S650 vs RZ34 (Nissan Z)

[Kevi]

And a tuned ecoboost couldn't beat a tuned 400Z. Its not that the Z is a bad car, its that the market is ever shrinking and the Z offers nothing to differentiate itself from the competition.

The mustang has a V8, the GR86 and Miata have a low-tech and nanny experience alongside a low entry price, and both the supra and their BMW counterparts have performance.

The Z is far too compromised for most people to buy, that's just the reality.

And if we want to leverage that Z cars used to be faster than corvettes, I specifically remember that the Z32 was considered a pig due to its high weight. It was also very expensive, and certainly not faster than the ZR1, which cost about the same.

If anything, the new Z is just carrying the torch of the original 240/60/80 and 350/370, and its doing a fine job of it, albeit in an ever shrinking enviroment.

It's wild how they went from selling hundreds of thousands of z cars to men who would tune and race them, to selling a just a few thousand, mostly to female real estate agents.

Its a sad thought.

The Z32 is also an unbelievably sexy car. Those headlights are so aggressive

It is very sad. I have owned many Nissans, mostly SUVs, and I think they make a very good vehicle. My 350Z was a great car except for the tire feathering but Nissan screwed the pooch on the new Z! Glenn

My last was a 2010 frontier and it was a sad little truck. Very low tech, very unremarkable in every aspect. I did have an 83 280z back in the day and I loved that thing.
