2023 Nissan Z | Until The Bitter End

[@albonfilms]

Even as a self-proclaimed Nissan hater, seeing the careful consideration that went into this Z is something that brings me tremendous joy. The world we knew is sunsetting, that is unavoidable. The next generation of driving may be awful, or it may just be wonderful in its own way, only time will tell. But for those of us who have been raised on the feeling of driving a well set up, connected sports car, one where every one of the senses is put to use to precisely move through space, the new Z is a triumph, despite its flaws. A massive congratulations to the engineers and designers that pushed to bring this car to market, especially at a tough time like this at Nissan. Here's to another few decades of modified Z's making trumpet sounds down the street at 2am.

[@RAZGR1Z]

I hope this trend continues.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Problem is, it is ultimately from a brand that never recovered from the GFC, and is owned by Renault group - which means no matter how good the car is, you have to deal with some of the worst after sales support in the world if you buy one.

[@captainminecraftist]

I also am glad this came around because I feel like it was partially the reason for the Supra getting a manuel. They don't want to lose all those customers to the z family lols

We will be on live chat during premiere. This video was created to, tell the design story, engineering changes and try to re-define the launch videos of new cars. This was the combination of well over 3 weeks worth of work to make this video. We continue to hope manufacturers like Nissan find the value in small private outlets like us to out work the corporate media giants.

[@itsdefinitelynotdave]

Loved the interview with the designers/engineers and how you tied back into it at the end, mentioning how they’ve experienced the definition of “sports car” changing over time. It’s a fantastic point to make, and gives your film an emotional component that all the other reviews lack. The new Z seems like it will be a legend and I can’t wait to see more content on this.

[@mr.butterworth]

The definition of “sports car” doesn’t change however. People only pervert the concept, and twist it around ideas that don’t fit that definition, just so they can say “sports car”. Today’s Z is really just a sports coupe - one of many on the market, which dilutes the car greatly. It’s odd how many people think this car is somehow groundbreaking.

[@itsdefinitelynotdave]

@Mr. Butterworth I appreciate the correction. The definition has not changed, but what people are willing to live with has. I am happy to see another Japanese, rear wheel drive coupe (with a stick) on the market, even if it is diluted. I think the hype around this car is partly due to the Japanese coupe renaissance we're experiencing, and partly because it came from Nissan. It's one of their more exciting products in recent memory.

[@JammyP100]

I still can't believe the production value of the content you guys produce. It is genuinely some of the most well rounded content on KZbin. Awesome.

Definitely not a classic, it’s incredibly boring in its lines and oddly convoluted in its details. It’s basically yet another dull sports coupe, despite its numbers. Too much content, oversized on the outside, cramped on the inside. Odd how the designers feel they’ve created something beautiful.

Nissan did a great job on this "Z". They took the old bones of the old 350/370 and improved everything. Power, low end torque, steering, rear differential, and of course styling. Offered it from the beginning with a manual and a better front suspension than the Supra, at thousands of dollars less. A real winner.

[@sigmaprojects]

It's going to really be interesting to see if the sales work out. Since Nissan said 40K MSRP base, which is still the 400hp motor, while Supra base is 43K, but with the 4 cylinder and still no stick.

[@markmiller3279]

@@sigmaprojects I think it will totally wreck Supra sales. However, Toyota got away fairly cheaply on that project, so it may not matter much. I'm not entirely sold on the Z's retro styling, but think the Supra is just plain ugly and overstyled. At least the Z looks consistently retro.

[@sigmaprojects]

@@markmiller3279 I think both look pretty good, especially in person. My only gripe about the Supra's styling is that it looks way too close to an Alfa Romeo with its proportions, like if it had the Alfa triangle nose at that pointed area everyone would instantly think it's a new Alfa 8C. I just have a hard time seeing the Japanese DNA. The FT-1 at least had the proportions of a Supra so it was that bit recognizable. Time will tell if Nissan crushes Supra sales.

As a car guy who sold Nissan's for a living in the 90s (retired now) as well as owned several ,I'd like to share a few observations. As much as I loved the 90s 300ZX, which is my favorite , yet detested the 350 Z , I am impressed with the way the new one came out . Nissan took some chances still offering a manual , and some edgy styling details. IF Dealers don't rip off buyers with big markups , and IF Nissan can get production out smoothly with minimal supply chain hold-ups , this may be a breakout hit similar to the original Z's of the 70s . People are tired of lame ass , quirky , overpriced sports cars that don't handle all that well and are overly complicated! Good review , thanks.

