[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

triso07

You honestly think a 3100lb 400hp DCT Brembo Brake Recaro seat optioned Z should cost more than 46k?

The base Cayman comes in around 52k.

triso07

Not to mention the fact that Nissan could easily sell a stripper version of that car without the options in the low 30s with a 300hp turbo motor.

I think your expectations are too low and not based off the current climate of the market.

FPenvy

Stripper version? Hell yeah! I'll take 2.

You give me a new good looking Z with 400hp 3.0tt, good interior, and good weight then I have no problem paying 45-55k for it.

Sticker on my 09 was 43k I think.

Hell im currently teasing the idea of spending 55-60k on a ZL1 lol maybe even a guilia after the first year hype dies.

Ricer you need to relax with your specific cost figures. I'm generalizing clearly.

Also, do you guys work for Nissan? You seem to know a lot about their business and what is or is not cost prohibitive.

What **** are you trying to talk about the Evo exactly? The car has AWD, a great suspension and braking system, Recaro seats, and a DCT for under 40k and came with around 300hp stock (go ahead and correct me here Ricer about the exact HP/Torque figure, since I know the 5hp will make all the difference to you). That was in 2008.

Somehow what I listed is unreasonable super car territory to a few of you lol.

RicerX

LOL. The Evo is irrelevant, chief. It's not in production anymore. Criticisms aside, the 370Z still is.

Care to give me your best generalization as to why you think that is?

Sure "chief":

- It has a design that is somewhat childish and lacks appeal beyond a certain demographic.

- It's based on a lancer and unless you're a car nerd it's viewed as one.

- Said crappy interior. The design is nice and simple, but there's hard plastic everywhere. MR is way better than the GSR. I was shocked by how appalling the GSR interior is.

- Same issue as the Z in so far as it started getting left behind in performance capabilities (stock form of course) and the market place for fun sporty cars became a lot more competitive. Mitsu, like Nissan, essentially abandoned the car and didn't iterate to keep up, leaving people to go elsewhere.

I'm fairly certain the reason it didn't sell well is NOT because it had things like brembos, recaros, DCTs, etc.

Nithmo

And no one bought the evo, so they eventually killed it off. True story. Also, worst car interior of life in that thing. No wonder no one bought it.

Also, none of the other cars listed come in anywhere near 3000-3100 pounds. Just saying.
