Throttle house - Nissan Z vs Mustang GT vs Challenger Scat Pack - Drag & roll race

[BobDigi5060]

It’s unfortunate. I was first on the list at my
Dealer. Season is done, now I was going to light mod it as well. But clearly the brakes aren’t good after going fast. Lots of these new reviews show the car is hard to handle unless you’re a pro. (I know most think they are but really they’re not)

60K CDN for the preformance model out the door plus another 5-15K on mods and labor.

F that. No chance.

If I’m going to wait, I’m waiting for the c8 for 2 years. Going to a dealer tomorrow. Don’t
Mind waiting 2 years for one.

Do it. It's the only thing I could trade my mustang for. Never thought I would want more car than this, but Corvettes are greater than Mustangs and hopefully the C8 becomes a reliable car within the next year or two. One of my neighbors got one. It's larger than expected in person and a muscular exotic if I ever saw one. The sound is pure muscle. It's pretty awesome!

I’ve had 3 different mustangs through the years I had a 94 cobra and 08 GT and the 15 gtpp I like them awesome sound before I got the Supra I was looking at a Mach 1 and C8 but the wait and other things pushed me into the Supra lol plus Toyota giving me 41k for my 18 2SS

Quick comparison of the Supra vs Mustang vs Camaro if you don't mind.

Really digging the Supra as of late. Missing the leather seats and bun warmers from my Infiniti. The front needs a good lip and it would go a long way. Rear end is perfect as is the rest of the interior and exterior. Not afraid to purchase a 2022 and get the most out of it. Turbo upgrades are being done of JB4s from what I read.

I can't get over the fact that the Z is over 3400 pounds. It's a jdm muscle car imho, but I highly doubt as great as an American muscle car. Challengers look great, Mustangs have the more sophisticated engine while the Camaro has the more sophisticated chassis. Looks are subjective, but the Z is definitely in a hard place.

I think you need to take a deep breath and a break away from the keyboard for a beat.

Your multiple posts sound a little like therapy session

Man that mustang exhaust, I had the borla s type catback chef kiss

The exhaust I have, sick! And coming from your basic NA V8, it's baseball and apple pie!

It is a GT car not a sports car.

I know what you're trying to say, here, but the Z is absolutely a sports car. Just definitionally, it falls into that category (unless we want to be extremely pedantic and claim that only roadsters are actually "sports cars" by traditional standards).

I think what you and others are identifying is that it isn't necessarily a track car.

its hard for me to compare cause each one was slightly better version of the last but my GTPP was base with track pack but the never really felt beat up by driving it i dont get that when people say that and ive always Daily all my cars the 2SS had everythng minus Magride and i never ever used the heated seats or heated steering wheel lol even when it was slightly cold but the best thing in all those cars was the sound man... nothing like it cept for turbo noise lol . its hard to compare for me but i feel like the supra is quick i mean its a combo of things the power and the weight vs my big ol v8s even though ive weight my base GTPP and it was sitting around 3600 and change lol but i cant tell you which is better i love all my cars

Just talking out louder here. I'm certain multiple quotes in a single post wouldn't get this reaction ?‍

You're right though. Does read like a therapy session. Not many friends, just coworkers, spouse, two kids, and the toddler doesn't really talk back yet at this point in life. For the record, my six year old thinks I should keep the mustang. Will refrain myself for now ?

All in good fun! I don't have many friends either since my mom quit paying people.

Nissan should've gotten these into customers' hands BEFORE reviewers get hands on them to reveal shortcomings

This is a very good point, and I think you're on to something. The launch has been messy, to be sure, (we can all certainly agree to that) but there would have been much greater potential for damage control on Nissan's behalf had the time between reviews being made public and actual Zs hitting the streets been a smaller window.

Had that been the case, people like those of us on the forum who actually planned to purchase the vehicle at launch could've weighed in with real-life opinions on how the Z truly performs when being used for the individual purposes we have, whatever those might be.

yo i have a special running till memorial day lol 50% off friends lol

 

[Lvckv69]

And they want 60k-120k for this shit. Fooh

 

[Go2ZZZ]

Speed, handling and braking are highly overated when it comes to sports cars.

Please don’t be that guy lol

 

[Go2ZZZ]

Stop! Just stop it! It's dead already.

I don't even think this is a good GT car for the money. It's pretty obvious people are in love with it's looks, I get it, it's gorgeous. Or perhaps the Z heritage. Car lovers do irrational things. Enjoy.

But at this point I'm more curious to see how and if Nissan responds to this embarrassment.

Agree. If they priced it right, It would be fine. 40k should’ve been the performance model.

I got back from the dealer. I specd out my c8 and saw the price and said F that I can’t afford that. It was literally double the price of the Z at $114K. Albeit, I added Z51 and some other goodies. It came to $2000 a month for it CDN. Can’t afford it unfortunately.

Your kidding right.The 2003 350z performance model was 44k.These cars are priced accordingly.
