i know personally im dying for a daily driver that is 4 cyl, rwd, turbo and i will barely touch...oh and that is 100% SMOG LEGAL!!!!

when that new S chassis hits in 2010...i know i wont be doing a whole lot to the car until its completely paid off...but it will be awesome to buy it brand new, take care of it and baby it and know that no one else has ever beat the mess outta the car

building old s chassis is fun and all...but theyre honestly getting TOO old and turning into more of a "restoration project" than an actual "race car" when you build them...i know my current S13 is prolly the LAST s chassis im going to build for a VERY long time simply because id love something newer and a bit more up to date as far as electronics, stock engine management and chassis age go

buy a 2010 370z for 40k after taxes and fees and bs.... then spend another 20k to make it turbo and perform as good if not slightly better than the GTR....

then spend another 20k in the life of the loan on the car or 5 years, replacing blocks and rear ends and replacing other shit that is no longer warrantied because of engine modification.

at that point your already spending about 80k and thats about what the GTR has been selling in San Diego.

with that school of thought, why would people have bought corvettes, when they could easily mod a camaro or trans am?

corvette sales sure didnt suffer!

exactly, though GM did under rate the camaro engine by just enough to make the corvette look better

Eh. My arguement fails, I was under the impression GTRs were 100k+

I will admit defeat. I just want to find a nice rwd vehicle for 30k or less brand new.

***Future240*** · 10-29-2008, 10:48 AM

The interior looks a bit plasticky imo, the orange is ugo too, but I will assume you will have several options to choose from.

well it does depend on where you buy it, initially though the upsell on the GT-R was 60-70k thus selling for 140-150k, but i was at Mossy Nissan in Poway CA and they just sold a black/black GT-R for 83k

Stay tuned. The whole reason the Z is being moved up market is to make more room for the new SX.

Just looking at how things should work out now, the SX will probably start around $20k for a base 4 cyl, probably no-turbo, stripped version. I'm expecting the same type of trim levels on the SX that are available on the Z. So say for a Grand Touring turbo model to have LSD, Nav, etc and top out in the low $30's. Like $31/$32 max. Any more then that and it'll be too big for it's britches.

Me personally I'd be HAPPY as penis in vagina with a Enthusiast Turbo model, with ONLY LSD and Brembo's (if they are availible), for $25. That is my sweet spot.

UfoZ8myCow · 10-29-2008, 11:48 AM

Meh... Ill stick to my old plan of picking up a Z33 with brembos and 6MT and just add on suspension, exhaust, navi, and some nice ass wheels and call it a day for daily driving. This new thing just looks weird from the outside. The inside is nicer than Z33s by far though.

murda-c · 10-29-2008, 11:49 AM

I wanna know how much the thing weighs.

Here you go. I'm sure this is a repost as it is from August.

What worries me is the Variable Compression Ratio, what will happen if you want to throw on a bigger turbo and up the boost?

YoungGun · 10-29-2008, 12:08 PM

UGHHHH disgusting.

Whats up with the little pointed sheetmetal going into the tail/headlights.

WTF were they thinking?

It's supposed to be hundreds of lbs lighter then the Z33.

Fries · 10-29-2008, 12:22 PM

Shorter car with a wider wheel base right?

That is correct. Shorter by like 2" and wider by about that much too I believe. Don't quote me on the exact numbers though.

On2 · 10-29-2008, 12:31 PM

I didn't like the Maxima headlights either till I saw it in person. I'll reserve judgement for when I see it in person. Headlights look fine on this one though; taillights on the other hand...

I do however like the more retro-look, more 240Z-like.

It has FANGS!

Z33dori · 10-29-2008, 12:51 PM

The roof line of the Old school Zs -i like
the front looks like a fish - not so much
and the rear end looks like porsche -why

to me they just don't combine together.....

and the interior ... whole diff story...

i have to keep my self with the Z33...

its a fake...that has already been covered...if you see any of mine, exitspeeds or driftfreaqs comments or ramblings...please go about 10-15 pages back in the 2010 silvia thread and read what we have covered as all 3 of us are all over that car like rice on hondas

the original of that picture came from bestcar magazine...7tune then posted it on their old site and then magazines like road and crap (track i mean) got a hold of it and photoshopped it to look real...following nissans current design trends...that photoshopped image doesnt hold a grain of salt really

stiizy · 10-29-2008, 02:36 PM

Doesn't look bad i'd get one.......
