How accurate were the "leaks"?

[jdm-rhd]

so, how close was the info we have been discussing on here for the last few months?
the trim levels were off for sure.
below are the specs that were leaked

I know, I know - another person with speculative info on an upcoming car, I'll just say I have a lot of family in TN....

The Z35 will still be a "Fairlady Z" in Japan, all other markets the Z35 will be called "Nissan Z"

MSRP: $34,995 (this is for the base with 0 options)
There will be 2 packages
- Base: 0 options.
- Type S: Brembos, thicker sways, coolers, other stuff.
- Type T: Leather, Power Seats, Heated and Cooled, Auto cruise, blind spot, etc
- Type ST: Both S and T Packages
- Each package will be roughly 5k each, ST will set you back 10k

Base gets Akebonos, Sport or Nismo get the Brembos - No more floating calipers.

All cars get...
- The 400hp Flavor of VR30DDTT
- The Digital Dash
- Android Auto / Car Play
- Rear Duckbill

Dry Weight = 3,252lbs

The Auto we're seeing on the Gunmetal and Silver cars is the Mercedes-Benz 9G-Tronic, no more 7 speed.
- Yes, it's still a torque converter Auto
- No, it's not as nice as the ZF8 (based on what I can find online, I've never driven anything with this transmission personally)
- It's better than the Jatco 7spd we all know now
- This transmission is already in the Titan and it will soon be in every Nissan / Infiniti RWD vehicle (including the Qs)

Yes, this car really is a 370Z with a Body Kit and a VR30 Swap and the chassis was massaged.......heavily (more aluminum, more bracing, carbon fiber)
- "370Z Sport" is the new "Base" (thicker sways, wider forged wheels, etc)
- "370Z Nismo" is the new "Sport" (even wider wheels, thicker sways, bracing)
- There is a Nismo version coming....it won't just be a body kit, exhaust, tune and some badges this time

The 6 spd manual is a carryover from the 370Z

There are 3 USDM Production cars in the US for a Dealer's Meeting and for journalist afterwards to review.

White 2 Tone: Stick, Sport, no pics have leaked (yet)
Silver 2 Tone: Auto, Touring
Gunmetal: Auto, Base

There is not a roadster in the cards right now, sorry folks.
Nissan is gunning for the Supra and the Mustang but it's main target is the Supra - make no mistake.
I don't have Nismo Info other than "Brembos" and "Baby GT-R"

Colors:
All 2020 370Z colors will carry over for the first year with additions of Yellow and that new Orange they are so proud of. They are going all in with the 240Z nostalgia on this one so don't be shocked if we see some "Heritage" colors down the line.

UPDATE: Colors for MY '22

Pearl White
Brilliant Silver
Gunmetal Grey
Magnetic Black
Passion Red
Deep Blue
Heritage Yellow
Sunset Drift

Only 2 options really. The special edition is so nice

Z and 400hp was right, but that was pretty much all over the web already.

Maybe I missed it, but do all cars get the rear spoiler?

Exactly this. Everything else he said was basically pure speculation that anyone could've came up with based on what is out on the internet.

Honestly I hate when people claim they have the "inside scoop" when in reality it's just a bunch of B.S. either they came up with or heard from somebody that knows somebody that knows something.

I just realized that you are probably trolling with this post

Right? Guess I'm gonna get a spoiler after all. Hopefully it can be removed without having a bunch of ugly holes, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Oh ok lol

It dawned on me after I answered that maybe you were making a joke since he said that all cars get a rear duckbill

Unfortunately, I would be shocked if that was the case.