The tail lights remind me so much of the 300ZX and there are so many elements that pay homage to each generation of Z car. As much as I dislike the sound of the VQ series at times, there aren't many cars outside of Porsches you can bang off the rev limiter, manual or auto, that take it and take it gracefully giving you every ounce of thrill you desire.

You should think about “on the road series” of some private owner reviews where you get to drive and share the passion of your viewers as well. By far you would to the best job in showcasing not only cars provided to you by manufacturers but also car enthusiasts and collectors. Great job! Look forward to the next one.

Dear Mr. Albaisa, I say this as someone who has never really been fond of Nissans, that IS the most beautiful car I’ve ever seen! Absolutely stunning! And, as always, fantastic work from Mark and Jack. Bar none, the most Premium, Best-in-Class productions!

[@MrValy128]

The Intro alone gave me goosebumps... This is Top Gear level cinematography, production and interviews.. If I had one wish it would for Goose to go mainstream and make all kinds of bank doing this.. just amazing work team SG.

I loved the conclusion. So many have confused the definition of a sports car with 60 and 1/4 mile times, when that couldn't be further from the truth. Where do you go with sports cars when EVs can decimate everything, or a 2L Accord can gap most "sporty" cars? You have to lean into what made sports cars great, which is the connection and the experience. It's taking it down a country road on a Sunday afternoon and just enjoying the drive, not worrying about how fast you get from red light to red light on a strip. It's not always about pure speed and I hate that we've gotten so far away from that.

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

But if those other cars offer that and better performance why would I go for less?

[@PsychoCPU]

@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 Well, Miele vacuums offer everything a Dyson does with better performance, why doesn't everyone just by Miele vacuums? Just because something is technically better doesn't make it more desirable. Low to mid-range EVs like the model 3 or the base Mustang offer great straight line speed and good range, but sacrifice handling dynamics and performance. If you want to have brakes big enough that they don't overheat and fade after a couple hard stops or suspension that doesn't body roll over 5 degrees in a sharp corner, than you're gonna have to shell out for the performance variants, which are quite expensive. Not to mention, I could take this Z, or any similar sports car, to a track day and run it off and on all day long. If I took a Tesla I'd get about an hour of performance driving before it was both too hot and too discharged. If I took an Accord the brakes would be toast and I would probably be nauseous from the angular momentum of the body roll. Anything can become a performance vehicle, but what makes a car sporty and enjoyable isn't just power and speed. My most enjoyable car to drive over the last 25 years was a 91 240sx that had an LSD-swapped rear diff. Even after tuning it only made like 175Whp, but I could track that thing all day and never be dissatisfied. The Model 3 I tracked at an event in Atlanta on the other hand was fun for the first 10 minutes and then quickly became exhausting and disappointing when the battery started getting hot so it pulled power and the brakes became soggy sponges. It's all just perception, but for me, enjoyment in driving comes from the entire experience, not just the butterflies from acceleration.

[@zoppp621]

People are obsessed with straight line speed and not as much taking corners as fast as possible. This mentality might change as F1 gains viewership in the states.

[@mogulme6190]

@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 I enjoy a quick car but certain power levels is just overkill.

[@sengvang3718]

That's why I still have my AP2 S2K. Not the fastest but the best driving experience when your in a back road going through the gear with the top down. In my opinion on the last pure driver's car Honda made.

[@Garagetopics]

Fantastic cinematography and editing as always. This video will forever be relevant, depicting what to expect with this Z

[@AriaLaurel]

It's so nice to see a video where the creators are on board to share the story with you. The results of that cooperation and all the skill and work you put into these videos creates something really special.

[@adamholcombe8847]

That intro and prologue was...just....breathtaking. Wow.

[@suserman7775]

Kudos to the designer for making the car look great AND complying with the request to have some retro elements.

[@Tarmac76]

Thank you Nissan for still making a relatively affordable, rear wheel drive sports car with an internal combustion engine and manual transmission. That music at 27:12 made me sad, it reminded me how the days for cars like this are numbered. And they'll be gone within the next 10 years, so you gotta live in the present and enjoy each shift. Bravo guys, what a video!

[@Tarmac76]

@Null I'm fine with them. You?

