This is simply ridiculous. No one would think the Z would win a drag race against those cars.

Few points….
1…it will be perfect for a fun drive…enough for the rolling hills, for speed to get on those freeways and enough for a nice drag at the lights …in short enough to give you an adrenaline hit
2…to make it truly a equal footing, drivers should have done one round each in each car . Individual drivers can make a huge difference on times, if they didn’t the F1 would be very boring, and some drivers ( even at the top of the pile) wouldn’t be getting paid the amounts they do.

3…most importantly. They are different …you want a muscle car, buy a mustang. You want a pretty sports car steeped in history and an enjoyable daily ride…get a Z because that 0.2 of a second means nothing when your driving through the country for enjoyment, or in the city on your daily run

I’ve had 3 different mustangs through the years I had a 94 cobra and 08 GT and the 15 gtpp I like them awesome sound before I got the Supra I was looking at a Mach 1 and C8 but the wait and other things pushed me into the Supra lol plus Toyota giving me 41k for my 18 2SS

That’s not the way I look at It. Im not looking for the fastest car or the best car on a race track. I’m looking for a car that’s fast enough, fun to drive, looks great and won’t beat me up when driving around town. In my opinion, the Z is the superior car.

Personally I don't care much about the slower drag time, but the other complaints in the video related to handling give some concern.

Quote from video: "This car is all over the place. It really isn't confidence inspiring ..."

Also he said braking at high speed was sloppy

Same here plus the breaking is a real concern.
I’m really considering to cancel my deposit.

It’s unfortunate. I was first on the list at my
Dealer. Season is done, now I was going to light mod it as well. But clearly the brakes aren’t good after going fast. Lots of these new reviews show the car is hard to handle unless you’re a pro. (I know most think they are but really they’re not)

60K CDN for the preformance model out the door plus another 5-15K on mods and labor.

F that. No chance.

If I’m going to wait, I’m waiting for the c8 for 2 years. Going to a dealer tomorrow. Don’t
Mind waiting 2 years for one.

The reviews on the Z - man, are they some Jekyl/Hyde reviews - while I didn’t expect the Z to beat either car from dig - in particular the Mustang - it was a bit disconcerting the way he talked about how the car was all over the place and the brakes didn’t like being hit at those high speeds. More and more - I feel like this car is a bit of a disappointment - from at first not being able to beat the Supra (was NOT surprised about this to be honest) but its all the other things - the suspension setup out of the box is more GT and less sports car. The constant reviewers talking about the lack of feedback and the way the car shifts its weight etc in turns.
And while I really do enjoy TH - I’m shocked how badly they reviewed the Z. If I were in the market for a new one - I would definitely need a test drive before actually putting money down on it. Maybe all these bad reviews will help when it comes to the added ADM - or maybe like others have mentioned - some small suspension mods will get this car to where everyone wants it to be. Granted not knowing what the actual cost of the Z was to build it - I just feel that if they would have priced this at $40k and then $45k for the performance version - it would allow for the cost difference between the Z and its competitors to make this a great buy. I just don’t know anymore - granted the cost of doing a FI TT kit in the 370z plus all the supporting mods and what not - still kinda makes me think that a newer Z even with it’s reviews is a better buy than going ‘full send’ on modding the 370z.

I agree but to get it where you expected it from factory is gonna cost a nice penny for coil overs and bolt ons. If the price was much lower then adding mods would be fine to justify the costs. But these prices, you expect for them to do better tires, brakes, suspension. I can’t express how disappointed I am with Nissan. I’ve been a Nissan “fan boy” for many years. This is very disheartening
