:barf: that's really disappointing. They also mentioned ice mode which if you've ever experienced on track or autocross is an awful thing.

Not if you're going to track it or drive it in any sort of a "spirited" way. Seems like the 9AT was overheating after just a couple laps and the shifts are sluggish when driven hard. Auto may be...

Savagegeese review is up and as usual is very thorough and well done. They seem quite smitten by it as a drivers car.

Closer than I thought it would be as...

Also looks like $58.5K CAD for the Performance. Just based on a review, can't find official info. At over $60K otd, I think Nissan messed up.

106314

It's official. $49,990USD for the Performance trim. A $10,000 premium over the Sport trim :rofl:

According to https://www.motortrend.com/features/2023-nissan-z-closer-look-differences-changes?slide=1 there appears to be a recirc valve which dumps pressurized air just upstream of the turbo.....

I think the ~3500lbs has been known for a while, but it's not exactly 200lbs heavier than the 370Z. The Performance trim is equivalent to the Touring Sport trim.

No big surprise, but it's nice that it's now formally confirmed and that it is in fact coming to Canada.



Final drive is the same as the BMW M2 so it's likely the same gearbox. The iMT seems...

Test N' Tune this Saturday and a Practice event this Sunday, weather looks decent. Very few people are registered so you'll get a ton of seat time if you go:

1) Test and Tune, Saturday April 30: ...

:werd:

Sounds like pricing on May 16th and press embargo lifted on May 18th, if the Z forums are to be believed.

I believe the Japanese "ST" is equivalent to the Performance trim in North America. If so that would put it only a grand (US) less than the Supra 3.0 ($51.6K USD MSRP). That would be a tough sell at...

Yup for sure, it is a parts bin car rolling on largely the same chassis. If they price it anywhere near the Supra it'll be a flop.

Yup, not disputing that. Keep in mind the last Z started at $30K CAD. We'll see soon enough what it comes in at.



I hope we see some reviews soon.

...

The Supra 2.0 starts at ~56K CAD, I'd be willing to bet that the Z undercuts even that price for the base car. Hopefully we'll find out any day now.

It's simply to show that $40K USD doesn't necessarily equal $50.5K CAD, if Nissan's previous pricing differences between the US and Canadian markets mean anything. Even if not, there's still going to...

The Supra starts at $51.6K USD and $68.5K CAD. Besides, a manual Supra hasn't been formally confirmed yet. As for Nissan's pricing......

https://i.imgur.com/PVLzcDe.png...

All depends on price, if the Z undercuts the Supra by $15K, the Supra will be even less appealing than it already is. The Z coming with a proper manual transmission is a huge perk in my opinion.

Yah Nissan sure is taking their sweet time to announce pricing. It's all but confirmed that it will start around $40K USD, but that's all that's known.

I think it does indeed compete against the Supra. Though it's a couple hundred pounds heavier, it makes slightly more power (all be it slightly less torque) and both now have a proper LSD. Though...

FTFY

Sadly she's a bit of a porker, especially compared with the Zupra

Sounds pretty good from inside, I wonder how much of that is fake.

Ahh interesting, I didn't know you could plug two buttkickers into one buttkicker amp, maybe I'll do that for the time being.




Nice.

If it were me I'd mount it directly to one of the 80/20...

Is that an ASR 4? Looks nice!




The Boost Kit is a rip off as it's just an upgraded power supply but you 100% need the 8NM, at 5NM it just doesn't feel right. If you want to save some pennies...

Good point. Coupled with Elon rolling back other features and options, maybe they'll strip out some other stuff to reduce the weight :rofl:



Yah and therein lies the rub, for North of $80K OTD...

I could see myself getting something like a Tesla Model 3 Performance in a few years..... once the curb weight comes down by 10-15% due to battery improvements and someone like GM makes it :rofl:

^ Best color there is :love:

I put some F-Sport springs on a buddies 2013 GS 350 and it didn't look a whole lot better than that :rofl:

Also upgraded pedals recently, went from Fanatec CS V3's to HE Sprints. The Sprints are definitely a high end pedal, fit & finish is outstanding and the amount of hardware and software adjustment is...

Done, I think :dunno: I never use discord.

Shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll send you over a spreadsheet with all my settings for both the wheel settings and the iRacing settings.

True, but for some additional perspective keep in mind that the C&D guys were actually slightly faster in the CT5-V Blackwing than the GM factory drivers. So it seems to be they were just being timid...

Yah that's bats**t crazy for an SUV. Granted it did come on Pirelli Corsa PZC4's which were heat cycled to boot. An SUV on track specific tires is such an oxymoron :rofl:

:werd: Agreed.



That's quite subjective. Just look at the results of the other GM Alpha Chassis cars on the list, they punch way above their price point. Alpha Chassis + Gen 4 Magnetomagical...

Heck no, the 1LE just got re-classed from BS to FS by the SCCA this year so I'm hanging onto it for at least this season as well.

Orders for the car are now live on Nissan's website: https://www.nissan.ca/z-reservation.html#reserve

Luckily I got my confirmation yesterday :rofl:

https://i.imgur.com/t9oUZtv.jpg

Bigger/wider Rays Forged wheels and better brakes (larger rotors with Akebono calipers) but yeah the rest of the stuff is just creature comforts.

The chassis may be dated but they have revised the suspension geometry and increased torsional rigidity for the new car. Whether that alone will be enough is yet to be determined. Also double...

Yup, that's what both the GM and Sales guy said.



Pretty much all of the details and info regarding the three trim levels is now available here. Only thing yet to be confirmed is the actual...

:rofl:

Here's what the sales guy & GM told me:

- Only 140 2023 MY's coming to Canada
- Official pre-orders open to the public Feb. 3, however if you put your deposit down with a dealer (like I...

Doesn't sound like it's DAS on the Z.
