Pricing the new Z above M2 is just absurd.
There are debates as the new Nismo Z is priced above base M2, even more when compared to Supra ($56k for base 3.0) and Mustang Dark Horse ($60k), and within spitting distant to a C8 corvette. Hell, I can even get a used GT350.

And that stupid 9 speed auto, while much better than our Z34’s 7at, is not good enough to rival the ZF 8 speed.

Then we have the speaker playing engine sound…

It’s a tough sell. It doesn’t stand out in any category, nor is it a great all-around car in any objective measure. Can’t go the “raw experience route either, automatic plus tame engine and exhaust sound. Sigh. Sorry OP. Back to the M2.
