If a recession hit, you'll be reading about what they're doing with Z's in Japan vs owning one and doing it yourself. Changing subject... How Nissan can make a $60K Z? This is how!! Nissan SPECIFICALLY stated they want to make a lighter car specifically reminiscent of the original 240z. So if anything was to fall through the cracks in rumors or speculations. It would be likely the z would be a 4banger only and would start under $30k. The next Z if I speculated. The 4 banger will be between 2,800-2,900lbs. n the turbo 6 if they even make it would be 3,000-3,100lbs... Let's say they build a topline, Nismo is 450HP, it would most likely be the model that is 3,100lbs. It would have a 6.8lb power to weight ratio vs the corvettes 7.3. So if we're trumping up numbers of the top of our head. The Z would would win. Especially if the Z remains, hydraulic with a handbrake. The corvette would quickly become obsolete. It would be the most driver focused car because it will be the only analog car with a personality. While all the others will have numb electric steering.

For one you are NOT my bro, and two I did not realize they would advertise an LFA with a Toyota badge and Supra on the plate. Thanks for trying though, peace.

In any case I only posted them together as I saw a lot of design similarities between that one and the Z rendering directly above it. Last edited by ChaseZ; 07-15-2016 at 11:09 PM. |

my next car will probably be a z35, supra or if I want something a bit more 'luxury', a q60 (possibly used)

The clickbait garbage article about the turbo hybrid powertrain $60K 2017 Z in the OP of the other thread must have fooled them and they are too stubborn to admit they were wrong.
I won't be too stubborn to admit I was wrong when Nissan comes out with a $60K Z, but I am pretty sure I won't have to because Nissan is not so stupid as to price the Z high enough to make the competition that much more attractive. |

I have to agree with you on this one. The "next supra" is a highly anticipated car (and of course we don't know when this is coming) the Z35 will happen as Nissan already said there will be a new Z and new GTR. It's just a matter of waiting.

Problem here is everyone wants to believe the Z can't go upmarket when in fact it can if they make an affordable 4 banger for the whiners and a high powered premium handling car for the winners. They corner the market by offering to the successful and the broke azz alike. Just like CAMARO & MUSTANG DO! I don't see why some of you complicate these concepts so much.
