All these guys are reviewing the 50K performance version. unless you like the styling and Z nostalgia at that price better to just get a used GT350 or a mustang GT with magna-ride suspension+money for bolt-ons and go full crowd killer lol. I was definitely looking forward to this release but the prices are really not making this worth it.

The Pony cars always had a great value-for-money proposition, but they're not everyone's cup of tea. Looks like Nissan did good by the Z, and more options are certainly better. Also, did the Z offering a manual spur Toyota to offer one for the Supra? Or was it planned years in advance? |

If I'd shopped for one, I'd definitely get the base model with as little bells and whistles as possible. Add fully catless exhaust + professional dyno tune, good coilovers, clutch type lsd, brakes and you'll get a much better car than the higher trims offer for the similar if not less overal price.

the z's were never really that affordable of sports cars. the pricing is pretty much in line with what the 370z was before this just by itself, and even more in line after considering all the supply chain issues and renegotiations it took to build the car during a global shutdown.
i mean, the 370 always cost more than the brz... just looking up 2014 values: brz MSRP was $26,500-28,500 370z MSRP was $29,990-43,020. and 2022 values: brz MSRP is $27,995-$32,295 z MSRP is $39,990-52,990 it looks more like they got rid of the lower level trims to focus more on the higher end market, which every automaker is doing anyways, especially with suv's. the top end pricing of either vehicle hasn't changed all that much though.

If my 86 was totaled tomorrow it would be replaced with a Z.
Looks like they corrected every single thing I disliked about the 370.

If it were a 2+2 I'd be tempted as well, but it isn't unfortunately. I'd just always have to approach the car from the back.

I have full confidence that the aftermarket will come up with something to fill those vast tracks of land on either side of the grill and that is all I would want.

That's one of the best reviews I've read to date. I love this part:

On a side note - do we know whether it will require premium gas? I assume it will, but just curious. |
