Nissan's "new" Z/Z400

[Schwerin]

So we have confirmed a Base Sport curb weight will be 3,485, about 220-230 less than the base Mustang GT.

While it's making about (in AWD form) 370whp/390twq. About 35whp, and 8TQ less than a stock 18+ 5.0. May be a little closer if the Q50 I'm using for comparison didn't have AWD drivetrain loss. Thats 200+lbs less is going to be a HUGE factor in comparison depending on how the S650 weight turns out. I would not be amazed if is a very close drivers race 400Z vs GT. Throw in a $500 boost tool and the GT will still have a 10-15WHP lead, but will be down by about 50ft-lb in comparison.

which completely erases 31HP worth of deficit. So the cars are essentially identical, modulo chassis and suspension engineering.

Not a big fan of 21st Century Nissans they have lost their way.IMO

They need to bring back a car that encapsulates the essence of the 240Z.

Not a dull 370

Agreed, would be nice if they made a new car from scratch not a redesigned 370z

I like these, I do believe these will definitely steal some sales away from the Mustang. From the photos the materials look to be quite nice for the interior.

It's more of a rebodied Q60 with no AWD option.

So a 370z

It's literally the same chassis

Guys I’m also on the Z forum since planning to upgrade from my RB26 240Z.

Lots been posted and Nissan has been hush about the first dealer allocations.

But here are the latest specs per the Canadian version, not too diff from USDM

FYI it’s not called the 400Z but only Z.

Have fun:

Thanks great info!

400lbs lighter than an S550.

The design is totally heritage, 240Z front, 300ZX Z32 rear, I hope most here know that. I’m holding back cuz the performance still won’t hold a candle to my PP2 on track IMO.

I like the new bumper option but as much of you have eluded to, the fact that it's another 370Z
with modified components is a little disappointing. I know I sound ridiculous being that developing a new chassis takes massive investment but companies like Nissan and Dodge have had ridiculously long product cycles and it makes me wonder why do people even want to buy a 12 year old challenger or a 14 year old GTR chassis. That's just me though.

I miss my older Z cars...

The mashing of elements kinda throw me off.

I kida of agree about the track statement too. Of course, driver mod can overcome a lot of deficits.

The orange is a Japanese concept, yellow on background is the Proto Spec US only 240 being made.

The US versions being shown all over the country is like one I went to see at Anaheim last yr. This is the Seiran Blue
