Price combined with overall scarcity, definitely. It is far easier to overlook the baked-in issues that the 350 and 370 had because, outside of the top-tilt variants, they were rather inexpensive (I think I paid like $35K new for mine back in 2017) sports cars. It does get harder to justify for...

The VQ37 is definitely a coarse-revving engine. If I wanted to spin it positively, I guess I could say that it's "visceral-feeling" but mileage may vary on that point.

Yes! I noticed that too! I saw Sport trims in FL listed in the mid $50K range, early on, and even still. Most of the Performance trims had some add-on, but it was proportionally less (like $5-10K)

At this point, it virtually has to be.

If the NISMO can repeatedly run flat 12s with that trap speed, we're in business. That's quicker than anticipated.

Yeah, the impressions I've read indicated that it doesn't really feel much faster in a straight line than the performance. Perhaps it's easier to launch, though, which could result in those better times.

I concur, Dr. In fact, I think that highly-repeatable 3.9 and low-12 second 1/4 mile times would be huge wins for the NISMO. Something that nearly everyone is able to replicate with a reasonable degree of ease. That's partially what has set the new Supra apart from the Z (among other things, I...

I hope that it does post quicker times than the Performance - which already runs in the 4.1 second range assuming one can cleanly launch it - but that weigh gain may be a factor. The tires, suspension settings, and transmission programming could help it get into the 3.8 range. That would look...

Same! Those are starting to pop up around Naples and that vehicle just bloody dropped!

I still haven't even seen a Z in the wild. This rollout has been shakier than a cr***head during an earthquake 😂

That's...too expensive for a Z.

Oh, yeah, I'll bet that's it, like a special edition or a certain option code or whatever. It's wild out there, man

Really?? Where are you seeing that? That's wild because what I've seen is that it's about a $900 increase (from 53,595 to 54,500 for the 3.0, for example).

Which is powerfully weak stuff, in my view.

It's especially true if you are trying to shop somewhat locally. If I'd found a yellow Supra within a 300-mile radius and without some silly markup during the last year, I'd probably be driving it.

This makes me happy 🤟

Just the spoiler, please! I have to imagine that there will be an aftermarket variant of this spoiler even if Nissan does not decide to share the part with any other markets.

I fear that Nissan may be making a calculated decision in deliberately *not* optioning the base Z with LSD, at the very least. Surely Nissan reps have read the feedback. They've heard the noise. I guarantee it is known within the company that they'd move as many units of the base Z as they...

Boom, that's the one I'd take. 👏

I'd do it in a heartbeat, though I'd prefer the A-pillars and roof section be black. One could always wrap those areas.
