Just to clarify I said "a big chunk" not most. Big chunk meaning probably around 1/4 of the sales are the 5.0 V8. I know most of the sales are the Ecoboost, but the 5.0 Mustang alone surely sells 2-3x more than the 3.0 Supra.
Stock vs stock I think the new Z could beat the 5.0 Mustang. It'll...
Another good competitor. The new M2 starts at ~$59,000. Depending on the price of the new Z, I'd strongly consider a lightly used M2 instead. It is an incredible car with great performance, nice sports car looks, and the interior is nice as well.
Supra vs Z has been the topic of rivalry debate since the Z Proto was revealed. But honestly I don't think the new Supra is as competitive as the new Mustang GT when it comes to the actual sports car market that these cars are in.
Why do I believe this? Well let's break down both the Supra and...
The exhaust is going to be pretty much exactly the same as the current 370z. Underside pictures/videos of the proto were taken and it looks exactly the same. Wouldn't be surprised if current aftermarket 370z exhausts bolt right onto the new Z.
Yeah I kinda doubt you put a legitimate "deposit" down towards the car. Especially in Canada. The US is a much bigger market for the Z, hence why the leaked production cars were sent to the US. Neither the production car nor official specs have been officially revealed yet and it's not a limited...
There's absolutely no way they will change the engine. It will definitely be the 3.0 VR; just tuned to make more power. A different body kit is expected of course. I don't see them making it AWD, ever. The Z is known as a RWD sports car. The whole point of this new Z is the heritage behind it...
I'm sure a design more retro wouldn't meet regulation or safety standards. Honestly I don't mind that they tried going back to the original Z styling, but at the same time I still wish they would've gotten a bit more creative with the design. I like the car much more now than when I first saw...
The wheelbase is exactly the same and this has been confirmed by the gentlemen in the video above, measuring the wheelbase. They actually got scolded by one of the Nissan representatives in the video.
There was a video of a few Japanese car journalists that did an upclose inspection of the car while it was at the Nissan paddock place in Japan(they looked underneath the rear, looked in the grille, measured the wheel base, looked at the suspension) and it had a lot of the same parts of the...
