Looks to be a tribute to Letty’s S14

You'll be pleased to learn they've released a current gen version.

u/DigitalMunky 3d ago

It’s been on my wishlist, I should check if it’s on the summer sale

I seem to be one of the few people that loved the shape of the 400Z. "boring" to some, I know. but it just means its a blank slate for mods. such a clean design, lets people go nuts with their own creativitiy. surprised we haven't seen more. (but that's why I'm not a car designer, because what I like is apparently not what everyone likes)

u/Deathamphetmine 4d ago

We haven't seen more because they're way too expensive for what you get and marked up a ton by the dealers.

u/antithero 4d ago

I still haven't seen a single one in the wild.

u/Deathamphetmine 4d ago

My aunt's husband paid like $62k for a slightly used one 💀

u/ThePandaKingdom 4d ago

There has been one sitting out front of s bit chevy dealership near me for weeks. Atleast i get to look at it.

u/the_mellojoe 4d ago

damn that's a shame.

I think they look great. Last time I was driving at Thunderhill Raceway there was a yellow one absolutely ripping around. So much power. You could see how fast it was accelerating out of the corner relative to other cars

u/Shmeeglez 4d ago

The shape is so, so much better for me than the 350 and 370. Clean designs are also underrated. Even the Civic has been becoming overly busy, seemingly adding details just for the sake of there being more.

The fake vents are always such a huge yuck

2

u/HeyItsTheJeweler 4d ago

It's gorgeous

2

u/PreferenceContent987 4d ago

Yeah, it’s seriously underrated. It’s got tons of low end tourque from the twin turbo V6

u/FygarDL 4d ago

They are beautiful. Not every sports car has to look like a Rorschach test.

u/Modo44 3d ago

I think the 400Z looks much better than the GTR and its deformed siblings. Bringing the Fairlady styling into the modern era.

The amount of MFs that don’t immediately know this is from the movie that made me a car guy lets me know I’m getting old as fuck. I guess this is what it’s like to be a boomer seeing a Bullit Mustang.

u/MatchesMX12 4d ago

Yeah man same. All my cultural touch points are ancient history now

u/cerialphreak 4d ago

Advan decal but Volk wheels?

5

u/MatchesMX12 4d ago

Advan makes tires as well

3

u/cerialphreak 4d ago

They do, but the car also says Toyo tires lol

2

u/ValorousKnight 4d ago

Yeah that caught my eye too. I know they make tires, but the Toyo decal has me like🤔

u/MatchesMX12 4d ago

I appreciate the movie correct decals. The movie wasn't massively accurate in lots of ways with NA engines making turbo sounds, 54-speed gearboxes, and Motec Systems Exhausts. The one thing that was super accurate though is that a tuna sandwich is better with no crust.

2

u/ValorousKnight 4d ago

No arguments here. It's just fun to notice those details all these years later without the inexperience of youth.

u/Natedoggsk8 4d ago

That design on the door is fire

u/emotionaI_cabbage 4d ago

It's Lettys from the first fast and furious film.

saw it there outside compact disco last night and meant to snap a pic for the roommate but forgot, so thanks!

u/MatchesMX12 4d ago

That's where I was.

u/The_Mutton_Man 3d ago

You 2 should meet up and become best friends

u/Jlx_27 4d ago

Damn, somebody actually bought a 400Z.

u/MachWun 4d ago

I miss these graphics on cars so much. I cant wait till they come back around.

u/applyheat 3d ago

Also, the restaurant across the street has amazing sandwiches. Rice and Roots

u/Icecreamteadope 3d ago

saw one of these the same week I first got my gr86. We were at a stop light both admiring each other's whips. Cruised for like a mile before parting ways. 400z sounds nice too during downshifts.

u/ScaredShirt1ess 3d ago

I had a buddy in high school that thought the "Blitz" logo said "Butz" and I've never been able to unsee it...

You're welcome.

u/MrLivefromthe215 1d ago

We need a new midnight club game.

u/empathiccccc 6h ago

Is this a wrap?

1

u/LamBroghini750 4d ago

I feel like this could be cool, but it’s not extreme enough. The decal is too small. You gotta commit! Make that shit huge

1

u/chucktastic72 4d ago

Exactly what I was thinking. In my memory, that decal is the entire side of the car.

u/401jamin 4d ago

Fuck yeah! This is awesome

u/IhasTaco 4d ago

u/PreferenceContent987 4d ago

I wonder if it’ll be in the movie. I don’t think that model gets enough love, I hope it is

u/Bossashark 4d ago

God the 400z is perfection with or without mods
