    I cross shopped the Z, the Supra and the ND3. I really like the new Z. In fact, I like driving it better than the Supra. The Supra felt very remote and digital and the interior is very BMW. I would rather get a Z4. Modern BMWs feel like a video game to drive. I probably would have bought the Z but I seriously hated the shifter, clutch and steering feel. Both the Z and Supra are fast, heavy, decent handling GT cars. The MX-5 on the other hand is a no BS sports car. Not nearly as fast as those others in a straight line but there aren't many cars made that can hang with an ND3 in the canyons where HP means very little. That's exactly what I really wanted. For me, it's just way more fun to drive 90% of the time. I bought a 2024 MX-5 GT and I just absolutely love it.

      I think the Z4 feels different than the Supra. Supra is more raw compared to the Z4. Z4 is more comfortable. Going with a Supra hopefully before next spring.

    Great video, unfortunately, if you want to turbo charge the ND mx5 like I did you have to have the first or the second version because of the ECU's tunability, but it's a rocket now and with the high compression it builds 5-6 psi of boost immediately and feels more like a supercharger.

    I'm in Australia. Ran a 1.5 ND (with limited slip diff in Aus) for six years and 85,000 miles it was perfect. Have a new 2 litre ND 3 on order for Jan 25 delivery, as it will most likely be the last of its type. I tried the Z car, but it felt like driving a truck compared to the Miata. The weight difference is something that sticks in the throat for every single mile. Do you agree? You'd still have your Miata over anything else?

    • @QueTheChaotic
      @QueTheChaotic  Місяць тому

    just drove a nd2 at car max man loved sliding it and revving it and the noise was great it had a roadstesport exhaust on ! im coming from a 981 cayman manual. Also i prefer the soft top comparison imo soft top is better for track(roll bar fits) and less weight means less brakes needed anyway. Ill probably buy and NB miata for cheap but the nd is the dream for me. I thought the nd2 was a fast car, everyone saying miata are slow had me expecting a much slower car. I actually want a slower car as crazy as it sounds. The Z i feel like has better competitors like the Supra for more cash or used or the 86 for less at different prices. or mustang with another taste.

    The problem with high performance manual cars is that they're geared to pass California noise pollution regulation tests. So if you wanna floor it up to the speed limit, banging through the gears, you get exactly one shift, since the long-ass 2nd gear takes you up to like 110 mph.

    As always a great review. I really wanted to like the Z. Thought about trading my Camaro for one. But it’s just not compelling enough. I’m more tempted by a Miata for sure. Mazdas are just so connected to the road. Nobody does steering or handling like them.

    I don't think the Z competes well with the Supra. Supra has more power down low instantly, better shifter, full leather rather than the plastic cloth in the Z, Supra has adaptive suspension, better tech and beats the Z on the track. Z has fuel starvation on the track too, even the Nismo. It is an interesting car and I do like the retro look and blue interior if it was blue leather like the M4 offers.
