What will stop you from owning the new Z?

[94boosted]

1)Price, if the prices go into the fifties the Supra and Z4 are a strong alternative, even a pre owned Cayman or Boxster and if it gets close to the sixties I rather buy a new Corvette C8 or lightly optioned Cayman. For just a few thousand dlls extra.
The Z is beautifully designed and with 400 HP a serious sports car, but what makes it so far my first choice is the price advantage, which has to be around 15 thousand under a base C8 or Cayman which can be purchased for just over 60K
2)bad reviews after it gets road tested.

Good luck with that, trust me I've been trying to get a C8 for over a year. There's no way you're getting a C8 anywhere near it's base price MSRP.

#1 Price: I work in the dealership world and I understand mark ups in this time. The dealers do not have inventory so they are trying to make up for it in every car they sell. But I will not be fooled into buying this car for more than 10% of the sticker price. I have seen dealers selling the new Supra for $20K over sticker and some poor guy does buy it. if that is the case I will just save my coin and get a Cayman.

#2 Nismo: if word comes out that there will be a Nismo edition then I will hold off until I can see if it will be worth the extra charge or if it will just be a body kit and some nice wheels.

#3 Drive: if it looks nice but drives like an Armada then I will have to pass. I plan to change suspension later on for track use but I do not want to do it right away to fix the way the car drives from the factory. The Supra and Mustang drive great off the lot and only need some tweaks to make them good track cars.

I’ve got 3 c8 all at msrp. It take s awhile to wait for your turn on the list but it’s doable. I expect used c8s to sell for a little under msrp once the zo6 comes out this year. Imo the c8 is light years ahead of a boxter / cayman. Little better than the Supra even. Plus it’s worth mentioning that the z4 is a bit more expensive than the Supra. @Salito

I’m here for just NISMO news. I’d probably pick one up if they are good modding platforms. But if this base Z is in the 50s then there will be a lot of people dropping out. You could get a slightly used Jaguar F-Type S or used R for that price. But personally I’d probably rather get a Shelby 350 if we are going to that price (because I already own a Supra).


I expect to pay about 55k for my NISMO. It shouldn’t be anywhere near a used GTR price, I hope

That is what I am thinking. Anything over $60K and you start pushing into used GTR and Porsche territory. And with the way the used car market is looking we will be seeing a crash either the end of the year or early next year.

My local dealership (the one that moves the most vette's) has over 200 people on the list for a base C8 and over 60 people on the list for a Z06. It's absolute chaos trying to get a C8.

Doesn't help when they keep being destroyed in disasters…I wouldn’t buy a C8, not because I don’t like it…but because I’m worried that they are cursed ??

? we'll let it live on through your quote. It's not the worst thing I've seen posted here. There are some that I couldn't fix if I wanted to, and they aren't even from a different quadrant.
