2024 Nissan Z Nismo Revealed with 420 HP / 384 LB-FT + Auto Transmission Only

here is the reality. this is from autoweek....

But we really can't complain. In the current market it's a miracle that any carmaker is still selling sports cars. So far this year Nissan has sold only 996 Zs in the U.S. Compare that to almost 150,000 Rogue compact crossovers in the same time period. Nissan blames at least some of the slow sales on remnants of the chip supply problem. But larger than that is the market's obsession with crossover utility vehicles like the Rogue.

The closest competitor, the BMW-based Toyota Supra, brought in almost 5000 sales last year and is on track to move over 3000 this year.

Also it quoted the following:
Nissan execs said that owners they spoke with wanted faster laps times with a Z NISMO, and the fastest lap time came from the automatic.

so who are they talking too? truthful for tracking an auto is easier and faster, not as much fun, but it is.
