You may think it’s unfair that the Supra had performance brake pads and the Z had stock ones, however it should be noted that pro-level drivers like Jackie Ding have tracked the Supra on bone-stock pads without brake failure. We hoped that would be the case for the Z as well, but Coby found out otherwise.

Brakes: So C&D actually crashed a 370Z NISMO years ago on VIR (possibly that corner) due to the brakes overheating. They refused to lap the 370Z again until Nissan addressed the issue. ~10 odd years, and 1 generation later...still not fixed. NISSAN is JUNK!

That’s because the 370Z and the new Z are the exact same car. The only difference is the new Z has the optional 9 speed (which is really really good in the Nismo but bootycheeks in the regular Z’s) and it has the twin turbo V6 pulled from the Q50/Q60. But both cars share the same chassis code, and a lot of the parts on a 370Z, both stock and aftermarket will fit on the new Z cause like I said before, they’re the same car. Unfortunately because they’re the same car, and share the same strengths, they also have the same exact weaknesses

The brake issue with the Z is really, REALLY disappointing. The 370Z had the EXACT same issue with pads failing, get this 15 years ago, those are the same brakes. No improvement on these brakes on what is being sold as a performance car is unacceptable. Nissan should be putting brakes on the car from the factory that can handle at least a few hot laps. That extra $50 per car is not going to turn anybody away from buying it.
@iamstd2

I think the main issue is that Nissan as a whole has been going through a lot lately (CEO issues, etc) and they didn't have enough resources or funding for better R&D. It very much seems like a car with compromise, like they did what they could with what they had. As much as it seems like they could've "just" put better brakes on it, there's a lot more that goes into it as an OEM.

It might be upsetting if you found out they're built using the same 370z chassis from 2010 , Nissan also released the same sports car GTR from 2009 all the way until 2025, the same 6 speed DCT transmission says it all.

Its basically a 370z with a new shell and powertrain. Personally I can understand re using old parts that are good, but those akebono brakes were already and issue over a decade ago. It just seems like the teams at nissan weren't very aligned with what the car is supposed to be. Marketing touts it as a dedicated sports car, but the actual tuning and set up of the car is more comfort grand tourer.

Dealerships priced them out of the target audience. Then, with Nissan recycling a now 15 year old engine architecture, the same motor already available in Infiniti models for a good six years before the Z released, the only people left to care about them were the Datsun fans who liked the retro influenced design. Same brake design as the 370Z, same brake issues that the 370 had.

Same thing can be said about a base model mustang or a Cobra and Cobra R. Bigger brakes, an entirely different drive train, and a better suspension. You really have no clue. Base C5 came with an LS1, while the Zo6 had an LS6. You can delete this comment.

Great video and nice driving by Coby! Non-NISMO Zs have always been grand tourers if you look back at the history of the model. I think a lot of folks end up feeling disappointed at the new Z's on-track performance because in the modern era everything that looks fast and has power is expected to be a track weapon, regardless of whether that's the goal of the manufacturer. In the case of the new Z, the NISMO model is the track oriented version. The Sport and Performance trims are designed for the road and the softer suspension and not-very-grippy tires are appropriate for that goal. Speaking of tires, the stock Z Performance tires are holding it back quite a bit as well compared to what the Supra comes with. Hopefully some time Coby gets to drive a NISMO on track (which also has bigger brakes by the way! And an oil cooler).

And it would be really cool to see Coby drive some faster street cars (was it a 911 GT3 last episode that kept getting in the way?) just to see where something like that will stand compared to say the civic supra etc etc - granted that would require people lending you their super expensive cars.

What's a 400z? Seeing that Nissan never called it that, only automotive article writers and KZbinrs did. Nissan has never used engine horsepower ratings for the number designation of their vehicles. The 240z had a 2.4L engine and the new Z has a 3.0L engine, so technically it would be a 300z. Like the 300zx has a 3.0L engine. The 260z has a 2.6L engine. The 280z has a 2.8L engine. The 350z has a 3.5L engine. The 370z has a 3.7L engine. People who call it a 400z are ignorant. The only way it would be called that is if it had a 4.0L engine. As Michael Jordan once said..."Stop it, get some help."

Having been to VIR many times in my a91, that's crazy to see the 400Z fail that bad. It took 3 weekends to finally cook the 100% stock Supra brakes and fluid (pedal to the floor on the back straight at 157mph). With Motul fluid and CSG pads it will hot lap all day.

Super cool to see these cars compared to each other. The 400Z has been a dream car of mine for a while. Now I want to see it back on the track with some of those mods mentioned. Biggest and probably the only pro I've heard about those cars is the power delivery. Would be interesting to see the dyno curves of the supra and the Z compared.

It seems to be a car that has looks that are better than it's performance (from the factory at least.) But it also seems like the downsides are pretty easy to sort out with a bit of time and money.

The Z would be ok if it wasn't priced the same as the Supra

As someone who tracks a 350z, brakes are always the issue. With the stock placement of the calipers pad knock back is a problem as well as cooling. RIP stoptech, but the NISMO Stoptech calipers solve the pad knock back, add some ducts for serious track drivers, then get a fairly aggressive compound pad like the Raybestos ST43s if you can find them or some PFC 01s.

It's disappointing that the Z has sub-par brake pads, but honestly, who tracks a car without installing proper pads? I've never tracked a car with stock tires, brakes, or fluids. Never assume that your car is safe and track ready, if you're not the one that prepped it.

I have an idea for the track tested series, you guys should see if you can get some of the NASA/SCCA spec classed cars to compare. Seeing a show down between a Spec Miata / SPEC3 / Spec E46 / etc. with the same driver would be awesome!

If the owner added negative camber on the front only I would expect that to make the car more tail happy than from factory.
