All-new 2023 Nissan Z makes world debut!

[Rocksandblues]

Like I give a shit about these sorts of silhouette car racing series. Nissan right now basically haven't got any good results in the miniscule amount of production car based racing that they're participating. Whatever they're able to achieve in Super GT has no relation to their production car side. TL;DR they suck while pretending they don't suck.

I don’t disagree with that. But only wanted to
Point out the fallacy of any race car really adhering to what can be bought at dealerships

Yeah sure, a silhouette race car that sort of looks like a production car but has barely any proper relationships with the production car at all.

Basically just marketing BS to make people think Nissan is still cool (lol) and none of their development in that racing series will be transferred over to the road car.

They also have a GT4 car, same as the Supra GT4. Much closer to a road car.

You suck at the internet

I really do! Good find

Marketing money wise, I definitely don’t get that feel. On track or anywhere else. I would have never thought Toyota would have released production versions that they actually endorse owners to track . Throw in a free track day, multiple starter series and two cars you can purchase to start amateur racing (full press releases, series to run in, etc.)

Actually reminds me of Nissan way back when they were doing this sort of thing. Just seems like they’ve lost that focus, so to speak, and Toyota is jumping in head 1st. 10 years ago, I woulda never thought seeing Toyotas (in these kind of numbers) at my local track…

So true man. I was actually looking up the damn rental car we had on vacation on the Mazda site yesterday. Saw what I wanted and clicked a few more links:

Definitely not at their dealership but they’re all in. I love that Mazda is still doing their thang. You can even feel it in that plus sized CX-90 we rented.

Their auto trans also sucks so that will only add to the complaints. It's not even in the same league as a zf8.

Bad auto trans = no fun to drive.

Good auto trans = yes please.

Well some of us just refuse to drive autos. And not offering a manual on the NISMO just adds insult to injury.

That‘s ~ $67k USD. Sounds about right for their mac daddy top of the line version?

It’s $66k USD for the 2024 anniversary edition of the Supra. Not sure what the Supra sells for up there

But let’s be real I see used used premium trim Z still asking 55K and that’s going to be outrageous when it comes to the nismo

Supra is 72k brand new premium in canadian. Which is about right. We don't sell base models, all are premiums I think, some were the CF edition, very hard to find though.

A Nissan Z when it came out were 65k+ here due to mark ups. Now they're selling for 50-55k brand new or lightly used.

Damn I love being wrong:
