Sofyan is the only car reviewer that I don’t need to watch on 2x speed cause he stays coming at you with the stats with the swiftness. Pretty impressive really.
Beautiful machine! engine sounds sweet ,the nismo front end looks hella better and it accelerates like a beast.. The auto tranny shift more than quick enough for me...I'd be thrilled with it but for most people its beyond being even remotely affordable
I'm glad NISSAN did NOT just superglue glue screens to the dash!!...They actually intergrated the screens into the dashboard w/ some actual design!....Good Job NISSAN!
Sorry but gouging consumers an extra $20k for twenty extra horsepower and locking them into the nine speed automatic is a huge disservice to the car's fans. This isn't the affordable sports car from the seventies but neither is gouging enthusiasts for twenty grand and insulting their sense of automotive value
Do you actually have any idea how much parts for a car like this cost? The upgrades from the standard Z go beyond just the "extra 20 hp" The car is a huge upgrade from the standard model, and anyone who has driven it agrees. To today's economic standards, 20k actually sounds right on the money
@IScoreUnderPressure4 Lots of C8s listed at discounts across the country right now. There are over 2500 of them at dealer lots, thats A LOT for an enthusiast car! For comparison, there are 800 or so Miatas new at dealers, just over 150 Supras, and just over 100 BRZs... If a Chevy dealer isn't willing to deal, you can just point at any of the other 2500 and say you will shop elsewhere. And if they say now, shop elsewhere and get a deal :P
While i agree on the key being the same as my previous 07 and now my 11 Infiniti, it really doesn’t matter if you’re already into the Nissan family, you learn to live with it cause the driving is what matters most imo 😆. Still 67k is too overpriced. 58-60 max would’ve been more reasonable and even then it’s still expensive compared to it’s main rival.
I saw one last week. LA. Dark grey color. I've seen a few base models running around too. Not as common as other sportscars but people are paying the dealer markups for these.
I have not seen one of these cars on the road since its inception. Car looks great, though. On a different note, I have not seen any Integra Type S either. Price is to blame.
Pointing out that the HVAC controls “look like they were pulled from an Infiniti from 10-15 years ago” is just silly. They’re just HVAC controls. They work, so why redesign knobs for no reason? Would we rather them be knobs or touch? Come on now. Also, criticizing a shifter is silly. It works and you’ll be using the paddles anyways.
The jatco unit is a licensed variation of the Merc 9G tronic series trans tho. Moderate alterations done to it better suit the Z, but it's the same trans
Not offering a manual in the top version is just... dumb. I know modern auto's can shift quicker than a person can, blah blah blah... but numbers aren't everything. A lot of enthusiasts love the interaction with the car that only a manual gives, and this car SHOULD offer one.
Not only that....the average person is not taking their car to the track that often enough for it to matter. True car enthusiasts want manuals, period.
Way overpriced for what it is. Last year and early this year you could have gotten a camaro ss 1le for $15,000 less than a Nismo Z. Camaro also puts significantly faster lap times as a track car 🤔
This would be an interesting car at $40,000. For $67,000 it is just too expensive. The new Tesla Model 3 Performance is less than $55K and has 615 HP and does 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds. The Tesla has the same range(313 miles) as this car. With the tax credits some people are getting the Model 3 Performance for less than $47,000. You can do a lot with $20,000 worth of mods on the Tesla to get it to handle better than this car.
BMW has made better performance cars than Nissan or Toyota for years , and this slow, old, overpriced Nissan with a transmission from one of the most unreliable brands youll want over the faster better performing Supra that you can get with a manual thats way cheaper than this ...its no surprise car companies build more crossovers and less sports cars because the people thst actually buy cars arent the same idiots doing reviews on TH-cam and social media that would buy this over a better car.....
Nissan should learn from Dodge. Drop the most powerful GTR engine in this Z..and watch people drool all over. One Hope Nissan keeps tuning the Z to get it faster….that's how German car manufacturers lure customers to buy.
I definitely love the “exclusivity” factor of my Nismo. I’ve only ever seen one other Z Nismo in my area and I’m friends with the owner. I’ve seen more Cybertrucks (4) than any of the newer Z’s.
Overpriced is the key . The Z and Nismo is very expensive for what you get and the good looking one . If you just want a good looking one your screwed buying the base model with the ugly front end . Having to overpay for a car that doesnt compete well in segment for $ is a drag . Sticking regular buyers with the bad front end is a drag . The base Z should have the non ugly front end even it it doesnt have the better wheels , components and BADGING . If you are gonna re use an old platform and upgrade it to save money you should give the buyer the best styling which is where the car CAN shine as the designers did a good job capturing the shape of the origanal 240 as a modern car but dropped the ball on the base car with the weird front clip . They obviously did this knowingly as they fix it on the way overpriced version . The Nismo can have all the badging , stickers , plaques , body trim and spoliers or whatever but having to spend to get the correct nose on car is a shitty choice . At lesst make the base car look cool and give it the right look .
