Nissan forgot they even put out a new Z.

Sharing my thoughts on the Z. I have the proto spec, it has only 800 miles on it and still haven’t floored it yet waiting to finish the braking in. But its crazy fast, responsive and has a lot of power. Handling is good but need to take it to the twisty roads to get a full fell of its true handling but having said that I thing it will not disappoint even with the current tires.

I can tell you that its a great car with great room for improvements depending what you are in to. Of the bat it needs a louder exhaust, better rubber. You can upgrade the hell out if it. But if you keep it stock and just enjoy the day to day drive It doesn’t disappoint.

Nissan did drop the ball on the rollout big time and I totally understand the frustration I was frustrated as well and almost jumped ship. But am happy that I didn’t.

all in all the car is a very nimble and a head turner for sure.

Until a C7 Corvette or a 3.0 GR Supra rolls up, then the Z won't seem all that "crazy fast" and good handling anymore.

Their heads are probably filled with nothing but Rogues and Pathfinders.

I’d love a corvette…here in Aus they sell for 200k…sadly not an option , not for me at least

How would it matter if one of those cars "rolls up"? You gonna street race?

I mean, if we're gonna go there, most Teslas will smack all 3 of those cars hard off the line. And you're way more likely to "roll up" on a Tesla. I see more Teslas than Corollas nowadays....

Especially in Seattle! I swear every Microsoft/Amazon guy is driving a Tesla here. I almost joined them, but its like driving a computer on wheels. Its quite nice, but there's no feel to it for me. I cannot wait to get this new Z, so I feel your pain my friend. And yeah any Tesla will smack the new Z off the line, but thats not why we want one of these. Its about the overall experience and how this car feels like its a big Miata but more fun. At least for me. I vote you hold of a little bit longer!

I live and work in the Mukilteo/Everett area, I'm surprised by how many Rivian trucks I'm seeing, exactly 3 more than I've seen of the new Z.

And those will do some off the line smack down too....

I'm over in Redmond, which should probably have its name changed to Microsoftville. I think there's at least 1 Rivian in my neighborhood, and its like the Model 3 is standard issue for everyone else. Then there's me, driving my 03 Acrua until the wheels fall off. lol.

Lol @takemorepills go hop on the supramkv.com forum, it's active and always new shit posted everyday. ?

Nissan fumbled the ball with pricing, I bet if it was 35-40k MSRP base folks wouldn't mind the wait.

 

[SD_MK]

Damn that's crazy.... crazy to the point where i know local dealerships selling the GR Corollas already on the floor while the Z has yet to hit floors officially, not little by little from what i've seen...

Not true…pricing in Aus is pretty much as expected, and we are all still pissed off and deserting orders in droves

This is good, someone needs to post it on Nissans Facebook page

I think the base for $40k is fine. The Performance trim pricing is the real problem. It should be $45-$47k MAX.

At this rate the new Mustang will hit dealerships before the new Z. The Mustang GT is the 2nd biggest, (borderline the biggest competitor) to the new Z next to the Supra. What percentage of folks do you want to bet get the new Mustang GT instead of the Z because they're tired of waiting?

Heck I'm seeing Used 2020 3.0 Premium Supras going for ~$45k right now. I'm a 370Z owner and a used 2020 Supra is more appealing to me than the new Z. All day, not even a question for me. Nissan is too late to the party. The new Z should've been out on the market over a year ago. And there really is no excuse. Blame COVID all you want, the car is essentially a 370z with a different motor, some different body panels, and new infotainment. It should NOT have taken this long to get the car developed and on the market.
