Back in a Z once again.

For sure, one of the independent tests weighed the car, it’s a bit over 3600lbs. Not light by any means. It’s been dynoed independently as well and it makes 380ftlbs at the wheels on 91 and 354 whp. On 93 it’d be even more, apparently quite a bit if the Nismo engineers are to be believed.

Nismo engineers said they could drop a manual trans into the car no problem, it wouldn’t require any special changes. They said it’d be noticeably slower though, the transmission is one of the highlights of this car. It’s totally designed around performance and faster lap times.

They mentioned that if 5he car sells well and there’s enough demand for it, we will likely see a m/t Z Nismo at some point.

I’m personally hoping for an extra saucy RS version at the end of the model run to give a big send off to what is likely to be the last non hybrid gas powered Z.

Does the Trans feel like a DCT?

I can’t give a really good review of the 9a/t in the Z Nismo vs our old DQ500 7spd DSG (DCT) in the TT RS since we’re still breaking in the Z and haven’t been over 3k rpm’s yet or gone out of normal mode.

However, even in regular normal mode easy driving, it downshifts noticeably aggressive when coming to a stop. It was actually kinda surprising, we weren’t expecting that. Bodes well for future
