Ah, car forums. Home to the highs and lows of automotive culture, from the best advice on aftermarket parts to the entirely indistinguishable, absolute worst advice on aftermarket parts. Once in a while, though, something interesting sneaks its way onto those bastions of crowd-sourced car enthusiasm — say, for instance, the full list of options for Canadian-delivered 2023 Nissan Zs.

Earlier this week, a for the new Z began appearing on the Nissan Z Club forums. The document, while unverified, is convincing — though a committed faker could probably make enough educated guesses to put a PDF like this together.

The document specifies the already-confirmed 400 hp, 350 lb-ft twin-turbo V6 engine, as well as three trim levels: Sport, Performance, and Proto Spec. Each is available in manual or automatic, and while pricing isn’t included in the document it seems Sport will be the cheapest while Proto Spec will be the top.

The curb weight on the base Sport is listed as 3,485 lbs, while the Performance and Proto Spec weights are censored under a box reading “TBD.” Wheels are listed as a square 18x9 inch setup for the Sport, and a barely-staggered 19x9.5 inches up front and 19x10 in the rear on the Performance and Proto Spec.

In terms of options, the base Sport apparently includes a stock engine block heater — but remember, Canadian winters are cold, so that may not remain standard on U.S.-delivered cars. Other options on the base trim include automated emergency braking, heated mirrors, two 12v power ports and two USB ports (one A, one C), and a preponderance of airbags.

Stepping up to the Performance gets buyers a Bose audio system, connected services in the infotainment, a mechanical LSD, the bigger wheels, front and rear spoilers, upgraded brakes, rev-matching, upgraded steering wheel and pedals, heated leather power seats, and “glove box dampening.” That last one alone is worth whatever price increase they throw at the Performance.

The Proto Spec, it seems, is an appearance package on top of the Performance. It adds the yellow paint of the Z Proto concept, as well as matching yellow interior trim and bronze wheels. All in all, the car seems to be an appealing package — as long as the price holds up.

A Nissan representative confirmed to me that the specs and info in the leaked brochure are accurate. It seems an engine block heater really is standard on Canadian-delivered Zs. What a world.

The Saab 900 Turbo SPG Was A Hot Hatch Way Before Hot Hatchbacks Were Cool
The Saab 900 Turbo SPG Was A Hot Hatch Way Before Hot Hatchbacks Were Cool
The may in fact be the most underrated performance hatchback in history. While most believe the Volkswagen GTI to be the grandfather of the hot hatch, truth is, while VW was still relying on a measly 1.8-liter four to generate power, Saab was dishing out fire-breathing, front-wheel-drive turbo compacts ravenous...

I Hit 115 MPH In A 2,700 HP Race Boat And It Was Eerily Smooth [UPDATED WITH VIDEO]
We Went 115 MPH on the Hudson River One-hundred and fifteen miles an hour in a car isn’t anything to turn your nose up at. Certainly, automakers these days tout their elite models as 200-MPH-smashing beasts, but, honestly, how many people take their cars up to those speeds anyways? One-hundred...

For $22,999, Would You Jump Out Of The Frying Pan And Into This 2011 Porsche Panamera 4?
For $22,999, Would You Jump Out Of The Frying Pan And Into This 2011 Porsche Panamera 4?
Porsche’s new Panamera is a brutally handsome car. As today’s ’11 attests however, the first generation was far less of an aesthetic success. Of course, this one may prove far cheaper than the pretty one. Wow, the results from last Friday’s vote (remember all the way back then?) went completely...

For $3,500, Could This 1985 BMW 528 Still Bring It?
For $3,500, Could This 1985 BMW 528 Still Bring It?
The seller of today’s E28 says it’s a 528, but he leaves off the “e” part of the name. There’s a fifty-horsepower difference between the “e” and the “i” which could affect your opinion as to whether this one’s worth writing an IOU. Sporting Hondas are like the obnoxious children...

For $16,000, Could You Get Revved Up For This 2007 Honda S2000?
A RWD Honda may seem antithetical to the marque’s ethos, but when they did do such a car—as represented by today’s S2000—they did the format right. Let’s see if this one’s price is a bit of alright too. Yesterday’s may not have been a looker, but even fewer of you...

This Canadian Hero Deserves Eternal Glory For Saving So Many Classic Saabs
This Canadian Hero Deserves Eternal Glory For Saving So Many Classic Saabs
When I asked Félix “Why Saab?” he responded with: “I bought a 900 S when I was about 20.” “But, why Saab?”, I rebutted. Advertisement “Oh. I like these cars,” he humbly replied. Félix, like many Saab aficionados, fell in love with the entire idea of the infinitely unusual 900...
