If the next Nismo Z is going to be near 480hp like the rumors have stated, it will be a great alternative to the C8. The C8 doesn't have a manual available and I don't care that much for the looks. The interior is nice but a little too overdone. I don't care for the buttress with the row of buttons on it, which blocks access to rubbing your girlfriend's leg while driving, LOL. Nissan will be able to keep the price down by not having to spend money developing an engine- they already have it, and they are just going to update the 370's chassis, thereby saving more money.

That’s not it. Parts are correct but it’s been stylized. Can’t see them putting fake (and ugly) vents on a car they made so classic looking. Look at the actual pictures. There are some that have been lighten enough to see pretty clearly.

it's 2020 (or 2021/22 model) and everything has a DCT option now. i know before it was their way of separating the Z and GTR but it's no longer a rare thing like it semi-was in 2008/2009. if it doesnt have a DCT i may pass. it'll have to be extremely sexy to be a 2021/22 model car without a DCT to convince me to buy it. if it's ugly with a DCT.......i may still get it because i know what it will be capable of.

FWIW, the rear of that magazine scan does not match the silhouette

So I have time to see what the Z35 turns into. As someone mentioned having a manual is a huge bonus. It was an internal struggle to know I'd be giving up a manual as my current Z06 is manual. But I figured I still have my 280z 5 speed so I wouldn't be 100% out. So if the Z35 Nismo has the right power to price ratio and a manual then I'd gladly take it over the C8

MSRP. Considering before COVID hit there was speculation that 2021 was going to get a price increase, paying MSRP for a 2020 made sense. However now there is no price increase for 2021 because COVID delayed production. Doesn't mean 2022 wont. With everything going on you wont get a C8 under MSRP for several years. Demand for the car is too high.

Supras over $50K don't even have a DCT. Conventional autos are becoming so good that the lack of DCT isn't that big of a deal. Would add too much to the cost and Nissan is not going to spend the money on developing a DCT for the Z.
