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.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

What is the mindset of people who are desperate enough to buy sports cars in this market. Can you not live with a normal vehicle for a while?
Is that fish Creek Nissan car just renders? Is that car even real? Too bad you can't pay cash...

I always wanted a Nismo 370z when I was younger. Still think they are pretty cool... not for those prices tho. Those are base model f150 prices!

I feel like 400hp just isn't near enough these days.
Weren't they working on a tiny 3 cylinder 600hp engine? That would have been more suitable I think.

This is the engine they should have used.
Looks like Japan pricing has been set, and a delay on the release date to summer.
https://www.motor1.com/news/581912/n...elayed-summer/
TLDR:
"...start at ¥5,241,500 ($41,081). either the six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic gearbox.
two top specs, the Version ST and Proto Spec, start at ¥6,462,500 and ¥6,966,300 ($50,650 and $54,599), respectively, regardless of the gearbox.
The only price difference in Japan is between the Version S and the Version T. The Version S is equipped with the manual transmission, and it starts at ¥6,063,200 ($47,521). The Version T comes with the auto and starts at a cheaper ¥5,687,000 ($44,572). Both are mid-range trims."
I'm still leaning GR Corolla at this pricing, but only because I'm more in the market for a fun daily. I could see this being big in warmer US climates.
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 that price imo.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Looks like press drives are finally starting https://www.nissanzclub.com/forum/th...speedway.1070/
This thing is going to fail if it’s priced that close to the supra.
That being said, if it depreciates like a Nissan, it’ll be a good used buy.
Have to wait and see what the north american pricing goes. You would think Nissan would be smart enough to price it considerably lower than the Supra as it's not like they had to put a lot of development into this car as it's basically a reskinned 370Z with a new drivetrain.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Sounds like pricing on May 16th and press embargo lifted on May 18th, if the Z forums are to be believed.
I would think so too. They did something similar when the GT86/BRZ came out and offered a less optioned version of the 350Z to compete with it's price point. Agree this is just a restyling of the 370z with a new engine combo from the parts bin, but isn't that how some of the best muscle cars were made? Current platform is old tech but still a capable sports car, lets just throw a different engine at it. All the Q60S buyers that complain about no manual and trade em in.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think the marketing team just decided to have field day with the whole renaming, all new, katana sword meh.

Unconfirmed but based on leaks it looks like the 400Z is ~200 lbs heavier than the 370Z?
~3300-3400 has now become ~3500-3600 lbs
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.
Fat people never lose weight, either.
I just realized that this is exactly 1000lbs heavier than my car with me in it. But I don't have any much comforts like AC, or reliability.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
