    Boating and skis too supercharged. Think it will do high 60s. Kids mostly use it. I am the maintenance man…. Have ridden some and it is BIG water here so I don’t go much over 60. Once you fall off one of these things at speed- well, you don’t want to again. But boats are another...

    KW competition 3A dampers?

    In my BMW/Supra world I would call my KW rep. If they came off a competition car the valving should be almost custom and have high spring rates. you should be able to get spring rates off the numbers on the springs. Euro car or american? euro cars and tracks tend to be set up much softer...

    So Long Z - it was Fun(ish)

    I agree with golden age and hooray for almost any 2-door sports car. h o w e v e r, as someone that still owns a 2002 M3- that analog/raw feeling is lacking these days. Lots of these sports cars have lost the driver/road connection with all the gee wiz ecus, sound deadening numb feeling/safe...

    Prices coming down, anybody getting under MSRP?

    Maybe a Nismo next year as a daily. I always buy used though. But yeah, prices are coming down. either a nismo or a used c8 as daily. those prices are coming waaaaay down too.

    MC's 2024 Z NISMO

    fwiw- AutoX will not be an issue for the fuel or diff. The runs are just too short.

    Car and Driver - 2024 Lightning Lap

    Not impressed with their skill thru uphill Esses. Lines so so. They need a pro to set all the times

    2024 Z NISMO GT4

    Ok, yes both are activated by paddles. That is really the only similarity. Important to clarify the sequential is in no way suitable for daily driving. It would actually hurt your enjoyment of the car.

    Car and Driver - 2024 Lightning Lap

    The grand course is over 4 miles. The exact same car- The difference between me and you would be 30-40 seconds The difference between me and the “magazine” drivers may be a second or two one way or another. So 2 different magazine “experts” could be 2-5 seconds apart too. the difference...

    Car and Driver - 2024 Lightning Lap

    trolls everywhere... in every forum and FB group. I don't drive a Nissan obviously but have been watching/involved because I am always looking for the next track toy. But I am a fan of any manufacturer who still has balls to make a real sports car these days! No track time list can be...

    2024 Z NISMO GT4

    Basic sports car knowledge? sequential are race derived. cannot be put into an automatic mode. sequential have diff cut gears and can NOT be skipped over like an auto that can shift from 3 to 6th for example. you would NOT want a sequential for a daily. Sequential have NO torque converter...

    Car and Driver - 2024 Lightning Lap

    Guess the same could be said for the Supra costing 10k less? Put 200tw tires on the Zupra like the Nismo and the gap would widen. Spend 10k in mods on the Zupra and the gap would get silly. I am glad the Nismo is much better and track focused. Not sure how many will actually track? The...
