10 Reasons To Buy The Nissan Z Over The Porsche 911

[MCN1SMO]

THIS is the dumbest article ive ever read . I really hope AI wrote it for them





here is a sample if you dont want to waste your life

1 At Base The Z Has More Horsepower

Nissan
Believe it or not, the base Z car actually carries more ponies than the base 911, even though both utilize a turbo six-cylinder 3.0-liter mill. The Nissan borrows the twin-turbo V-6 from the Infiniti Q50 Red Sport. Meanwhile, the 911 starts with a twin-turbo flat-six cylinder, with varying outputs. In addition, there's a 3.8-liter in the Turbo S, that is the most powerful.

Trim	Horsepower	Starting MSRP
Nissan Z:
Sport	400	$42,000 (est.)
Performance	400	$52,000 (est.)
Nismo	420	$62,000 (est.)
911:
Carrera	379	$116,050
Carrera 4	379	$123,350
Carrera T	379	$126,550

2The Z Starts With More Torque

Perhaps this shouldn't be a surprise now, but yes the Nissan Z has more torque initially than the Porsche 911. Of course, as with horsepower, the gap is closed and then surpassed eventually. However, when the Z overall is well under the six figures that the 911 starts at, this is nothing to sneer at.


3The Nissan Z Is Available With A Manual Too

Of note, the upcoming Nissan Z NISMO will not come with a manual transmission, but the other two lower trims will be available with a stick. If one wants the best driving experience, of course, opt in for the manual. The 911 Carrera comes with a manual too, but this is tapped out at those lower engine output figures when compared to the Z. Again, one must step up to the 443 horsepower Carrera S to top this, one with a price of $132,950.




The Nissan Z Is More Efficient

Despite having higher output numbers to start, the Nissan Z is actually just as efficient, if not more so than the Porsche 911. This is considering the manual and automatic transmission options. This is perhaps even more impressive when taking into account that the Z weighs a bit more than a 911.

You can get a 911 as a cabriolet or targa? And in cool colors? And the options you want?

 

[Mud]

Nissan has great communication with customers, met delivery expectations, has honoured its pre orders in a timely fashion and has provided a steady stream of vehicles to it's loyal enthusiasts.

 

[Vintage]

My one reason why I bought both:
1) They're both fun as all hell to drive.

IMO I like the looks of the Z way more than any Porsche because Porsche are everywhere, there is 0 uniqueness factor to them whereas I have yet to see even one Z (at least here in Dubai where I live).

 

[ZillaZ]

I have just never liked the looks of Porsche cars. Amazing driving cars but expensive and not great looking - to me. No problem with anyone who likes them at all. Just not for me.

I sold my 911 last year for exactly twice the price that I bought my Nismo for OTD...

I prefer the C8 as far as value, looks, and performance.

Thoughts so far?

Almost 7K miles in 5 months. I knew the Nismo Z had potential but it had a very novice setup from the factory, understeer and a numb front end. I installed a wider front tire and 2 way adjustable shocks and the car is DIALED IN. Loving it, it slides so nice but also has a lot of forward bite when doing so, front end feels and responds great as well. Sounds great, looks great and its unique, borderline exclusive.

In short NOTHING drives like a modern 911, but the car is very planted, a little too planted. I like some movement when I drive fast. In the 911 you had to be pushing very hard at very unsafe speeds to get any kind of movement from the car. If you have never owned one I definitely recommend getting one at some point, just to experience the unique characteristics of the 911. I've already had one so been there done that.

I looked at 2 C8s before I bought my Z and both had been sitting on the dealer lots for a while and both had water leaks, one was borderline flooded inside from rain. Also with the mid engine layout I didn't want another car that was too planted. I decided against the C8 and wanted to go with a FR layout again. I've had Mustang, Camaro, Challenger and others but never a Z so the time and price was right.

I have a c8 and a performance z 6mt and also a nismo z. The c8 is on a much higher pedestal. 911s are way overpriced and not what they used to be just like BMW performance vehicles. A $300,000 911 GT3 is not happening for me anytime soon as as much as I want it to.
