All-new 2023 Nissan Z makes world debut!

Ahh. Dry weight. There you go. Add 200-250lbs to that to compare weight with Supra. GM did the same thing with the new C8. They published the dry weight and people tried comparing that to cars that listed the curb weight with fluids.

Yes sir. I did some sloppy calculation.

Dry Weight = 3,252lbs
19 gallon of gas = 114lbs
5 quarts of motor oil = 9.7lbs
Brake fluid = 1lbs
Windshield Washer cleaner = 8lbs
MT fluid = 6.2 lbs
Radiator fluid = 19 lbs

3410 lbs (rounding up)

If the base Z is only $34k msrp. It will put the Civic Type R out of business. Lol

Yeah I don't see the car starting anything less than $38k. $40k is probably a good guess.

My guess at this point is the Sport will be 38,999-39,999 and the Performance will be 44,999-45,999. The limited Proto version I have no clue, and at 240 units, I don't care. The (hopefully) forthcoming Nismo will probably be low 50's, still undercutting the Supra.


Weight? 3500ish, but bfd either way. All things considered, 100lbs here or there, wutev..

My guess is that if it does start at $38k base, add on another $1k for shipping and delivery fee.

I agree but unfortunately that’s not how the Internet and social media works lol. Almost all the YouTubers are labeling the videos “New Z is here, RIP Supra” or something similar. I watched Raiti’s ride talk his ishh about the Supra during his first look at the Z.

I get that a lot of them have click bait titles but watching this one for example they are Z fan boys but still remain some what moderate at the same time.

This guy bashes the Supra so much…

So getting back on topic. It's good to see for the most part that everyone is having a good discussion. Post whatever you guys like, just don't break any rules and no personal attacks.

My take on this whole Z vs Supra topic. Looks are subjective, to some it's pick your poison. Performance and value wise, I'll hold off judgement until we have more info and some head to head comparison test.

Carry on gents.

I like the new Z, but come one with that front end! What were they thinking?



Warning! This picture may offend sensitive people, so don't look if you are offended easily.

That transmission will be the make or break of this car I think. No pun intended, hopefully.

it sucks?

Of course, I'm kidding, I actually like the car quite a bit. I can't wait to see what people do to theirs.

There are probably some short cuts, many on the interior, but we'll know more when we see it. Has there been an official MSRP announcement about it? I haven't been paying close attention, but this could be some 44,999 or 49,999 shit.

It has not, but they have said the base model will be less than the 2.0 Supra.

Now to wait and see what the Mazda 3.3L Inline 6 RWD platform will produce. Am I dreaming, or was there a rumor going around saying that this would also be the new platform for an upcoming Toyota car as well?
