New savagegeese review of 2020 370Z

[analogman]

This might already have been posted elsewhere (I couldn't find it), savagegeese recently did a review of the 2020 370Z 50th Anniversary Edition (though their comments apply to all 370Z's generally). I think he's one of the best reviewers out there (even though most of this test was done by some new guy, maybe an associate or an intern?):

Jack Singapore? He's been on the channel multiple times.

I agree with most of the review tbh

[OptionZero]

Love his reviews, incredibly detailed and honest, with a practical big picture perspective


And the key point which I've said before:
Buy it used, save thousands, be happy

[Ventruck]

He was a bit of a boo-boo when he drove the Nismo a while back, as if he just wanted a reason to complain about something. He does acknowledge that he is warming up to it when accounting for the broader view of the car industry.

Jack isn't horrible, but the moments he studders or misspeaks kinda seem out of place in an otherwise typically very well-composed savagegeese video. It's also weird when he talks about what a car can do but it's not exemplified...like an armchair race car driver of sorts.

Like he said he was going to "light up the tires" in his LC500 review, and did the exact opposite. I don't know if it was a cut/footage issue, or that's some very dry sarcastic humor. I'm not trying to go on a tangent here, or hate on the guy, but I haven't really looked to Jack or savagegeese as a wholesome resource. They touch on some key things and have awesome production value, but the takeaway does nothing for giving me an impression on a car. The Straight Pipes seem to give a better sense of how a car is in reality even though they're hardly technical and literally use a single corner for a performance baseline.

I really don't like the red & white.

The Dude in the comments nails it!

Everyone: I wish they still made a simple, affordable, reliable sports car with enough horsepower and not to much tech. A manual gearbox is a must.

Nissan: 370z

Everyone: eeeewwww! It’s old and simple and doesn’t have enough tech!

Because cost matters. $35k for a stock, new Z is a terrible buy, $45k for a new nismo is even dumber

Trim ten grand or more from cost on a used one? Much more reasonable

I can say the same thing about 95% of the sports cars out there today.

How’s $60,000 to $100,000 for a new Supra with no manual gearbox.

45k for nismo. 60k for base supra or 75k ish for top trim

Hmmm i would get the m2 comp with a stick at that price. Atleast its not trying to be a bimmer

Base Supra is $49K, Premium $53K and Launch Edition is $55K (red seats, red mirrors and forged 19s)... add all the extras and you'd maybe be around $60K

I don't care what the price is, it's 100% ugly. No deal.

Your not counting the “dealer availability” tax. I’ve seen them advertised for anywhere $70,000 to $200,000.

I can buy TWO C8’s or one Ferrari for that kind of scratch.
