that thing is a frankenstein of parts

 

That's Frankenschteen.

 

Ahem, I think you mean Frankenstein's monster...

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

 

psssssssssssssh, no you didnt

 

I just want to see the official specs, pricing, and trim options already

Also, maybe the new Z is stick because Nissan can't figure out how to make a good CVT

 

With a Rumored $45k starting price it's a hell no from me.

 

Last I saw the expected starting price was $35k.

 

Nissan hasn't released any MSRP on the Z35. The average price for a new car today is over $40K. Where did you hear of a $35K starting price?

 

Multiple places, but it's all rumor. Seen everything from $35k-45k. More rumors landed in the mid-high $30s than in the $40s.

 

I can guarantee you it will be above $40k starting price, if I'm wrong even better, but I don't think I will be.

 

No care how much it costs.

I want to know where I can buy the tires to run on my underpowered and very slow 350Z. If the car don't scream, at least the tires will scream "Z cahhhhhhhh!!!"



But ya, I won't be buying a new Z anytime soon. Just bought another place on the island.... at least that should appreciate. And I can store more bikes than cars there. Heh heh....

In case anyone wants to know, the base model Z will be $39k.

Wagers?

 

I expect an invite to the new house

 

I'll wager a 6pk lol, I can't see it being under $40k but I hope I'm wrong, I don't care either way as I won't be buying one. My car will be better when I'm done with it.

 

Trav, you already have a standing invite here in CA or HI.

For a small cover charge.

Bring your Corvette. 😆

 

1684 miles one way at 20 mpg (prob less depending on right foot, averages 15 ish now), would cost me minimum $600 in gas round trip,


hmmmm.

 

Hey, kidding, I don’t care how you get here. The welcome mat is out.

 

Don't you put that evil juju out there.

 

Production model photos leaked. Folks are saying this is the US model due to the amber sidemarkers in the headlights.

Overall, very similar to the Z Proto. A few tweaks here and there. It looks like they ditched the two piece drilled rotors, can't tell if the calipers are 6 piston up front or not (looks like they are). Carbon fiber accents have been removed (not surprised). The new Z takes a lot design aspects from the 370Z and improves upon them (imo). The rear deck/bumper/taillights have grown on me over time and I really like the front end now. For me, all that remains is the price point and varying trim options.
