All-new 2023 Nissan Z makes world debut!

[Chgu]

From the sounds of what Matt Maran had to say, the 40k model will be a nightmare to control. Smaller tires, smaller brakes, etc. The Performance model has enough traction issues already, so I'm gonna guess the Sport model is squirrely as hell out of the box.

$39.9K for the Sport 6MT/9AT is a great deal - especially when comparing to the 2.0 Supra.

Ehh, depends on what you want it for. Tracking and autocrossing, the 2.0 has the better suspension setup and weight. But if you're a numbers guy or lining up for drags and roll racing, the Z should be the better option.

True. But it's still available in one transmission flavor. Not to mention, lower price point.

I wonder how the manual Z will fair against the manual Supra?

This! A bit surprised that Toyota decided to bring it back for the 2023 model year.

Drag race with a Supra..turned out as expected.

The Hagerty review did an auto Supra vs an auto Z, and an auto Z vs a manual Z. If we're looking at 0-60 and 1/4 mile, I'd expect the manual Supra to fall somewhere in the ballpark of the auto Z.

Track times, I'm also interested to see. I'd be interested to see how they conduct that test to minimize for driver error and fatigue or variance of driver skill, and so many other factors. That being said, the spec sheets suggest the Supra is the better track car.

Once again sounds like it's been tuned for street driving and comfort, and not track.

What a turd. Nissan was too cheap to even bring the carpet up to the top of the footwell.

Seems my trash math from the other day was pretty on point.

By Jalopnik’s argument, the R35 GTR, which people only want and like because of the numbers it posted up on track and drag, isn’t a memorable car.

I know!! It's more fun.... because you get to enjoy the quarter mile for a longer period of time!

Ah yes, Jalopnik… the Buzzfeed of car “news.”

Jalopnik is to automotive journalism, as Crocs are to fashion.
