      it depends, I think the Nissan is the better one, but the supra is better in everyway besides being a BMW. There is more overhead in the supra, for anyone who is interested in modifying. Most importantly is that the engine is very good for tuning. The block can handle 600hp with the stock turbo just fine and could go past 1000hp with better parts. The twin turbo VR30in the Z, its starts to get dicey if you upgrade the turbo and push it past 600hp. This info is according to the tuners at AMS performance. Despite this, I would choose the Z over the supra probably but in my opinion it's not the better car. I don't think anyone who cares about having the highest numbers on paper will mind paying several thousand extra for much more performance

      Problem is the supra is the smarter buy. Significantly better engine, way more tuning potential, way better automatic transmission (and likely superior manual trans), lighter, better platform, better handling, better brakes, no horrible fuel cutoff at the track or spirited driving when tank is 50% or below, better built interior, etc. All for similar money
      If you get the base model Z which is significantly cheaper you get ass brakes, open diff(WTF), super Spartan interior, the exhaust sound is even worse, and speakers are ass
      If you're upgrading you'd grab a used supra, most likely

      I had an old Elantra years ago with a beta 2 swap and bolt ons and it grinded into 2nd every time. 210k miles on that transmission when I cooked that engine and the grinding never got worse over all those miles. But it’s still disconcerting, if they had to beef up the 1st and 2nd synchros in that “old”transmission to handle the extra torque, it’s gonna mean short transmission life for those who look to the aftermarket for more power.

But i think the RedSport needs more love. Althooooough I’m sort of glad they don’t get more love cuz people always trip on my car cuz you never see them.

      And that Q60 handles way worse and is significantly slower and costs more..
      In 2017 it was good but quickly because worse then competitors. The Q60/50 red sport has an outdated interior so it doesn't look as good as competition, outdated features(like wireless connectivity), worse performance, and worse handling, and has a much inferior automatic transmission vs competition (it's very old, and slower) and is overpriced that's why it gets slept on.
      The 49k m240i smokes the q60 red sport, m340i also dogs on it completely, Kia stinger also beats it speed wise and is more practical with a more updated interior (hence it gets better reviews and always wins over the q60/50 in comparison tests), same goes for Audi's competition. Mercedes, not so much they're too bent on using 4 cylinders.

    • @TassieLorenzo

      To be fair, the F-Type is a Jaguar so it has the same chance to be a classic as the XKR or any other Jaguar. The Nissan Z cars have never been particularly exotic or special, and have usually been fairly close to their Skyline or Infiniti underpinnings AFAIK. Even so, the 240Z, 280Z and so on (Z30 series) are classic cars now. Less so, the 1980's Z31 but I think they are getting to classic car status too. :)

    I had a 2006 350, the transmission was exactly the same in that you had to manhandle the stick into second and other gears (but it didn’t grind). I actually always loved that about it. It’s not a forgiving transmission and that’s what made it engaging.

    I choose the Z. Even tho the Supra is a bit faster, the Z is still hella fast.
    I won’t be driving the car at a race track, so I don’t care about track performance, it looks better in my opinion, the ride seems to be more comfortable than Supra, I like the Z’s interior better than the Supra’s (although the Supra’s interior materials are more refined -BMW after all-). It’s reliable as well. And it’s a bit cheaper. If I want a fast car with a lot of tuning potential, I’d just buy an used GTR, and would make a monster out of it.

      Problem is the supra is the smarter buy. Significantly better engine, way more tuning potential, way better automatic transmission (and likely superior manual trans), lighter, better platform, better handling, better brakes, no horrible fuel cutoff at the track or spirited driving when tank is 50% or below, better built interior, etc. All for similar money
      If you get the base model Z which is significantly cheaper you get ass brakes, open diff(WTF), super Spartan interior, the exhaust sound is even worse, and speakers are ass

    It took me a little time to warm up to the Supra, but the manual Supra, to me at least, it light years ahead of this in style. The only real complaint I ever heard about the Supra, other then no manual until now, was the wind buffeting issue, and of course its a BMW. But if I am going to spend the money, I would stretch a little more and definitely go Supra over this. I would also be concerned with the fact Nissan has struggled mightily in resent years and be concerned with corners being cut. The fact that more than one reviewer has now mentioned the issues with grinding in second gear is a major concern in my eyes

    The front end stock is a deal breaker. It's awful. It makes a huge difference with the bar going across. The Z seems to be way overpriced. For the upper trims you can get a 3.0 Supra. The Supra is faster, looks better and is a BMW (controversial, but for the same money, I'll take a BMW over a Nissan).
