What's the difference in tire mean for treadwear/performance? I'd love to try this new rubber when my existing Dunlops wear out.
My understanding is that the GT600 are a more track oriented tire with more grip, but edgy at the limit when they overheat and harder to predict their limits. While the GT Maxx RS are more linear in terms of their grip, they communicate better and give you more awareness of the grip limits.

looks too good, the wheel offset is not the usual Z style looks very aggressive for OEM

i like the front bumper, that should be an easy swap in the future

The front end looks great. I think a lot of people have been waiting to see a sleeker look up front. Hope the green shown is an offered color. Anxious to see what it looks like in the flesh.

Still prefer the rectangle grille. Should have just kept the shape but with the extended nose. All the other variants including the Nismo just doesn't look good to me. Heritage is rectangular. The wide trapezoid shape is like every other car on the road.

Now that the Nismo is getting 6 speed and the nose getting an updated design lets see how many who have been asking for both go out and buy one. I have a sneaking suspicion for many it will go like this. Oh I like it but it needs an extra ??? Horsepower, oh I like it but it’s slower than a GT3, oh I like it but it needs stickum on the tires, you all get were Im going with this 😂

Head cracking issue is rare. Nearly all performance cars have some sort of endemic engine flaw that occurs in some % of the cars made. Ultimately if my engine blows up out of warranty I'll save up and put a new one in.
According to the Internet, every GR Corolla that's flogged for more than 4 minutes will immolate itself.

Regarding the green 2027 Z, I feel like some bronze with silver lip wheels would look perfect on it. I think the style is called "Watanabe"? Are there other modern brands of wheels that can catch that retro vibe? I think the updated front bumper is much better as a modern interpretation of the 240Z...
