Is $40k a good price for a 400hp Z?

I was hoping for $35k but imo $40k is still a better buy than the Zupra

I think we should wait for the full reveal before deciding. I want to hear more details, specifically if there have been upgrades to chassis, suspension, interior, etc other than what we've seen on the proto.

I had my doubt about the rumored $35k price tag.
$40k for 400hp is reasonable nowadays.

 

[NissanFreak2021]

Yes, that sounds about right.

 

[GNOAK]

I wanted the 35k price tag given how the 86 stayed in the same ballpark as previous gen, but even at 40k, it's a better deal that the Zupra 乁( •_• )ㄏ

 

[GNOAK]

Will definitely wait 2-3 years to buy as it'll give me time to save for a larger down payment y'know.

I was hoping it would be < $40k especially considering that most of the car already exists within Nissans parts supply so development costs would be very low. But I didn’t think $35k was realistic but maybe $37 or $38k. Also, manufacturers tend to incrementally increase prices from the previous gen. The last 370z base was around $30k so a $5k base price increase is a lot. So a $10k base price increase is astronomical. I wonder if they increased the expected price due to the covid inflation and that’s why they held it so close to their chest. So at $40k my expectations go up a lot. I am expecting to get a sport trim for $45k with 6/4 piston fixed brembo brakes, 2 piece rotors, a refined and smooth shifting short throw trans with upgraded synchros, tuned shocks, springs, and away bars, eLSD, cooling for diff, trans, engine, brakes, and ability to monitor all of that. This is a car I should be able to take on the track and not have to mod to make up for shortcomings with that price. But for perspective, the 300zx twin turbo cost $37k in 1993 which is around $70k today. Compared to that...the performance value is very good.

$40k for 400hp is fine I guess but now we got to worry about the damn markups.

 

[Octane]

The performance version + some options + tax, guessing the car will be $50-55k OTD.

I'm hoping for a really good driving car, with high quality materials to match.

This is my question ^

What price will we actually get for what we want to own? I thought the Supra was overpriced at $56k, but at $49k, I was a buyer (and no regrets). I was hoping to get a Z for $43-44k, but I might have to plan on spending more.

I did find the esthetics more appealing in what was revealed tonight. I think it’s a good looking car. Of course, I think the Supra is also good looking, so there’s that.

 

[Zboy]

I'm not sure where he got his info from but he said starting at $38k.

I'm just still in awe that you're paying 40k for a car with the majority of it's underpinnings (although good) and it STILL doesn't have an LSD standard.

It's crazy out here man.

Base Caymans (and possibly still 911s) come with open diffs too.

The deal breaker for me is going to be weight. I don't like the price increase and may buy something else if the weight is over 3500lbs.