And the last gen fully loaded nismo was ... 48-52? about anyways here in Canada. The inflation is absolutely crazy in cars. Like im shocked people arent complaining more with how much more these cars have gone. Even a loaded Civic is 40k these days lol. Guess the days of 500 car payments are gone..People spending 800 a month for 84 mos lol.
@@jdfoster23 groceries rent vehicles … not long ago 30$ per hr was a decent job. Now 2 people making that barely make a go. They really are trying to wipe out the lower and lower middle classes . And people just aren’t seeing the big picture.
I love that fact its all Japan ( not Nissan as Nissan quality has gone bonk over the years), and its simple - ish , very sad it not manual or a simple version of the GTR Trans, a poor humans GTR, a Honda Civic Type R is around $45K, ..$70K for this is kinda $$$$ .... wait for a used one or the market to crash
You can get a C8 for this price with a DCT, nearly 500 hp, and ungoverned up to 190 mph+. I just don't see Nissan surviving past 2030. No one buys this except previous Z enthusiasts and most of them will opt for the C8 too.
I’ve seen like one Z on the road in SoCal in the last few months. One. Who the hell is driving a Z? Dealers are killing the enthusiast market. I’ve seen plenty of Supras and BMw M cars though.
I just got a Slate Grey version here in Australia... I actually sold my Corvette Stingray C8 for AUD$200k and bought the Nismo Z for half the price. But's not half the car....
my neighbor just bought one of these. and my god for the price, what a horrible decision. the performance you get with for the price you pay is mind blowing. you can buy a lot of new v8s for much less and have so much money to modify them which would blow this thing out of the water. and still have money left over
I enjoyed the review! I'd love to have purchased this car but the price is just too high. I went with a black performance model Z with the red/black interior. I Love the car, no complaints whatsoever. Going up to $65K was just not worth it to me. I'll try to trade mine in a few years from now to try to get a 2024 nismo. It should be more affordable after a few years & miles are on a used one.
Beautiful car but why would I spend $ 80,000 dollars and track it? I own a 2010 Nissan 370z all stock and I don't track it nor beat on it. Its a car that I enjoy and love driving. I see a lot of Z’s on the road that are beat up.
Lmao. Holy crap!!! Over 60K for 20 HP more. No power seats, no power steering column controls,no manual trans, NOTHING!!! Can’t make this stuff up. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Nissan really missed the mark with this car. Turbos?? Really? WTF Over? 11 years ago Nissan came out with a performance Hybrid with an electric boost motor mated to that excellent V6; and it was amazing. Now, they went with these LOW-Performance turbos! Why? What it needs is a 100 HP electric boost motor to greatly improve the performance. Yeah, they are going backwards.
The updated front end looks great as does the rest of the styling with the Z performance failing to impress in the styling department. Nissan does the Nismo thing to perfection with all the small improvements to the vehicle really adding up to an awesome car. The lack of a manual transmission is not a concern for me in the NISMO with the updated nine speed automatic transmission tuned to near perfection obviously. And the performance figures are on the money with a zero to sixty time of 4 seconds and a quarter mile time of 12.5 seconds. The car is definitely more than the sum of it's parts and oozes charisma good job Nissan. In all honesty if Nissan put the same front end styling as the NISMO on the normal Z and stiffened up the suspension slightly they would have a winner. 😎🇦🇺👍
Its crazy that a 2020 Z Nizmo was $46k brand new. That was just 4 years ago and this thing starts for $20k more??? Parts sharing with the old car, same engine as the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport and only some newer body panels and a new dash!! Ridiculous!!!!
Sorry but for 66k this is a WASTE of money!!! The interior screams cheap and tacky plastics. Nothing about it says “sporty” it just looks like it was thrown together with random parts from Altima’s and Rogues and you can get sooooooo much more for the money at 66k it’s insane. If I see these on the road I’ll just laugh at whatever schmuk wasted their money on this POS
The Z will go down as one of the most botched product rollouts in automotive history. Nissan took an ICON and took a giant shit on that legacy. It's mostly vaporware, the dealers that happen to have one are ADM clowns, multiple stop sales, and underperforms vs. the competition. Sofyan's dig at the Supra is legit but futile...the MkV and its B58 runs rings around these tubs. A complete joke from top to bottom.
Look forward to your at home Ranger Raptor review whenever that comes. I'm getting a shelter green (the color I wanted) allocation built in july and should be getting it in August, and would love to hear what you think, good or bad. Then see for myself :)
The dealer close to me asking $30000 over sticker so they are asking $100000 unbelievable And you were saying 67,000 was too much so what about 100,000
All 300ZX cars have T-tops. This car is too ugly and too heavy to wear the ZX badge. Only a teenager would want this car. A Nissan GT only weighs 100 pounds more with AWD and 600hp. Major problem is the 10 inch wide rear tires, no traction. It needs wider rear wheels. A Dodge Viper with 450hp has 13 inch wide rear wheels, and a 400hp Z has 10. Traction control is also slowing the car down so you don't spin 10 inch tires at 90mph. Cargo area has no spare tire for long road trips. If you get a flat tire in New Mexico you got to leave your car, and travel 300 miles to buy a new tire. Then call insurance and report your car stolen.
