I argue with people on the internet. It's a thankless job.

Story time! First, the Supra never became its own model until 1986. The Z had already been on the US market for 16 years by that point. If you want to reach ALL the way back to the origins of the Supra, you have to go back to 1979 for its US market debut as a trim of the Celica. It debuted...

You should. Because it's a pony car. They're sick cars though. Ask the longstanding Camaro and Mustang owners that understand the heritage of those cars - they're in a segment all in their own. Traditional sports cars are two seat cars. Pony cars can perform like true sports cars (even...

When an automaker wants to know what you're cross-shopping in order to see where their product will compete and they get an answer like this, they ignore it, which is why it doesn't matter if you're cross-shopping a BRZ or a Z. When you figure out what it is that you want in a car (seriously -...

I ask myself this every single time this comes up. They're two totally different cars. Despite "feel" and "lightness", the BRZ doesn't get around a track faster than a Z, end of story. It's ok if you like it, but if you're in the market for a true sports car experience, the Z wins. The BRZ...

Allow me to be the second!

Does anyone know if the new Z uses the R190 rear end that's in the Q cars or if it soldiers on with the 370Z's R200?

The Mazda RX is vaporware. Book it. They've been talking about this since the RX-8 was in showrooms. It's not happening.

Bluetooth =/= CarPlay. The brand-agnostic term for Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is Smartphone Projection. (Bluetooth streaming is completely separate technology). The first Smartphone Projection implementations require cable connection. Wireless implementation is newer, and it utilizes both a...

At the end of the day, you won't make everyone happy. Half the people griping about what Nissan did will turn around a buy a used car anyway - they just want their hill to die on. I'll listen to gripes from people that have owned one or several of these cars. If you drive a 370Z on a track...

VR30 with accessories is about 50lbs heavier than VQ37VHR with accessories. 9AT is lighter than outgoing 7AT, so automatic Z cars should be roughly same weight as previous 370Z as far as drivetrains are concerned, with the exception of the weight of the R190 diff that's likely in the new Z...

It's pain we both live with every day. haha

No lie I am buying multiple Hot Wheels copies of this car at minimum.

Dude a base model C8 Vette is still a solid class above even a 500hp version of this car. I sure hope Nissan sees that. I'm a diehard Z guy myself and I want a Nismo (unless they do something butt ugly to it), but if my Nismo cash can get me into a C8 Vette... that decision is a really tough...

Good God, Seattle. That 10% tax hurts my soul. EDIT: also I would trade that $5k in markup for a little patience. Zero way I would ever waste money on markup for a depreciating asset no matter how badly I wanted it, and I have done some stupid car deals in my life.

It's because you poor Aussies are used to getting boned with insane fun car prices, but you get legal R34 GT-Rs as compensation ;)

I gotta temper my excitement over the car with reality - Nissan's mid-cycle refreshes are ALWAYS better than launch versions of any of their cars. My 2013 370Z Sport had so many little bugs worked out from my 2010 40th Anniversary (steering lock, suspension adjustment, evap cannister redesign...

I have wanted a Nismo version since the 2015 refresh of the Nismo 370Z, but I have been waiting due to life and other things changing. I told myself that I'd likely want a Nismo version of this car, but now reality is pointing more toward a Nismo Z being closer to $60k. It's gotta be a HELL of...

The problem isn't so much people wrecking their cars, it's Mustangs wrecking into people.

Ok... this would be absolutely over-the-top SICK
