    (Hagerty) How fast is the new $50k Nissan Z? — New Z vs Supra vs Mustang Mach-1

    After seeing the best of the -Z- YouTube reviews, I'll share my quick take, but preface it first by saying, I don't post much anymore on this forum, and will not in the future. The reason is time, and because I've ordered a different car, ergo I am not yet one of the full fledged "Z Alumni" or...

    That's an awesome job. All the trainspotters admire you! I long for a nice O scale layout! 😀👍

    Would you buy an electric or hybrid Z?

    You nailed a lot of good points, upside and downside. Upsides are low maintenance electric motors that could run 500,000 miles and have acceleration that peels back the epidermis, like the Model S Plaid. Of course, whether or not EVs are soulless is a subjective question. Also a somewhat...

    ADM...whats your best guess?

    "second pile of steaming garbage because they are capacitive touch" So, you're saying you don't like it? Btw, what type of buttons are on the new Z steering wheel? I honestly don't know. Local dealer says I can order an R at MSRP but wait 3 months to get it. I may do it, and wait a year or two...

    ADM...whats your best guess?

    Not a deal-breaker. People complain about everything because they like to. Every auto "journalist" complains about the entertainment system and controls. I'll bet I could learn it all and get used to using it in a day or two. But the Z gets my first choice unless ADM b.s. and a year out to get...

    ADM...whats your best guess?

    Never had so much as a burp from mine, although it did fart a lot. <See what I did there? ? It had a JB4 e85 map with downpipe and I ran the hell out of it. Only drawback was the FWD always spinning tires on throttle, and I had sticky nittos which still didn't cure it. Hope stickies will help...

    Car youtubers you like?

    Agree on Schmee and those like him. Some of these people are apparently so rich that they get a new car every other week and it means nothing.

    Will this car be forever known as "400Z"?

    If I buy one and tune it to 500hp, I will call mine a "500 Z". Everyone else's will be a Z. Mine will be a "500 Z". Because I can. ? *sorry, just being contrary...for fun!

    Z vs Red Sport cooling

    It goes without saying, therefore I will say it, If the Z heat exchangers support the hp increase some of us are looking for with a tune and downpipes (475-500) without having to buy and install aftermarket ones, that would be great!

    your short list of cars?

    The Humble Mechanic channel on youtube has a MK8 R stuck in a USA port, and he said the Port just notified him that it will be shipped on 2-7, ie 5 days from now. There are a boatload (literally) of Rs and GTIs at the port, so they all get shipped on 2-7. Agree the Mk8s interiors have been...

    your short list of cars?

    I recall the day well. My GTI was a 2016 also. MK8 Rs will always be full MSRP unless a recession hits. But they will be obtainable at MSRP sometime in 2022. I'm just saying I won't pay a markup on what is essentially a little hatchback with economy car DNA. Even tho the tech on it has become...

    Please Nissan dealership don’t do a Ford

    So true. Nissan had better handle this right, including dealer smackdowns by any means they can. I long for the day all car companies sell direct, like Tesla. Karma's a beotch, Mr. Salesman.

    your short list of cars?

    My backup cars in case the Z doesn't happen are: 2022 m240i X-Drive MK8 Golf R 2022 Supra 3.0 Not necessarily in that order. With the current supply chain & political b.s. going on, it is the WORST time to buy a car, as everyone knows. Sold my GTI last week at an inflated price. If I'd sold it...

    ? Watched those 2 videos, they were great. The 911 driver was quite skilled. I haven't seen this mod before. Makes me want to get back into it. The drifting video was insane, too! Yes, the motion sickness in VR is a problem. I've only tried a quick demo in a store, so don't really know yet if I...

    My Gamer days were mostly during the Half-Life, UT, and Quake era. All the late-night deathmatch craziness, WOW!! So exciting and immersive. What was that...15-20 years ago? Geez, time flies! Also heavily played Jane's WWII Fighters, and the Microsoft WWII sim of the same era, forget the name...
