nope. got the type s because I need the rear seats.

If I didn't, I'd shop the Supra.

I agree.

Z does have double-wishbone going for it. Pretty rare at this price these days.

Meh what good is double wishbone if it’s not optimized and set up correctly

from what I’ve heard. A tuned z with full bolt ons and tires still runs laps slower than a bone stock zf8 mk5 Supra. The Supra is a macpherson too

Nissan needs to invest in the z’s chassis and suspension some more imo

This. They slapped a turbo, a new skin and updated a few interior bits from the original 350z (basically slapped on a screen). I owned a manual 370, and a manual G35 coupe, and while I liked the cars, the ITS is far more engaging to drive. The transmission in Nissans is meh.

The only issue with them is the suspension geo. Otherwise for balance they're solid.

Just like the Zs that came before it, it will need stiffer springs and corrected geo for better tire options and it will run fast times. The original 350 and then updated 370 chassis were leagues better than a lot else at the time. They got the name baby cayman for a reason. They were capable of more power then and many track oriented builds have run 400whp+ reliably.

Their Achilles heel has always been oil temps and beating up the diff. As long as oiling and driveline heat are addressed, should be a fine platform. I dunno about the new steering though. I just prefer hydraulic... Fluid boil and all.

I’d rather an M2 over this; far more capable.

I’ve also heard horror stories from GTR owners with Nissan techs. I would never buy anything more than an econo-box from that brand.
