What will stop you from owning the new Z?

[Raven1]

Nothing will stop me from owning a new Zee, not even death - gonna walk that shit off after they play 'Insomnia' at my funeral - then I'm going to head over to the stealership and cop that Zee . . .

Well apparently it's possible to go clubbing after death, so why not also drive in a Z.

this "long delayed launch" has stopped me from owning a Z
And no limited diff on base model also has pushed me over to a GR86......

I am done for the track, so I don't need the performance package.
I just want a square setup that is still fun on the street all year around. The base trim + limited diff would be perfect....

maybe they will make it in few years....

Ambient interior lighting and... that could be it!

I've got a sunroof in my MB now... but I can forget that for a year or two.

Hmmm…I’m starting to feel like the Z never actually getting released will prevent me from owning it.

Just got some new kicks and now I cant afford the Z anymore

^ You should take them back for a refund - they've got oil stains all over them from the manufacturing machines.

Already mentioned but markups. I began to clear out garage space the day of the reveal.
The Z was supposed to be my midlife crisis. Then crazy markups started to happen everywhere and I refuse to pay them

so I impulsively bought an 8000 mile 1997 Porsche Boxster in the original launch colors because at worst I drive it and break even should I ever sell it.

If you sell it through bringatrailer.com you'll probably make money.

Just kidding. My neighbor collect retro Nike and Jordans worth $100K+ ... We were talking about collecting cars and he busted out saying his collection of Nike shoes worth more than some Ferrari. I mean, the last pair of tennis shoes I bought were from Wal-Mart so yeah... crazy!!!! I thought a pair of Jordan 11 for $400-500 is expensive... lol

I used to do shoes back in the day too, stopped after the Red Octobers dropped.

So what you're saying is, you gave up the Hunt...for Red October?

I'll show myself out.

Hey I hope you are enjoying it! Best steering and road feel I’ve ever had. Beat my 370 hands down. Great analogue car. What did you pick it up for?

 

[jose3030]

honestly? to answer the question? dealer added markups.
If they get super crazy, I'm out.

For me it will be the relative price point to the other two options I am considering.

Based on the tech and performance it needs to be a reasonable amount below the Supra, and around or below the Mustang GT/CS price here in Oz.

I had a 260z Coupe when younger, so have a soft spot for this model, as I wasn't a fan of the look of the 350 or 370. However, the Mustang in Australia will have good resale into 2023/24, Supra maybe less now Toyota has announced Gen 2, and that buys time to see what gets improved in Gen 2 Z / Nismo / real world reviews and experience on tuning etc.

But who am I kidding, cars are a passion and it's easier to write logically, then to think logically when I get that VIN call...