[@BrianFrichette]

Production value: 11/10 Seriously.

[@BrendanEvan]

Geez Nissan owes you guys big time for this video. What a flipping masterpiece/encyclopedia/documentary!

[@Baldybrew]

I love this so much. Hearing the designers talk so candidly about their triumphs and failures is really wonderful. Unlike everything else you get from most of these interviews from other manufactures that feel very staged and scripted, this feels so natural and genuine. This further makes me realize just how incredible this channel is. You all truly are revolutionizing the automotive journalism space with videos like these. Incredible job, guys.

[@unearthednsx116.]

Couldn't agree more 👏🏽

[@RainL8]

THIS. This video is what other car channels should be striving for their quality. The cinematography, the interviews, the specs, the discussion of what this car is striving for are all so perfectly done. You gents never disappoints, and I'm embarassed to say that I'm getting emotional watching this video, knowing this car might be the last of its kind to grace the car culture.

[@christopherchong6476]

Long-time viewer, first-time commenter. This is one of the best video reviews I've ever watched, on any platform. I love the interviews and the amount of detail that they go into. I wasn't that interested in the new Z before, but thanks to you guys my ears have perked up. Well done. Edited: spelling and grammar, was tired

[@savagegeese]

Some cars obviously dont have much story to tell, but at least this one, people seemed passionate about.

[@vomErsten]

That this production is sitting at only 238k views at time of reply is disheartening, because the quality here is the best in the entire business be it internet or traditional. Everything is well-done; the camera work, the editing, the interviews, just absolutely outstanding. And the car itself is making me feel really guilty for not being able to buy one, it looks and sounds like all the sports car one could want!

[@Drive615]

PUMPED FOR THIS! well done as always gents!

[@RAZGR1Z]

Mark and Jack killed it once again. Bringing the story of the new Z to life in a beautiful way. I hope this car sells big time to show manufacturers that people still want soul in their sports cars.

[@ttinnovations3310]

the 300 Z was the car I fell in love with, the turbo and the T-Tops, the design, turbo v6, a car I wanted in high school and college but couldn't afford to buy, the new supra is amazing but its a bwm and I've owned 3 old bmw and I'm over the plastic and oil leaks as it ages, I'll wait 1 year and cross my fingers their will be a Z T-top model maybe and buy a grey 6speed M one top trim , so Happy Nissan with all the $h!t they had still made a Z when I'm still young enough to bald the tires out after 5-10K miles =)

[@MrSfrench1952]

Spectacular review! All of the interviews were on point, the discussion moving from the first to this new model was wonderful. As a former owner and fan of the 280ZX and then the 300ZX I am extremely happy to see this car come to life. Well done Nissan! And thanks and a well done to Savage Geese for this detailed introduction! Keep up the great work.

[@RomualdPineda]

Been watching your channel when you reviewed the red nd2 mx5. I am still confused on why your channel has not reached 1 millions subs yet! The quality of your work is on another level and you deserve waaay more than this. Give them all the likes and subs so we can keep getting more and even better content!

[@dawnpoint]

I watched all the early reviews last night knowing they wouldn't even come close to answering all the questions that Savagegeese would. Boy was I right. This channel is unbeatable. Impeccable work as always, boys.

[@UrbanSniperWTF69]

Jesus Christ this channel needs a Netflix deal, amazing video as always

[@EmpireShook]

I knew this was going to be the first Z video I watched today. Thank you for your time and effort you put into your videos. Never a disappointment.

[@huskysilverdog]

Very well done. As the owner of a Z, I really appreciate this documentary. Cannot wait to drive the new iteration. Such a great car throughout its history.

[@behindthen0thing525]

Yeah

[@caseynocher2158]

Mr. Geese and Jack are truly in their element here; wonderful breakdown of the new Z- with the good, bad, and indifferent.

[@mral6168]

True pedigree and iconic! Thank you Nissan for keeping the kid in me excited! Great video 👍🏻

[@CDX7]

So why do people watch Doug Demuro when this channel exists? The level of effort and care put into these videos is on another level

I came looking for a review and got a piece of art. What a beautiful video. It's amazing what they have accomplished with this car. Yes, it does carry over a lot from the past gen, but man, this thing is a beauty. I would love to have 40K to burn, 'cause i would be buying this in a heartbeat. Keep up the good work Savagegeese!!!
