First Supra vs Nissan Z side by side direct comparison look

[Denver the Last Dinosaur]

The Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ is often said to be a cheaper Porsche (911, 944, etc.), mainly due to the handling.

Curious, this isn't the first time I've heard someone refer to the Z as the poor man's 911. Back in the day, it was certainly the poor man's E Type (I mean the styling clearly heavily "influenced" by the E Type), but I don't know where the connection between the 911 and Z originated from.

It’s just like the 86 is a poor man’s Z ….at least in Aus

Well, my first encounter was with this one today, and it surprised me quite a bit. In person, it is a much more attractive car and has a good elegant balance to it. The metallic paint was very well done, and it seemed quite larger than the A90 even though not by much. The owner was really cool, and we traded stories of our past Z’s (basically all gens), him still owning the 350 and me still having the visor Mr. K signed at Blackhawk during it’s unveiling. His is one of the only two here, and 1 of 240 or so Prototype spec. I can only hope more owners will be like this guy.

Interesting..insta note on that pic said the car is not for sale but part of media tour...maybe this "owner" is probably a journalist then...

Every time I see pics like this I think "the Supra is pretty cool looking, but damn the Z looks incredible" lol. They're just so different and I appreciate them both.

There are parts of both cars that look good. When I think of getting a Supra I look at it’s back end compared to the Z & I shift back to the Z. I think the Z front end could have been designed better, but it’s not a deal breaker & won’t stop me from getting one. The NISMO front end looks very nice. I would not be surprised if in a few model years we see a more sleek front reminiscent of the 1st Gen Z’s including the 240, 260, & 280. Hopefully the Z will be around for awhile to have changes made.
