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.

Maserati's 2020 Lineup Is Hugely Discounted
Maserati's 2020 Lineup Is Hugely Discounted
Maserati didn’t have a very good 2019. Reports from both and assert the Italian automaker only sold about 11,000 cars last year. So, to drum up some incentive, Maserati is now offering discounts on its 2020 lineup. It’s rare we hear about luxury cars getting cheaper as time goes...

At $2,700, Could This 1995 Laforza Be "La Fabulous Deal?"
If you’ve long been hankering for a coach-built executive class SUV with easy to service American muscle under the hood then today’s Laforza might just be your jam. Could that oddly specific wish fulfillment be worth the asking? We’ll just have to see. It’s plainly obvious that David Tracy’s...

The 2019 Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S Is A Panserbjørn
My 2019 test almost didn’t happen. The car needed a set of special snow tires, shipped from Germany, before I was allowed to drive it. They took a while to arrive at the fleet garage. But I’m thankful they finally did, because it meant I got to tank 630 horsepower...

Who Is Paying These Wild Dealer Markups on Hyundai/Kia Crossovers?
Who Is Paying These Wild Dealer Markups on Hyundai/Kia Crossovers?
Dealer markups are usually a classic case of supply and demand. On specialty and performance cars like a Dodge Demon, 911 GT3 or even a Civic Type R, I get why this happens. But now folks are paying markups on Korean-made family cars. The Hyundai Palisade and its mechanical...

At $8,200, Is It High Time Someone Buy This Lifted 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
At $8,200, Is It High Time Someone Buy This Lifted 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
The seller of today’s Grand Cherokee is looking for a buyer who, in their words, will love it as much as they do. Before that can happen, we’ll have to find out if we love its price. A Porsche executive sedan isn’t as crazy an idea as you might...
