Nissan Z vs Toyota Supra

[AJRMKV]

10k more and still a second behind

Something not right w m2 lap? Should be faster

On top of this, when the Supra beat the M2 they both had RE71.

This M2 had PS4S iirc and the Z has 200tw tires

I don’t see why people expected the BMW M2 to be faster? It gained weight and has been shown to be a worse performer to the Supra (and Caddy CT4-V Blackwing also). It did what it was supposed to do, beat it’s predecessor. The Z was rather surprising, good on them but also not something I would want due to lack of manual.

How about how little the Ford Mustang Darkhorse out performed the previous generation Mach 1? Proves to me just how little effort Ford did in trying to make a better sports car. I think with proper tires and maybe some different compound brake pads the manual Supra could likely hang with the Darkhorse, that’s without adding any power.

I noticed that the narrator mentioned that the Nismo differential had overheated and blew out fluid through its vent and onto the exhaust pipe. It looks like our diffs are not the only ones that act up.

Riding on grippier tires and still slower than the Supra . 2 fatass overweight cars.

There you go. Weight, weight, weight… Hard to get around that elephant in the room. Ever watch boxing or UFC? The lightweight guys are nimble as hell. The big boyEEs pack a big punch but much slower. I don’t look at the dark horse or even M2 in the same class as a Lotus, S2K, or MX5. I originally thought of our Supra in the same class. Then you look at weight again, drive the car and it’s no surprise. You can feel the difference in a Supra vs those heavier cars. Especially if you turn the wheel at higher speeds

I hope Toyota does something with the GRMN version to get the car into the 2:40s. At minimum, Toyota needs to beat the Dark Horse.

Too bad C&D didn't bring a 2024 8AT. The suspension tweaks on the 23 made a huge difference, the 8AT alone should be worth at least another second and better tires should recover another 2-3 seconds.

They need to post all times with ONE professional driver. Like Top Gear used to do w Stig. These guys are amateurs, do not believe they have any racing or competition experience. More importantly multiple people should NOT be posting times on same list.

Not surprisingly, the Toyota Supra did extremely well.

What a great honest find! Just shows what can be done (and said) if not being influenced by sponsors. It’s things we all know. The Porsche kids down here love it! She punches so far above her weight (price).

I just can't wait for the day that people can order direct from manufacturer and you only need to go in and pick your car up or have it delivered to your door.

Dealerships that do this markup crap totally disgust me especially when we are already in an era currently with such high prices and nothing looks to be slowing down that pretty soon there won't be nearly as many car enthusiasts out there because they just will not be affordable to most people which is extremely unfortunate.

I know I’ve said this before, it’s great to see people are finally comparing the Nissan Z to its ACTUAL Toyota rival, the 86.

Haha yep. And I'd take the 86, in a heartbeat over the Z.