An SS 1LE sounds better, handles better, is faster in a straightline, has more space, better manual transmission, costs tens of thousands less, based on a platform that is a decade newer, EPA rated for better mpg, way better suspension setup for daily driving and track use because it uses magnetic ride control, and even visbikty is better (shocker ik). Looks wise both are tied for me. I love the pre facelift front end and facelift rear end of the Camaro 6th gen whereas the new Z is great from the side and rear but it's front is just okay
I don’t understand this car. First it’s been advertised for more than few years since the prototype and it took forever before it was available to the public. And then I’m assuming the sales numbers are very poor because you don’t see this car anywhere. I don’t know how many reviews I’ve seen for this car and yet it’s s nowhere to be found on the streets The mystery car
I want to love the Nismo, but the meager 20 hp gain which is negated by the added weight is a bummer. Wish it would’ve been 500 hp…otherwise the enhanced brakes, suspension, and wheels is a welcomed upgrade.

Damn, crazy to think my old 2015 C7 Z06 is still lighter than this car when it's longer, wider and has a bigger engine

The problem is I can get a M2 that will spank the Nismo Z. Also the S58 engine has been solid so far.
The dealer close to me asking $30000 over sticker so they are asking $100000 unbelievable
And you were saying 67,000 was too much so what about 100,000
It a sweet ride but it kinda over my budget so I’m just gonna have to stick with my 2014 370 touring model beside it been payoff 4 years ago ✌🏽
Love your reviews on gas vehicles. So knowledgeable.
All 300ZX cars have T-tops. This car is too ugly and too heavy to wear the ZX badge. Only a teenager would want this car. A Nissan GT only weighs 100 pounds more with AWD and 600hp. Major problem is the 10 inch wide rear tires, no traction. It needs wider rear wheels. A Dodge Viper with 450hp has 13 inch wide rear wheels, and a 400hp Z has 10. Traction control is also slowing the car down so you don't spin 10 inch tires at 90mph. Cargo area has no spare tire for long road trips. If you get a flat tire in New Mexico you got to leave your car, and travel 300 miles to buy a new tire. Then call insurance and report your car stolen.
This isn’t worth a penny over 50k even fully loaded. They’ve lost their minds.
That key fob is older than the wheel at this point. lol
Cool car though. Too expensive for what it is IMO, but I wouldn't kick one outta my garage.
Looks mean as hell in that black!!😈
$67k for this? FOH
Yeah at that point im buying a ZL1
Absolutely Zero! Wow Factor... couldn't be any duller and basic inside and out. Might have seen 1 or 2 on the road since they came out.
An SS 1LE sounds better, handles better, is faster in a straightline, has more space, better manual transmission, costs tens of thousands less, based on a platform that is a decade newer, EPA rated for better mpg, way better suspension setup for daily driving and track use because it uses magnetic ride control, and even visbikty is better (shocker ik). Looks wise both are tied for me. I love the pre facelift front end and facelift rear end of the Camaro 6th gen whereas the new Z is great from the side and rear but it's front is just okay
😢
Nice car but man extra money for only 20hp and the facts it don’t got a manual is a dealbreaker for me.
I don’t understand this car. First it’s been advertised for more than few years since the prototype and it took forever before it was available to the public. And then I’m assuming the sales numbers are very poor because you don’t see this car anywhere. I don’t know how many reviews I’ve seen for this car and yet it’s s nowhere to be found on the streets
The mystery car
not even worth the price tag
I want to love the Nismo, but the meager 20 hp gain which is negated by the added weight is a bummer. Wish it would’ve been 500 hp…otherwise the enhanced brakes, suspension, and wheels is a welcomed upgrade.
Gee did Nissan fix the terrible transmission on the Z that every other reviewer complains about? 🤔
Why not a manual for nissmo.. they shoud have improved the suspension to the base model. I love the look of it, but missing manual .. nah.
i've had 5 zees...240,260, 2x 280zx and 300zxTT all great cars i love a go with this. shame no manual though
Hopefully Nissan will offer a manual with the NISMO.
$55k cool
$65k is a stretch
I like this generation of Z-car. Maybe not in black, but still better than that horrendous yellow!
These cars bombed here in Canada. Only ever seen one, looked so plain.. This one looks good though. For a lot less moneys..
That color looks sick blacked out
Hey what's nice Nissan nismo it's nice but the color it's definitely difficult to keep it clean 😮😢
Sweet shirt!
damn this z is so fxxking ugly i swear i rather buy an s15 silvia or r34 skyline
I like the the Nissan/ Infiniti platform very fast cars however I'm not a fan of this shape
Looks like a damn Porsche, previous two looked better in my opinion 😄
