people will pay more for less of a car compared to the market.

A Dime A Dozen on all these "lesser priced" cars....


My Z still garners Neck Straining Looks and Compliments from Young and Old alike and is rare to find on the road... I Like That...



You go ahead any buy your cheaply made and put together "Detroit Muscle Cars" that barely anyone notices on the road anymore... I'll stick to my very original looking 370Z. You don't Like it- Sell it and buy the other types. Free Country still....

Yes, but a Z is not a super car. The problem for a regular car to be on more of the "rarer" side means, no sales than they will stop making it altogether.

It's either u want a affordable sports car or not.

The Z may not be a supercar but it sure can be made to beat the crap out of said supercars for way less money.

What other sports cars are getting track use and in house mod warranties? I'll wait... Chevy has some legit in house aftermarket support as well.

Point is... To put a warranty that solid on a car you gotta be SURE that car is not gonna fall apart under duress, ie, not cheaply built.
Maybe the Z interior wont scratch as easily as a GM car, but build? I've tracked my car and taken some hits to the chassis and the car is is brick. Its solid.

The mustang and challenger also, on track are tanks... while those cars dont have written warranties for track use, as long as you dont mod the performance versions like a hellcat or gt350 or 500. They both will honor warranties on na V8 muscle THATS been tuned. Show me that in any JAPANESE or GERMAN CAR? I'll wait again?

The Z was an amazing car from 2009 to 2012, the Nismo helped resurgence some of that glory from 2015 to 2018.

From a reality perspective. Right now, going into 2021 model yrs. The Z is an outdated parts bin car from the Infiniti scrap heap, where the only original parts are the dash, the base console seats and external sheetmetal. The FM platform is outgunned and outdated by the alpha platform chassis in your much hated muscle. Muscle has completely dominated everything out of Japan and half of Germany.

Hoping for a competitive Z35.
I also didn't know about the warranties from GM. Wow, warranties even if the consumer was to beat the piss out of the car....

Once again, you are missing the point I was making. I was not bashing the Z, nor am I fan of the other vehicles I have mentioned.
