2024 Z NISMO Reviews

[MCN1SMO]

This is the first review that has talked about the NISMOs weight being an issue. I really dont feel the weight on this car when being pushed hard

at the end they called the NISMO a "Niche-an Z" and honestly thats probably the most accurate summary of the NISMO to me. Its not gonna win over cross shoppers but for the nissan die hards its amazing

yup thats kinda where it sits, to the average buyer wanting a strong sports car this doesn't check the boxes, but for a nissan/z fan a great addition

I think it's a niche buyer for sure. But I guess I got that niche.

I was a cross shopper and the Nismo Z was the least likely purchase for me. I had a deposit on a Lotus Emira I canceled.

I think the YouTube review achieved what they wanted - a lot of comments, which means more money for them.

very positive review! agree with the steering comments and am also a fan of the dunlops! I do still find it funny that almost a year after the car has been out journalist still talk about how the NISMO sounds different because of the exhaust . I guess I will give them some slack if they had only previously driven the manual Z with the different exhaust. the NISMO crackle and pops are an audio track

"Holding gears, revving it to redline, you’re also accompanied by what’s arguably the best-sounding Nissan VQ engine the company has produced."

Do you suppose they're talking about the ASE or the real sound of the car?

If you want another one

Good info. Seems the NISMO is yet again a bit underpowered in a track test. I've been told that octane is so important to this car. I wonder if that was a factor here

Definitely resonate with this one.
Great review!

Posted this in my nismo thread but finally got a chance to do some more independent acceleration testing to compare to the magazine reviews

0-60 4.25 so right about what is in review( 1 foot roll out added in puts this to 3.9-4.0 )

1/4 mile [email protected]. at first thought this trap seemed a little weak but checked a handful of reviews and it was indeed inline with their results

I'm pretty comfortable saying these number are where the Z NISMO truly is as far as straight line performance. All my runs were repeated multiple times on a prepped surface with minimal wheel spin on favorable outside temps
