Also consider that the Supra has a few years of documented reliability/issues. You basically know what you’re walking into.

Even if you manage to get into a Z without paying a crazy premium, you’re looking at a first year model which could be stout or a major headache.

I remember some shop swapped a VR30 into a 370z, and their major concern and issue was cooling. While I’m sure Nissan sorted that out for stock power levels, we have no indication if the cooling is adequate for mild tuning let alone track use.

If you plan on tuning/tracking, you have to decide whether getting the new shiny thing is worth being the guinea pig.

It just looks alright to me. Not anything ground breaking or anything but for $40k you get what you pay for.

I was a 370z owner for 8 years.. bought new. I could not love the car.. just a load of compromises and MT wasn't all that great on the car with junk CSC, lagging throttle response, dumb pickup truck side mirrors. Besides that the car was nice to look at. Not sure what Nissan did on the 400Z but it is so buttugly.. sorry Domokun.

Wow so a Supra 3.0 is about 202 lbs lighter when compared to a Z with similar trim features( 3.0 Premium 3400 lbs vs Performance Auto 3602). Also the front to rear balance favors the Supra(52/48) vs (57/43 manual Z)/(57/43 auto Z). A manual Supra 3.0 should be (51/49) if the gearbox is 50-60 lbs lighter.

Most of the new weight is obviously on the front of the new Z which sucks.

Man I really hate the front end. Can’t wait to see it in person and check it out though.

If the Japan pricing is close that means 47k for an S trim Z which is when you actually get a LSD. They’re touting that it’s considerably more power (which it is) but you have to spend the additional 7k to get the LSD.

If you just want hp/$ buy a dodge and shortcut all this faux sports car crap. My husband had a challenger for many years and we really enjoyed it.
