Thinking about getting back into a Z

[Fanatic]

So I used to have a 23 Nissan z performance 6-speed manual and also a 24 Nissan z nismo. I parted ways with both of them and got into the Corvette c8 game and then eventually got into the c8 ZO6. I really like the Z06 and I'm planning to keep it for a while. Being a car guy I can't get rid of the itch and I always try to keep a lookout on new cars and maybe some deals and I see dealers are moving much more assertively than when the Z first came out. On a new 2025 sport 6mt, the dealer is doing about 46 including tax/fees and 6.9 APR and then I see they're doing around low 50s including taxes/fees for a 24 performance 6mt version with 2.9 APR. I was thinking about going with the sport version to have no frills and something a little more basic but I realize that it does not have the LSD and some of the other enhanced performance goodies and I actually wouldn't be modifying this vehicle so I'm just wondering what your thoughts would be. Trying to go for manual transmission. I wasn't as happy with the nismo z because it's not as crisp to shift like a dct and not as satisfying for some reason along with the high price tag despite the 10K discounts going on I suppose. I did check out and test drive a new Supra 6-speed manual transmission but I didn't like it as much for some reason.

This is a duplicate second thread because I was unsure which would get more traction or responses but it turns out more folks look at the main Nissan z sub forum section which the other thread is posted similarly to this. As soon as of the thread gained traction and started to get all the responses and this one was left in the cold, I had requested to delete this thread but it's still here so no biggie.

Lucky for the GM of the dealer. It looks like he may be a car guy if he ordered this many Nissan Zs. Looks like he's making a lot of money because he seems like a go big or go home type of personality with this much inventory.

Good luck with checking them out once you visit the Arlington area.

Good idea, I've reported the other thread and made a request to merge the threads.
