Savagegeese says 2023 Nissan Z is amazing

Timing is least of my concerns. MSRP is the most important for a MT performance version. 46k is my limit

Seriously, the endless rumors around pricing have been eating me alive for the past months. I'm just happy we finally get a date to look forward to.

This is SG, track had mostly dried by end of day. Surface of that facility was like sand paper. We drove flat out back to back with 370Z. Rest assured, as we honor the embargo you will get all of your questions answered honestly. And if you have things we can answer I will along with posting as much here as I can.

Can you tell us if you drove AT or MT?

Appreciate it! Great to have you on here as well.

On this point, I'd like to start a thread regarding recommended dealers so members can avoid being shafted. Topics would include a list of dealers NOT charging ADM, highest rated dealers for customer satisfaction, best service dept., etc. Hope to be able to compile a list for every state.

Sorry, don't mean to hijack thread. Carry on everyone.

I'll shoot you a PM, because I've some ideas of how we can organize it. Will definitely need participation from everyone.

Welcome SG. Your reviews are extremely thorough and entertaining.
This is becoming a who’s who of YouTube car reviewers. Now we need Alex on Autos and Soyfan Bey and Doug Demuro and TFL.?

We drove the manual version. We worked with Dan P, had engineering support, including help from Japan for all the technical pieces.

Im not sure how many media/YT actively monitor forums anymore? This car is a special case however.

Anything regarding the suspension geometry changes and perhaps most importantly, can it dial in some meaningful camber?

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say when the embargo lifts (I'll ask), but for those that are anxiously waiting, just wanted to give a little vague reassurance that you won't have to wait too much longer. I can also confirm that the embargo only covers pricing and driving impressions, so everything else will be fair game to post as soon as the media gets to the event. The good news is that we will have pricing to include in our reviews at least.

Oh snap, Matt Maran is on here???? NICE.

" Just an FYI the full video was supposed to be out early but will be released on embargo date of May 16th with everyone else. However, it will be a complete video, not a half assed click bait effort for views. "

5/16 embargo lift

Just one more month bro.

 

[jose3030]

Agreed. And I'm first on list of largest dealer in my state !!

Top 3 here, let's hope I get lucky.

Its the Z34 platform incrementally updated. The biggest change is all the little changes all over, including kinematics etc. We will have all those details in video. If you modded the hell out of a 370 you may feel like many things on new car are not a huge deal but again all of the major and minor things really added up here.

We could not do an alignment obviously to see how much adjustability was there. But some older 370Z parts will likely fit while others won't.

My recommendation to be 100% honest is if you are on the fence with the manual car given this climate is to get an allocation now or place an order before the media sh*tstorm really starts. This forum is for the enthusiasts, and if you are here you likely are passionate about the car. Im almost positive its gonna be hard to get once all the non Z buyers bandwagon to get one.
