Who's buyin ?

Alright, lets here it. Lets assume the new Z will be at least close to what we have all seen. Who plans on a purchase. What color would you like to see offered. Who plans to wait for the roadster?

I might when I get my inheritence if it makes enough % in the mutual fund I put it in :D I don't recieve it till aug 2003 just in time though if there is gonna be a roadster I'll sure pop the big whatever for it. Does anyone know if and when they plan to release one and what it might consist of not that a 6 speed 3.5 won't satisfiy my hunger but twin turbos would be a must if offered.

Nissan does have plans to build a roadster version of the new Z. It'll be released about the same time as the coupe version, and it'll probably have the 6 speed 3.5 or the auto 3.5, just like the coupe.

If Nissan can live up to keeping the price at 30k or less and at least 260hp I am definitely getting a coupe version. I'd like to see a midnight blue color or a dark silver/gray color (similar to the S2000 gray color)

If I had the cash, I'd buy a bright red coupe without a moment of hesitation. Unfortunately I'm only 16 and don't have that kinda money. :( I think I'll be sticking with my good old '87 Nissan Stanza until I can afford a used 6th generation Celica.

I'll take it in a metallic color red/black/grey. Which ever color it comes in.

It'll most likely come in those colors. The grey might be more of a silver color though.

I'd love to have one . . . I'd like it in the Maxima color: Sterling Mist, or in that Xterra color: Denim Blue . . . or something like that

I'm not a fan of light colored cars. I want one in a deep dark color that has a heavy metallic reflection in the light. I want the reflection to really stick out on those sweet curves. But yes, as soon as it comes in I'm selling my 2001 Eclipse GT and getting a real car. ;)

Im planning on getting the Silver one....... CANT WAIT GUYS!!! :D

Information on the rummer mill has me very excited about the Z from an enthusiast side. One only has to conclude that the new Z will produce about 300 or more hp as a normaly asperated verson with resionable torque, and will be lighter than the current Z32 model. The 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 is rated at 240 hp & 246 ft/lbs and the up comming Maxima 3.5 rated at a rumored 260 - 280 hp, points to these numbers. Additionaly, my local Nissan dealer's owner has mentioned that Nissan is working on a forced induction version for 2003 or 4. Type of induction is still unknown. With this information in mind I'd surly like to buy one. However, one problem remains, GREED! I'm hearing the buzz that Nissan dealers are already planning on a mark up of at least 5k for the new Z. I'm so sick of dealers marking up every new car that makes a statement. It seems that markups are all the rave here in So. Cal, hell they even mark up mini vans, Honda Oddisy anyone. Well, I'll probably wait a couple of years to let the greed subside as I will not pay a markup on a massproduced vehicle. My current Z32 is just fine thank you!

Just let me tell you one thing, the first thing I am doing after graduating college is taking myself to a nissan dealer in my trusty 240sx and buying a brand new Z. If they have the turbo version available, I'm getting the turbo but either way I am getting a new Z straight out of college.

I appologize in advance but I just find them hideous.
I would much rather buy a used skyline for 35$(r32)
The new style is no style, just a couple of windows on a big oval
with a big smily face bumper:D

Do you live in Europe or Asia? Here in the U.S. I'm almost positive that you wouldn't be able to find a used Skyline at all. Igor would know, but I think there are less than 10 Skylines in the U.S.

Man, i'm in. I'm buyin. I'm going to hold out for convertible form, either in silver or black. I'd like to finally get away from taking care of a black car, but it may look really sweet - tough to pass up...

There is a used gtst on yahoo autos listings in florida for 6000$ 1991 with 54000 miles. I believe there was a gtr for sale last month but it was in the 50K+ range.
here is the link for yahoo

They are out there you just cant blink or they dissappear.

There is a car out there for everyone. I want a Skyline, but till Nissan brings a model of the Sklyine that I like. Make mine a Z TT:devil:

My Dad has always been a Z lover (drives a 280Z) and he hates the new concept. I can't wait to get me the new Z, drive down to Vegas and blow the doors off his little "Maribelle":finger:

I am sure there is more than 10 skylines. I have seen 5 on ebay, 3 on duPont, all non-Motorex offerings (usually Military, AF, Navy, you get the idea..), and then you add in Motorex and dun dun dun you have more than 10.

Yep, I was way off on that one. :) They're still very very rare cars in the U.S. though. Doesn't it cost something like $90,000 to import a new R34 to the US?

Yup $90K+ depending on condition when you import it through MotoRex. Hurts to pay that much for a "used" $50K car, but they need to recoupe their investment and at least they are proving to Nissan that there is a market for it in the State's.

In a way importer's like MotoRex may have helped Nissan to realize that we wanted the original Z. An affordable Porsche killer?:devil:

You've got to believe!
I'm going to get a Bitch'n Red Z the very day I graduate from college at the University of Missouri - Columbia, Mizzou for all those in "the know"

:cool:

You bed bet I am going to be buying a 350Z! Preferably in a metalic dark color like blue or black. :frog:

I'm in.. i i think i'm in love with the new Z. i also like the dark silver color from the s2000

I like the sonic orange and I would take a dark color like black or maroon. :alien:

if its under 30K, it'll be a toss up between this and a G35...but i'll take either one in white :)

Does anyone know if the 350Z will be at the Anaheim Convention center for the auto show this weekend?

i'm looking forward for one.
dark blue or maybe black..

The moment it hits the showroom floor I dump my 2001 Audi TT 225 coupe and get the metallic (or pearl) black or grey coupe of the Z. There's nothing to think about :)

I must say Yellow w/black interior 6 spd & off course convertible:D

I love the new Z, I really liked the Z in the Orange it was shown in at the start of the year.

Do you think someone will bring out a body kit to make it more like the orange one from the start of the year? i.e. bigger grill, etc?

That said, for the money I could get a second hand R34, mmmmm..... twin turbos.....
