I'm with you! I've been racking my head over the past couple weeks If I wanna go back to ICE...and I do, cuz the Tesla just doesn't scratch that itch for modding, personalization, and driving engagement...but then I look at my 3x-week commute to work and the fact, like you say, I can just jump...
S58 was really good. I'm used to single turbo, so under 3k it didn't feel good, but after that it was incredible. Highway fuel econ isn't too bad, but daily I was getting 18iish being conservative. That's not bad, but for a car with 500hp and not being able to use it and suffer abysmal fuel...
Haha. Nah. Gave my parents the Model 3. My wife wasn't a fan of it (excessive wind and tire noise plus too small for our needs). Looking at Genesis GV70 or possibly Highland Y until I find a good CPO Z.
Traded in the X3M for a Model S Plaid. Started a new job so wanted something fuel efficient but as quick/fun as the X3.
Love the car so far. Put 1900miles on it in 2 weeks and spent $75 in charging!
I test drove a demo ITS recently in CLT. and initial impressions, the car is impressive. Low, Mean and Wide. 100% agree that it does look like the "adult" version of the CTR.
After 2 20+ min test drives on the car and same for the Z, I can say with confidence that the ITS has its pros for...
Is AT only official? If so, that's a deal breaker. I swore my next Z would be Nismo 6mt after missing out on Last 2 iterations.
Well, I guess it'll be between the ITS or pig nose M3...
I'll get it. Needs a few cosmetic tweaks, but I dig it. As long as it's under $62k and 6MT I'm in. It's either this or the ITS that I'm on the waitlist for.
I'll put a deposit in now and by the time my future kid is 3yrs old I'll receive my 2024 Nismo Z. WTF. Imagine the price gouging and dealership markups. For anyone in the market, note that average car prices (on luxury brands, and sports cars) have increased around 10% since March.
In my short 15 min test drive I had, the Z clutch is MUCH easier to manage then pre 2015 Nismo 370z clutches were. The 370z would get tiresome in traffic due to the heavy and very high engagement point, but you could get around that by blipping the throttle. I think the Z's clutch wouldn't be so...
Yellow looks really good. I loved the black I saw in TN (still available BTW for $56k, 4k miles I believe). I missed Soho's unveil of their White Z a little while ago.
Back on Topic, car looks incredible! Congrats again!
AWE is super high quality. Had their Track Edition ( +Resonated Downpipes) on my 2018 S4. Only issue I had (i believe its resolved now) was the Tip discoloration on the black PCd tips (majority of vendors have this issue with non silver tips). I bet it'll sound incredible. Someone is very lucky...
For the ITS, was told by my local Acura dealer that a $2k deposit is required to get a chance of getting 1 of the 9 spots they have available for the car. 9 Spots is based on lottery system of total deposits, and 2 color options (they have no idea what colors they'll get) but they'll go down the...
SRM on for 90% of the time as the 370z was my daily. if I had the new Z now, I'd probably go 50/50 to get back in the habit of heel-toe and rev matching manually.
The problem is with the dealer gouging prices. A buddy who's on the waitlist for this has been quoted a $20k markup and he's #10 not even in the top 5.
If you snag at MSRP it's worth it since it'll retain value better
Hopefully jumps on these. The Swifts on the Z34 platform had the perfect balance of street and track performance. The best bang for your buck mod coupled with Eibach Sway bars
