Nissan Z vs Toyota Supra

[Xproplayer]

I'm jealous of the turbo stats still of the Z

It is, but once again they're just harping on the tires like that's the real problem. I don't recall a single review of the Supra complaining about its tires, yet with the Z it seems to be the only thing they can talk about, despite the Z's tires being better than the Supra's. It's almost like the tires aren't the actual problem, they're just a convenient scape goat.

Huh, I didn’t read it that way.

I read that it’s a 6/10ths kinda car - and that’s not something stickier tires fix.

The OG 86 had shite tires and is hilarious fun. My nearly dead PSS on the Supra are only still on because (here in the PNW) we’ve been getting so much rain, it allows me to explore the chassis’s excellent weight balance and refined engineering (aka slide it with exceptional control anywhere I want). Ja ja, PS4S *spec are on the way.

I love the 240 and the 300ZX. The rest weren’t my particular cup o’ tea. Kudos to Nissan for building such wide-eyed enthusiasm in their “community” that people are willing to overlook the car’s inherent flaws, I guess.

And hey, my first car was An OG Sentra SE-R, so it’s not like I’m a hater. Then again, that car was light and balanced - kinda the FWD 86 of its day.

Been reading through the thread and before I even started I KNEW it would be the “because_murica” guy posting the most. That guy has had the most active mouth on that forum since the initial review by Camisa and hasn’t shut up since then.

I would always take the supra

Well, my first encounter was with this one today, and it surprised me quite a bit. In person, it is a much more attractive car and has a good elegant balance to it. The metallic paint was very well done, and it seemed quite larger than the A90 even though not by much. The owner was really cool, and we traded stories of our past Z’s (basically all gens), him still owning the 350 and me still having the visor Mr. K signed at Blackhawk during it’s unveiling. His is one of the only two here, and 1 of 240 or so Prototype spec. I can only hope more owners will be like this guy.

Ok 3 pages of comments. Most are well, its a daily, its a car to get until the Nismo. Its obvious the balloon has deflated in Z - Town.

The few still preaching are reaching. Tires and 2 sec delusions.

Again its just what Nissan is able to do with a limited budget. Nice car but not worth at all nearly 50k or some idiotic dealer markup. Its a GT and soft at that given the competition. Given the speed difference auto to auto - a 2.0 with the better interior and equipment/tech is almost as fast and a much better balanced ride/drive.

Gotta keep that same energy man, that’s what it’s all about. So many damn excuses coming up about this Z. It’s like I said before, all of a sudden everyone is becoming the “based in reality car enthusiast“ talking about how the test don’t mean anything because nobody ever drives like that in real life. Same people who will sit up in comment sections bench racing like a mug and arguing “auto is faster” etc are now all “eh, it’s good enough for the street” get outta here.

The car and driver review just out is kind of brutal.

I've just stopped going to that forum. That dude's been pulling at any single straw he sees to make some sort of noise because all the data that's been released shows the Supra is the better sports car.

Yeah it’s mildly ridiculous I remember him commenting when they did the first test. Constant mouth running.

Interesting read - further exposes the parts bin patch work design. Nose heavy, easily upset in terms of stability. Re-badged, reskinned Infiniti Coupe'

Some Michelin Pilot Sports, the absolute best tire known to man would solve that no problem.

This thing would fit right in with the American land yachts from the past.
