(Hagerty) How fast is the new $50k Nissan Z? — New Z vs Supra vs Mustang Mach-1

[ZZ2022]

Gapped

I want to see Sport Z vs 4 banger Zupra

One recurring theme throughout many reviews is that the tires let the Z down.

The 6MT , What a turd

Very disappointing

To be honest this isn't surprising, but better tires would likely help it keep up. Although, as he says, launch control is hit or miss on it. Can't do a burn out either.

it can, they're just not allowed to as part of the filming

Did you watch the video? They try to do a burnout and the car stops it. He literally says word for word, "..whose computer won't let you do a burnout."

Intakes, downpipes, and a tune - and it's a different ball game. People super concerned with these numbers are going to work the car anyway.

Supra boys are having a laugh right about now

This is the value of better quality tires, it seems. As predicted, Nissan is desperately trying to market the Z as a sub-$40K car when it really isn't. Has anyone posted a review of the base model, yet?

Ohhhh am I disappointed, esp with the manual. Guess I'll wait for more across the board testing, past the drag races. Come on Randy Pobst, grab the wheel at Laguna Seca and spill your guts out!

OTOH, that Coyote in the Mach 1 is awesome, torque rules. Similar on the B58, great motor.

Let them.

B58 is great, but it's still a BMW powerplant. As Mater said in Cars, "if there ain't no oil under 'em, there ain't no oil in 'em"

 

[SD_MK]

nuff said.

I was shocked the manual was that far behind the auto. For being the same price it should have been closer.
