Congrats! Black with red interior is a great combo. Make sure they don't back out on that MSRP agreement or tack on other ridiculously priced options to make up for the demand.

Thanks. I wanted pearl white to match my Stealth and WRX but don't want to wait! The black looks good in pics. Debating the protective film and ceramic coating.
I donā€™t know much about ceramic coating but anything you can do to keep the black from getting scratched would be a plus. Iā€™ve only had one black car. It looked great but the black wasnā€™t great for hiding fine scratches.

Delivery delayed till 5/17...the wait is torture!
You can do it. Youā€™re almost there! :) Just think about yourself behind the wheel, with that awesome ā€œZā€ on the steering wheel in front of you and the turbos spinning up. ;)

Youā€™re definitely a lot closer than I am. Iā€™m probably at least a year away before I even hunker down and get serious.

Hello from a Fellow VR30 Enthusiast in Tampa, FL

What's up guys!

New member to this forum, however I've been playing with VR30's since early 2018. Here to offer helpful information to VR30 owners and am very curious to see where the Z will take this platform.

Here's some pics of my ride and my mods are in my signature. Renovated my garage for her as well. Currently finishing up my methanol tune with Z1 Motorsports and will share dyno/Dragy numbers soon.

Hello all.
After a year long quest, finally scored a ā€˜23 Z without a ridiculous ā€œmarket adjustmentā€. Hereā€™s a shot of my ā€˜73 and my ā€˜23 - fifty

Very nice, Congrats! My '73 is also 50, that means I'd better score a '23?! šŸ¤”

New member here, but not new to the Z. In fact, the 2024 Z that I just bought (Performance, AT, Metallic Silver/Red Accent) is the 9th Z that I've owned since the 240 Z that I bought in 1970. The 240Z was fantastic (as I remember). The 260Z was a dog, the two 280Z's were great, but slow. The two 280ZX's were about the point where the Z became the overweight, bloated GT luxo-cruiser and was the point where I bailed on the Z (except for the 280ZX Turbo, which I bought because...well...Turbo!)That car was a blast. I started back with Z's when the 370Z came out. I've had two of them (2012 and 2014) and THAT car took me back to the 240Z. I opted to trade for the 2024 Z when my 2014 hit 60,000 miles. I confess that I'm a bit skeptical of the RZ34 because I see it as another step toward the Z becoming another bloated luxo-cruiser, but we'll see....without even driving this RZ34, I've already ordered a set of Z1 sway bars because I KNOW it will need them. I'll have to actually listen to it before pulling the trigger on a cat-back, but ... probably.

When I started looking around for a 2024 Z about a week ago, I began with my long-time Nissan dealer about 90 miles from here (local dealer kind of sucks). It showed online that they had the silver/red accent AT Performance in stock. I called and they said that the car wasn't actually in stock, but on a truck somewhere between there and Los Angeles , and that it wasn't spoken for. Over the phone, they offered me $18,000 for my 2014 against $54,425 for the new one (MSRP+dest+floor mat pkg+illlum kick plates+"interior door scuff protection" whatever that is). They called me this morning to tell me it came off the truck this morning, they were prepping it, and I'll pick it up in a couple of days. Only glitch could be the weather. These cars don't go in the snow. This is Minnesota and it snowed last night, hopefully melt by Friday. The last Z I bought from them in March of 2014 they had to deliver 90 miles on a truck (snow) and took my 2012 away. I never set foot in the dealership, we did the deal in my kitchen. It was like ordering a pizza.

Anyway, I'll post back when I pick up the car on Friday. In the meantime....any reason I should consider sway bars other than the ones from Z1?
