My guess is 80-90k.

I beg to differ sir, I just got a barn find oem turbo supra that runs and drives for

I think it will be priced in the lower to mid 40s. Ask Andrew he still hates me for it.

To be fair, he was referencing the then-new MSRP of the 1998 Supra adjusted for inflation, which makes it a nearly $70k car in today's dollars. Not what a 16 year old used examples sells for. How could that be used to estimate the new model's MSRP?

Or did I miss the sarcasm font?

well then if we're going to go by that example then the Z should be even more expensive seeing as the 300zx turbo was going for $50k before they stopped production, so by all accounts the 370 should be in the $100k ballpark going off inflation

I expect some the areo will be lost in translation -- but that's okay. This belongs in the Z range of price, not the GT-R.

Hell, the LF-A doesn't exactly run rings around the GT-R, and it costs 5 times as much.

I'm hoping Toyota will keep this as a Nissan Z fighter -- and I for one would certainly strongly consider it as an alternative.

And as a bonus

Well, $50k in 1996 is approximately $72k adjusted to today's dollars, so using that logic the 370Z would be $70k, too, not sure where the $100k comes from.

Look, I didn't say it was an infallible method, I was just explaining his logic - this example happens to come with a significant currency valuation overprint as the yen reached a peak against the dollar in 1995. This is what really caused the low-volume Japanese car price hike in the mid-90s.

Otherwise, for domestic goods, car prices have been fairly well behaved, although they have risen slightly compared to inflation. For example, my dad purchased a new base Camaro in 1972 for about $3500, IIRC. In today's dollars that's about $19k. A base Camaro today stickers for $24 (invoice $22.6k) but you get a whole lot more car for the $3 to $5k increase.

I'll take a pound of that cheese.

And the ENTIRE outer lines of the cockpit AND the hood line of the Nismo! Take a side view and see for yourself. Basically they took the entire upper lines of the Nismo (minus the rear) and planted it on that thing.

And I'm not faulting you for it either, just merely reinforcing what you already said which is to say it's pointless comparing the old model to the potentially new one

I guess it was thrown out there, and accomplished its main purpose.....Getting people to say "Toyota"

They will make run with an frs engine.

So what, instead of working with Subaru they started working with Alfa Romeo?

forza370z · 01-15-2014, 12:44 AM

It's already in the GT6. This is how much it will cost probably. No a 370z price range, not a gtr price range. Not even close... It's similar to a LF-A. Lol
