Tamura San driving Fairlady Z at Tokyo Auto Salon

Exhaust sounds terrible, even for stock. The Silver Z in the US sounds a little better. Remember, sport exhaust is in the performance package, if you're paying for that I expect something from it.

This is a JDM configured car. They probably have different noise regulations over there.

Almost sounded like an EV until they were hitting the rev limiter.

Being it is a JDM spec vehicle, it may be in compliance with vehicle noise regulations in Japan. The exhaust I recently saw on a new Z would definitely not be that quite.

Next on the wish list is to see a manual drop the clutch.

I still can't get over how Nissan greased the landing w/ the factory wheels. They look so good from this angle, especially how much it showcases the rear concavity.

In-car video from TAS.
Sounds like some early driving impressions. Can someone translate?

Interesting that "drifting" video is getting released but exactly zero minutes of video of the car actually running on a track have surfaced to date, which in my experience is highly unusual for a sportscar due to be released in a few months. I hope it's not a reflection of the relative importance of the two to the developers and engineers.

I could hoon my 1987 200SX SE V6 about the same as these videos. They're just showing the new Z can be hooned. That's fine by me because I won't track it anyways. When Boeing goes out of business I'm taking my new Z to the abandoned parking lots and hooning the piss out of it. If only it had t-tops and I could still grow a mullet
