Yup agreed. 10k more for the performance is too much. You can do wheels/tires, a proper LSD, and an akebono brake upgrade for less than the 10k extra you’d pay for the performance spec. And those upgrades to the base will outperform the performance model anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definitely. Everyone. Go buy a Supra. You don't want this garbage. It's slow, fat, ugly. In fact, go buy an inline 4 Supra. Like right now. And buy yourself a Subaru too.

The lies they pitched to Doug here (and he can tell)
Start at 19:55 They literally told him the outlet is there for a radar detector? The traction control button... The parking brake.... More reasons why you don't want to buy this car. At all. |

Don’t forget the black roof and that HUUUUUUGE fuel filler door! Deal breaker!

IMHO, if it doesn’t excite me on first impression, I’m not going to be persuaded by any reviews…… I just don’t like the looks of the new Z.

Side note, I think it's funny how all the cons Doug mentioned for the new Z were all the things I had fixed/improved on my 370. Makes me feel proud lol |

So, after watching way too many videos....
I’m leaning towards the Auto. I’m kinda burnt on the rowing gears thing after 50+ years. I know this is one of the major selling points of this car, but after looking at the performance of the manual? Meh.... I guess what I’m saying is “been there, done that”. I TOTALLY get why today’s yute wants a manual. I’m just thinking I’m getting to be that age... Back in the day when I walked 4 miles to school, in the snow, uphill, both ways, a manual was really all you had. Unless you wanted a slush box, which really was that bad! I still have fond memories of my 1980 ZX with a five speed and I can’t really believe I’m thinking of crossing over to the dark side, but... PS: Get off my lawn!!!

most of the videos i watched said the auto was pretty terrible, especially compared the fantastic ZF in the direct competitor.
EDIT: actually now that i look for it, i can't find which videos ragged on the auto, but there were at least 2 that said it shifted pretty slowly. Last edited by SeeThruHead; 05-17-2022 at 06:08 PM. |

One review was a full second behind in 0-60 with the manual. Maybe it’s just not having enough time with a clutch? My wife knows how to drive a manual but refuses to. Pretty sure she’d drive it if it was an auto, but that’s not something I care to entertain.
