Modern journalism:

Strange times indeed when anonymous forum posters can be used as automotive news sources. I don’t doubt the poster may have somehow got inside information but it’s still unconfirmed and for that to be spun into automotive news articles is a little much.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I wouldn't exactly call anything on driving.ca journalism, so it checks out.
I know, right!!?!
"On this the 31st day of March, 2021 the MightiestPenIs doth declared to a forum of generally cantankerous pricks that the new Nissan Z will be sold for a price not less than 224,000 Danish Krone and will be offered in one colour, only. That colour will be Salmon Ejaculate."
Be it so.
Is that coho salmon or Atlantic Salmon? The ejaculate is visibly different.

Not so sure, especially at our altitude. Mustangs and Camaros may have 450HP+ but they weigh in at 3700lbs+ and are naturally aspirated and at 3400' above sea level that's significant. I'm definitely looking forward to driving one of these.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

They are a bunch faster than the supra and m2, and I doubt the nissan is faster than either of those. I guess that doesn't take into account the elevation as you mentioned.

I was more so comparing it to the regular Mustang GT and Camaro SS than the PP2 and 1LE as those are some mighty track focused packages for both cars, if there's ever a NISMO version of the new Z that would be a more apples to apples comparison. Tires are going to be huge in the lap times, remember the PP2 gets Sport Cup 2's whereas the Supra gets PS4S's, as does the M2 (I think).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I believe Supra’s and M2’s are factory equipped with the old PSS tires.
I wish Nissan would go back to making sexy cars that look exotic such as the 300zx. 350z, 370z, 400z all have that bubbly, squished compact look that is about as visually appealing as a VW bug. I'm guessing modern crash standards don't allow such designs anymore.
The 300ZX was during the era of peak Nissan. Not likely to ever see that again.

Most Nissans at that time were very competitive, and the z32 was a glorious car. (Imo, one of the best cars of that era). Even their other offerings were right on par with the competition. Then they made the GTR, and immediately thereafter decided they succeeded in reaching their apex and were now done with making anything worthwhile.
Shame to see what was once a revered nameplate crumble into making fleet vehicles.

I think the 300ZX was bloated and lacked aggressive styling, particularly compared to the 350Z but I guess it's just an opinion thing. It took rice to make those 300zx cars look good with super aggressive wheels and lowering.
Their VQ35 was put in fuckin near every vehicle they produced at some point so I'd imagine the spare parts world is comparable (not literally) to small block Chevy. The engine can put out 450hp on stock internals, so I don't see why the company takes so much abuse on this particular forum.
Is there a particularly terrible Nissan dealer in Calgary that has pissed in a lot of Corn Flakes?
