Parts you'd probably swap: LSD, all 4 tires, at least a front brake kit, coilovers, wheels(?) -- if you insist on forged wheels, especially JDM brands, that's at least $3.5k alone.

WIthout wheels, maybe, but it seems like a stretch.

This is assuming you're buying new parts, not used.
The LSD alone is around $3k lol. Installing an LSD is an intense job. Bembro/wilwood (front) caliper kits are around +2k alone not including front rotors. You already +5k. The Sport trim doesn't have SynchroRev Match. You will also need to tune if you want to have launch control. Hopefully the it doesnt take too long for someone to unlock the ECU.

It is more than leather seats and sound system. The performance trim offers bigger brakes/calipers, bigger tires, LSD, bigger touchscreen, Alcantara, etc. This is the reason why I'm going after the performance package.
Mostly I'd only care about the rear spoiler and LSD. The spoiler I could install myself. The LSD maybe down the road, in the mean time enjoying the vehicle, with extra 10k on hand.

How many people are even driving hard enough they legit need larger brakes? I'd be fine with no touch screen at all. And I nearly always end up installing my own sound system in vehicles. In a Z, I'd be removing that spare tire located sub and all that foam blocking anyway, for the rear cargo space mod.

In my view, 41k buys the main thing - a manual trans Z at 400hp to drive around and have fun. (Well, assuming any dealer will legit sell a Z for 41k msrp in a reasonable timeframe.)

I'm in the minority but here's my take, base Sport has the main stuff, engine, chassis, not loaded with extra electronics, pricing at $40K is still a great deal. Even if I end up going over $10k on BETTER upgrades than what Nissan offers on the Performance, I'm way ahead of the game. Stock Performance has: 6/2 Akebonos, exact same as on the Nismo 370Z, good but not best, still don't completely trust them, Bridgestones are meh, synchro rev-match I can do without, can heel-toe myself, bigger screen so what, spoiler too tiny, Rays are nice but almost everyone will roll on them.

I want vendors to step up for: coilovers/shocks, BBS, Recaros, Quaife/OS Giken, wheels, tires (GY F1 3R, Sport Cup 2s, etc), suspension bits like sways, links, better aero stuff, etc etc.

Sorry I'm not preaching to the choir of most buyers here, but that Sport is looking better each day, esp with the $10K upcharge for Performance. It will be an awesome build, possibly lighter too! Believe me I'm looking into all this, it's more exciting to customize than Nissan's Performance pkg, for my use šŸ‘ .

I know damn well I have no shot at getting one this year. Dealer markups and availability is going to be insane around here. My local dealership emails me all the time about other crap...but when it comes to the Z.....crickets lmao. I'm going to try but I know how this is going to end. Plan b and revisit this depending on how this pans out.

Not quite the same number of votes (yet), but getting close - 9 months and pricing info makes a significant difference:

I'm still on my same opinion (I could end up waiting to see if they bring a package with just the go-fast stuff, at which point there shouldn't be supply issues either) as my ND2 is fine for now, even if the waiting is another year or two (or three).

Are you the same guy that posted in the Facebook group? Iā€™m in St Pete and Crown Nissan here has been fairly communicative and knowledgeable. They basically said theyā€™ll reach out to everyone on the list once they get official allocations. Itā€™s worth reaching out... But I was 3rd on the list and I called them February of 2021.

That's what I did when I purchased my '17 Base 370. People thought it was a Nismo. But now I really don't have the time to be swaping all that. I would only swap the tires with the ones on the picture, and lower it on BC coilovers, test pipes and exhaust.

I figured as much, and most people here wouldn't be doing all that themselves, so labor will easily drive that to 5 figures; I hadn't factored that in at all.
