Well ya I might be a bit biased but that comes from being a former 350z owner that had nothing but problems with the car.
And I think you meant Z33 not Z35. The 370 uses a lot of the same parts as a 350 which was the joke to my joke. You would basically be buying a new 20 year old car.
Dont get me wrong, I am glad it came out but I am not expecting it to be that good of a car.
There will always be bad lemons in any auto group. The car would have been interesting 20 years ago with a twin turbo. There is really no comparison with the new Z from a car 20 years ago other then a chassis designation.
Sure if you call 0.2 sec and 1 mph trap not keeping up.
Even Jason said the Z on Bridgestones were traction limiting.
I say swap on Michellins and double your money bet.
May be joining the crowd. I found:
2021 with 3100mi for $53k
2020 with 23k mi for $56k
2021 with 1125mi for $63k
I'm not really looking to tune the car, so guessing '21 or later is the way to go. I *might* consider tuning *if* it's as simple as swapping ECUs and I don't have to swap any parts that are a PITA to change out. I'd like to leave the powertrain alone, if possible. I guess I need to go back and read all eleventy billion posts in this and other threads
Swap cat to a high flow and add a jb4 piggy back. Done. Not the best route but it is the cheapest. And yes, if you just want to tune the car for more power, no sensor swap needed. Clone the ecu though. Ca be on tune lockdown! Don't chance it.

Not interested in the manual? Since you are happy with stock power, seems like you aren’t in it for max (min) lap times.

Not setting track records, but I would still like to go as fast as I can with the lower power levels. I like beating quote faster cars quote.
I am assuming the manual transmission equipped cars will be even more expensive.

I’m sure they will be more because they will be brand new, but they will also likely depreciate slower. Also, by the time they arrive, we will be deep in recession and they will probably be just sitting on lots underselling the new Z (because the Z is all new, except the chassis, etc).

I'm not the expert, but from everything I've read the '21 or later models would be the way to go.
I'm curious: Have you called around to dealerships and out-of-state dealers to get on waiting lists? I'm wondering how long we'll be seeing high ADMs on these cars as the economy slows down a bit.

Longo Toyota is your friend. A bit of a drive for you though.
I called last time you mentioned them. They had none in stock. I offered to put down a deposit on a new one at MSRP. The guy said he "can't promise anything". That was the end of the conversation.

Wow... thats just sad. Did you get in contact with my broker? He just got me a msrp deal through longo on my soon to be 86. You want me to ask him for you?
