SavageGeese's video highlighting the new external clutch slave, clutch based diff, improved steering feel despite EPS, and improved cooling make me feel better about the car

I'd re-evaluate upgrading in a few years, after we see the Nismo, since i wouldn't need to re-buy all the suspension stuff
The last several reviews of the 370z by Savage Geese have been pretty brutal - the one I remember is him not even reviewing it but having his cohost do the review (bc the platform is so old).

So I was honestly expecting him to trash the new Z - especially after some of the more brutal reviews of the new Z. Instead he really liked it especially compared to the Supra. It was definitely interesting and kinda gives credit to what you are saying - do some fixes to the suspension and you have a really good daily that you can take to the track if you want to.

I'm sure everyone saw the video where they tested the Z to the Supra and did a quick couple of laps in the GT86 as well to compare all three cars - and in this vid - Savage Geese winded up putting on the same tires for both the Supra and the Z and tires make a difference - not enough if you are chasing numbers.

If you haven't - worth a watch:
