Tell that to everyone in youtube and facebook, they seem to think it is. And wait until they learn it won't be as cheap as a lot of them are expecting either
The youtube and facebook comments are cancerous lmao. These people are so out of touch with this stuff. Between the "is this a DCT?" and "the Z is going to smoke that bmw Supra" I fight the urge to say anything. It's pointless to say anything to them cause like 90% of the comments are from people with cars that are slower than both the Z and the Supra ?

A few things:

- It appears the car has notable understeer.
- The seat does a good job holding the big guy in place.
- Not one comment on how the car was responding? WTF
- Can we a get POV from the second blue Z? That was the more enthused driver. ?
- They need to send a car to the guys at Throttle House

-RJM
Check weight for understeer. This is not a good performance chassis based on the weight and weight distribution alone. So the auto it slow. But possibly faster than the manual still. Not impressed. Back in Germany. The Supra is sold here but not the Z = No loss LOL. :)

Nobody was really pushing it, and still the tire squeal, crazy body roll, understeer, and sluggish AT. Guess we'll see more at meets than tracks, based on this video.
It was noted earlier that the car lacks tires of a good width given the power. Its a GT and Nissan stated so. Track ready maybe the Nismo. Im certain waiting the list will be a mile long for that. The last 370Z Nismo had not so good brakes.

I kinda have a built-in assumption that most of these comments are from dudes driving Altimas. I don't know what it is about Altimas but my car seems to attract guys who thrash them so hard

It's not just you. Our cars "attract" the Altima/G crowd like flies to sh....haha

Man, y'all sure are extrapolating a lot from a video of Farah's face lmao. I'll wait til the embargo lifts before coming to any conclusions; other than the fact that this VR sounds better than a GT-R, but still sounds like a vacuum cleaner. Oh and the front fascia on these cars is not very nice.
Front is just tough to like on this car. Better from other angles yes.

Not a fan of the styling......at all. And that's a shame because I've always loved the styling of the Z cars, pretty much every generation.
The 370Z was an attractive car. They tried to capture too much 'heritage' at once in this style. Yes its good we have new sportscars. Does not mean we will all like them equally lol

ngl, what the Supra did to that Z was fucked up. I'm all for Supras winning Super GT, but not in this fashion. Yeah maybe he didn't do it intentionally because perception of speed varies from first person to third person but still...

I'd like to think he didn't do that on purpose, but was trying to slipstream and realized late he was going significantly slower.

Yeah i know, that's why i said maybe it wasn't intentional, but i hope next time he realizes earlier when a car went from being a dot becoming almost full size VERY fast, he makes his adjustment swiftly so we don't see a crash train happen behind him. Poor Z and driver. It would've been an interesting showdown between the Z and the Supra sandwich he was stuck in.
