Hello all!

Just picked up a Z Performance MT 6! It's a blast!

Traded in my dream car, a 2015 GTR. I drove it daily, rain, snow you name it, for nearly 12 years and 92,000km.

Looking forward to drifting my way to work in the winter!

Thanks!
Still breaking it in. First impressions:
- It feels much smaller and lighter
- It definitely encourages more hooliganism. The GTR always felt nailed to the tarmac and it wasn't happy to let you slide around
- I love the design, inside and out. I feel like my 90's car fantasies have come true!
- I didn't realize how much I missed a manual trans! My last manual was a bug eye WRX so I'm a bit rusty. This rev-match feature is a cheat code!

Hi All,

I just picked up our Z and couldn't have been happier! I looked for a while to find this trim level with a 6 speed but found it!

This is with my wife when we first picked it up. I look forward reading and learning from all of you.

Hi all. I picked up a manual performance trim in passion red last Friday and love it. Already tinted the windows and will be putting on AMS cold air intakes and a Borla S Type exhaust in a week. Looking forward to the conversations here.

Welcome 😊

Me and you are in the exact same boat! My first Z is also a Nismo Z as well but I wanted a Z since I was a teenager (I’m 41) and now I finally have one.

Formal introduction as new member.

New 2027 Performance Z, white two-tone w/ tan interior. Has dealer installed splash guards, lowered with Nismo coil-overs, all weather mats, Z caps, 20% rear / 35% side tint, PFF.

Arrived filthy via open shipping to CO from AZ (Nismo Nick for the win).

I'm coming from an 8-passenger Honda Odyssey, downsizing to 2 seats. I have a family with two young boys and will treat this as a second car - for split trips and special occasions. Will be interesting to see how we fair.

I’ve owned many sport cars but never a manual. Only manual experience is motorcycles, and limited. It’s day 2 and I’m already getting good feel for the basics - still not fluid on inclines but feeling more confident each trip.

Recently owned a ā€˜17 Audi TTs that was equipped with sport springs. My first impressions are amazing and mostly in comparison to that car. The Z feels larger and more capable on city streets.

Overall, thrilled with the purchase! Excited to enjoy a unique car and this community.

Drew
