i just saw a post on fb they gave a few questions to dan about the aftermath and we basically wanted the z to be 50k from there research

Hmm, with these added costs for paint putting the Performance over $51k, I'm now looking at the Sport and upgrade from there. Really curious, starting to talk to vendors for coilovers, Quaife LSD, Brembo BBKs, etc, bet I can still get it way under the $10K upcharge. We will gladly install the bits.

This is my thought process as well. Easier to stomach swapping the stock 18 wheels unlike the RAYS. It will be a fun project to uprgade each paycheck. The only drawback is the interior. The sport seats are gross.. would you pick some off a wrecked performance? Or buy buckets?

I'm planning to buy aftermarket Recaros, heck if the Nismo 370Z Recaros fit I can happily deal with that. They do have the belt slots which I need. The stock Rays are just OK IMO, nothing special, I can find lighter forged or flow formed wheels out there.

After all these are done, I'll have a unique customized Sport ready to go. Bet some of these upgrades will make a lighter Z package anyway. The big plus is, aftermarket is mostly all there already.

And maybe dealers care less about ADMs on the lowly Sport hah, easier buy?!

the only thing im worried about now is the interest rates skyrocketing now

To get around that, compute your payment with your desired rate. Take your current rate payment, subtract your desired rate payment, and add the sum of that to your actual payment. You'll get your "effective" rate over the life of your loan because the interest is calculated on a descending loan balance.

If you pay more on principal each month, you'll pay less interest overall.

Payment at 4.99% = 547.67
Payment at 1.99% = 517.67
Add $30 to your 547.67 payment each month to pay an effective rate of 1.99% over the life of the loan.

Do not believe I've seen it posted elsewhere, however c/o @McLovin157 we've got what I believe are the US exterior/interior combos confirmed (added to first post, also here for visibility).

BG getting all three colors is such a big win. That much bright color added to the shiftiness of the BG really does make it a desirable option. Unfortunately, I really am sold on Blue on Blue (but I’d concede for a red on red). Honestly this car looks good in every color.

Can't believe we can't get blue on yellow. They really don't want us to have that Wolverine spec. Maybe, that's exclusively Mazda territory? (Yes, that was bad X2/RX8 joke).

Thank you for posting this here. I've been busy all freaking day talking with people about changing their orders now that we know exactly how we can customize the Z for the US.

The fact you can get the sport in all color options I think is the biggest win for the Z. That opens up a lot of avenues for many people.

I freaking love this

This was very, very helpful. Thanks for this. I plan to put a wack down but I'm so busy I don't pay attention to how car loans are structured vs. mortgages. Awesome!

No kidding! My last 370Z was at 2.9 or 3.9. Can't remember. But my Nissan dealer said they've got rates around 4.9 with decent terms.

Thought Experiment: If Nissan Corp offered 1.9% on the new Z it wouldn't matter what the price was as much. They'd be financing their own price increase! Just wait until everyone has to re-mortgage this next year (which will be me) and you go from something like 2.7% up to 4% on a property of 1M. That is going to hurt.
