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

UNKNOWN_370

It really depends what's in the packaging of the car.

The 1SS CAMARO will be close to $38,000 and the 2SS close $42,000. Throw in a $800 dual mode exhaust and you get 460hp for that money and a 4second car that weighs 3,600lbs. Very light for the performance.

If the Z was 3,000lbs even, 380hp v6TT with as many tech features as the new Camaro. I can see that starting at $40,000 even. With a 2+2 option a la Z32 for $43,000. I think it will sell.
Make a NISMO version, with the Mercedes speed shift DCT, 440hp and a weight of 3100lbs, for $50,000 loaded? I think it will sell.
Nissan and Mercedes already said any pure sports entries into the market will have hydraulic rack and pinion steering. Giving Nissan/Mercedes the edge of being drivers cars as they will be the ONLY modern production sports cars to give drivers REAL FEEDBACK outside of Alfa.

The C63S sedan beat out the M4 and ATS-V as being the best drivers car of the sport sedan segment. Bringing the feedback into cars again will be worth the extra coin.

The AMG GTS also being touted as one of the best drivers cars outside of the Alfa 4c. Nissan just needs to execute it perfectly...
