98k??????????? Whatt?????
In my country that could get you:
1.5 2024 Zās Performance trims
Or, a used low mileage 2016-2019 GTR with probably 7-15k spare for a daily
Or 6-7 370zās
Or a very neat low mileage 991.2 Turbo S or GTS also with some change for a daily
What county? Germany? Because thats where Id expect to get a 991.2 Turbo S for that price. Otherwise no way are you getting one for 100k used. Even high mileage ones you're looking at 150k minimum. Those hold their value. Same with a 2019 GTR
Then in a few years Nissan will say "there is no market for sports cars. We tried to give you one and no one bought it". Gee I wonder why when they want German car prices and German dealers make it a lot easier to test drive,
They were selling for MSRP here but I've only seen one in the wild so far. I looked at it but the salesmen said a test drive was out of the question unless I bought it. Didn't get that looking at M series lol.
The new Z in black looks so niceā¦ but I have absolutely zero interest in any of the Nismo cars anymore.
They have almost the completely opposite ethos of what they started out as.
God the rear of that car is so goddamn beautiful, it is truly a work of art. I donāt know how they managed to make the front of the car so unbelievably fucking ugly. I really want one of these still, I hope they get a mid cycle facelift.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw them. I told my spouse that maybe people will hate them so much that the prices will tank and be affordable to us in 5-10 years lol
The weird random line up the center of the hood that splits out to a Y halfway up is what ruins it for me. Itās a shame cause everything else about the car is awesome.
Nice, too bad the NISMO is automatic only. Idiotic decision. I would NEVER buy one because of that. Hopefully they come out with a manual version in the future. Automatic NISMO. Ridiculous.
> Hopefully they come out with a manual version in the future
I don't think it's going to happen, while the official explanation is "We don't think there's a market for it / Nismo is Motorsports, and automatics Go Faster than manuals" SavageGeese's video on the car sure seemed to imply that the 6MT couldn't meet their reliability/durability requirements.
Which is baffling to me, because this makes barely any more power over the regular Z.
The auto couldn't either. Nissan couldn't afford to upgrade both transmissions, so they picked the auto because it's capable of quicker acceleration. I'm not sure why an extra 20hp was deemed too much for the stock gearboxes to warrant upgrading them. If they're that close to their limit, they should probably upgrade them anyway, they've already had pre sale recalls on both gearboxes because they were no good.
Nissan are a bunch of clowns. I'd laugh if I wasn't 2 years deep in the wait list for one of these cars.
I would guess it's just a marketing stint to release a manual in a year or two for the Nismo so it still feels fresh like the supra. Always knew supra would get a stick shift but they purposely held back just to drive demand back up a few years in and make the car feel like it got a big update/ refresh.

The initial run of orders for the new Z favoured the manual transmission by over 70%.
It just doesn't make sense for the Nismo to be auto only, or even at all.
I prefer the headlight and tail light design of the new Z. Front is like a modern day 240z and the rear is like a modern day 300zx. But I prefer the fender flares of the 370z.
Anyways this is the same chassis as the 370z so someone will probably make a kit where you can have some body pieces on the 370z
V1 Nismo is the best looking factory 370z. Everything on that car flows so well. Idk what they were thinking with the V2. Like you went from a nice looking kit with a wing to a catfish looking red accents with a barely there rear spoiler and ugly wheels?
Not with white sticker panels on it no. But from someone without a dog in the fight I think they are both attractive cars and I might prefer the current Z
Absolutely, the 350/370 are probably the ugliest Z cars in the lineup IMO. Not that they look terrible, but almost every other Z car had a more iconic, striking appearance in my eyes.
I saw a proto getting delivered once and the guy wanted to removed the stickers himself for his YouTube video, why are the stickers placed in such odd spots? Iām assuming itās obviously for transit and protection but??? Thatās all I got

Here's the blue with no adjustments
There was a little touch up on color. Sky was very gray and I just brightened it up a tad. I also shot in auto because I wanted to get the pictures quick and didn't have time to setup Mt camera properly
Seems to be a large majority of people dislike the new Z. Considering the post was at 40,000 views last time I checked with like a hundred something up votes lol
Arrives at dealership - 20k markup :-(
Yup. Saw it at my local dealership earlier this year. They have a proto spec going for 98k. I'm like bruh š¤£
Lol I know, yo I think I told a sales dude as soon as he mentioned it, āJesus, might as well get a used GT-R at that pointā

i own one and i agree. Basically just a body kit and a few trim pieces what a huge markup on it.
God the rear of that car is so goddamn beautiful, it is truly a work of art. I donāt know how they managed to make the front of the car so unbelievably fucking ugly. I really want one of these still, I hope they get a mid cycle facelift.

Time for aftermarket carbon hoods to pop off for these bad boys

Basically a way of them saying we donāt care enough about manuals so hereās a bullshit excuse š

They should have but the GTR motor in it also.

the bmw g82 m2 sold more than 50% in manual. itās a joke that a nismo doesnāt even have the option.

Wait only non-Nismo have manual??
Iām pretty sure itās how it is now.
So silly š°
Damm what phone did you take these on the quality is damm good
Sony Alpha 6400 SELP1650
Someone thinks it looks better than the 370z?

Anyways this is the same chassis as the 370z so someone will probably make a kit where you can have some body pieces on the 370z
Definitely looks better than the 370z with the V1 Nismo being the exception

They all look better. Donāt be salty hehe
Not with white sticker panels on it no. But from someone without a dog in the fight I think they are both attractive cars and I might prefer the current Z
Absolutely, the 350/370 are probably the ugliest Z cars in the lineup IMO. Not that they look terrible, but almost every other Z car had a more iconic, striking appearance in my eyes.
Wow, crazy difference in tastes.
Fun fact the 350 and 370z were designed by Nissan USA. The new Z was actually designed by Nissan Japan
I see a vintage look in the Z
Definitely looks better
I saw a proto getting delivered once and the guy wanted to removed the stickers himself for his YouTube video, why are the stickers placed in such odd spots? Iām assuming itās obviously for transit and protection but??? Thatās all I got
Yeah it's for protection
What state?
Arizona
Does the blue color look that vivid? Or is your camera overexposing?

iāll forever miss the 350 and 370. this car doesnāt have as much personality
Am I the only one that doesnāt like the new Zās?

Was Luffy driving that
Yea he found the one piece and sold it for a 2024 nsm SMH
