Anyone have prices on these yet? Thinking of upgrading my Z to a Grand Touring.

 

www.nissanusa.com Do a cyber-build....Prices are there....Dave p.s. Not sure the Grand Touring avail. as Roadster?

 

Grand Touring only comes as a Roadster I have one on order with three a head of me. Nissan has not released a price as of yet but it looks like it will be about $2500-$3500 more than a Touring model with 18" wheels. First week in Jan. we will know for sure.

 

See what I know? Learn something new every day.....He can still do a build at Nissan website.......

 

You can't do a build on the Grand Touring yet. First week in Jan, this from the Nissan corp. We will see if it's true or not.

 

It will be some 120 lbs heavier than the Touring. That's a lot of extra weight on an already heavy car.

 

My guess is that some of the weight comes from the 18s which, on the '04 Touring was an option

 

Were did you get the info on the extra 120 lbs.

 

That much weight really doesn't matter! I could see if someone was in pro racing or whatever but really, 120 pounds is like another person sitting in a passenger seat. Or a 280 lb driver.
Sorry, but all issues about weight gets a little overkill. When you're goin' 80+ doesn't really matter---the car will do it and it is fun!

 

Right off the 2005 Nissan Brochure.

However, someone made a good point in this thread. It is probably partly due to the 18' wheels that come standard on the Grand Touring. The curb weight they give for the Touring Roadster is 120 lbs lighter than the Grand Touring Roadster, but that is the Touring's weight with the 17" wheel.

I wonder how much more the 18" weigh than the 17".

 

Weight does matter, especially 100+ lbs. There is a very noticeable difference in the quickness of my s2000 when any passenger over 100 lbs is sitting in the passenger seat.

The Z Touring Roadster is about 600 lbs heavier than the S2000, so proportionally you'd think that anone over 120 lbs. would make a noticeable difference when driving in the passenger seat of a Z.

I just ordered my Z so I can't speak from experience on this, juit theory.

 

Really? I had an S2000 and remeber doing 80+ on twisties in VA w/ a friend on an S meet and really didn't notice much. I tach High when I am driving fast.

 

According to the sales manual, the curb weight is 3,536 lbs on the GT Roadster. The curb weight on the Touring Roadster is 3,462 lbs w/manual and 3,479 w/auto, Enth Roadster is 3,428 lbs w/manual and 3,446 lbs w/auto.

 

But... How much is it???

 

Haven't seen the price tag on one yet.
