10? the chasis is old enough to drink.

In the US Ford owns the rights to Skyline to making it just “Nissan GT-R” simplifies global marketing. Also, since I don’t think the GT-R has shared any platform with the other Skylines since like the early 00's.

Auto only.

I got my fully optioned 2018 AWD RedSport new off the lot for under 50k and the car hasn’t changed at all in those last 5years.

Ford owns the name Skyline in the US.

I honestly expected about 440-450 crankHP. More so since Infiniti had previously had a deal with AMS to make a heat exchanger, intakes and someone else for catbacks for the Q50/60. I expected rebranded version of those to be on the NISMO.

I’m talking even same dynos at the same shops(burger tuning and Z1) with and same time of year. That said a like 10yr old 7spd auto should never be out dynoing a 6spd manual behind the same engine with both wTQ and wHP.

What confuses me most about the new Z is that in manual form it dynos less than the old 7spd auto in the Q50/60 but the engine is supposed to be identical. I’d have expected it to dyno much higher than it does. I had expected it to be a stronger Supra fighter based on the number that the Q Red Sports make.

I also find…

The 30 was a really nic elooking vehicle, just a shame it had such a poor drivetrain.

If they are targeting 40+ they are targeting the wrong group to keep brand loyalty. They killed my interest when they killed cars, and when a new GT with same options as my current ‘19 GT is 9-10k MORE than my car just 4yrs ago, they also lost me as a potential Mustang buyer. Nothing about the new car even justifies…

My 2019 Bullitt was 50k. The exact same options on a 2024 GT is 59k according to the Ford config website. I cant name ONE thing on the new car that is worth an extra 2k to me for the SAME options. Let alone 9K.

Inflation may be in line but that doesn’t mean Wages have gone up that same rate. I’d rather pick up a left…

Same. I’m ‘83 and the SN95 came out when I was 11. THAT was the car that was on walls. Along with the Mach III. The Fox Body was the dime a dozen car that my generation had in Highschool because they couldn’t afford the SN95 unless they had rich parents.

the “young” enthusiast cant afford a GT. 

Oldest Millenials are 40-43, not 50.

Even Mazda , the SMALLEST Japanese maker iw working on both rotaries and i6's with only minimal help from other makers. You’d think that Toyota being the worlds largest would be able to make room for some pet projects. Apparently they could afford the Yaris/Corolla GR’s but not make room for the Supra? Oddly they had…

Well we know the BRZ86 is blowing engines, so i’d rather have the EB. 

They also know that its faster/easier to move an auto than manual off the lot as more do want an auto. Also, they know that people that need a car are more likely to just buy whats on a lot and not order what they really want and wait months before it arrived.

that only applies to ones older than 2018. Since 2019 the only differences in the 82 and Tremec are the shifter and gearing.

Well spec’d EcoBoost: 49K

In 2000 the ITR out handled the WS6. I’ve seen Escort GT’s pass Porches. Power isn’t everything.

Ford also wasn’t about to import and recertify a whole other car for one small market. a 4door RWD V8 would’ve been Mustang GT competition. Ford is notorious for not letting other cars get near the Mustang GT in both price…
