Is the NEW 2024 Nissan Z Nismo a sports car WORTH the PRICE?

FIRST DRIVE: The Z NISM) is all new for 2024 from Nissan. This performance car competes with the Ford Mustang Dark Horse, Chevrolet C8 Corvette, Toyota Supra 3.0, Porsche Cayman and BMW M2. On the outside you get 19in RAYS forged wheels, 3-piece rear spoiler and unique bodywork. On the inside you will be greeted by the Recaro race seats & special NISMo steering wheel. Under the hood there is a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 that now produces 420HP & is mated to an upgraded 9-speed automatic transmission. Is the NEW 2024 Nissan Z Nismo a sports car WORTH the PRICE?

[@tellinustr8up]

I love the Z cars! Its definitely beautiful Joe but it is NOT worth that price tag or the dealer markups out there. I still see some cheap plastic and a lot of the same old material used in the previous 350z and 370z incorporated in this 2024 Z and the Nismo! 65k I would buy a Supra or just wait and save to get a C8. 65k is too much then tack on 15- 30k of dealer markups. Especially for the Nismo version. As soon as you drive off the lot you have a very depreciated car because nobody is paying anywhere close to even 50k for this

Joe the real pricing is a minimum of 67,205 because all dealer ordered NISMO allocations were required to have mats kickplates and scuff guards factory options. So any other color expect black puts the Z NISMO at over 68K MSRP for two tone paint. you knocked the review out of the park showing some honest enthusiasm! going to have a lot of sleepless nights until mine arrives in November

Got to see and drive one soon. Great review as always. Now that car does get my attention. I currently have a 2023 C8 convertible in black. Maybe next year a dealership might have one to look at. $65K doesn’t seem out of the question. It’s looks better then a mustang GT IMO. Supra forget about it. Can’t stand the looks of the Supra. Dark horse does no float my boat after owning several C8’s over the past 3 years. Too bad Jaguar is not going to bring a new F type. I had a 2020 F type SVR. Bought it used and boy did that car depreciate in just one year. $130K for $88K only 2000 miles. C8’s are finally seeing depreciation on 2020 models. Thanks again for the fun and informative video as always.

If anybody else thinks they are getting this for anything close to 65k you’ve sadly mistaken. Your going to be looking at closer 75k -80k if your lucky with dealer markup.

The red trim looks very low rent and gaudy but this could be fixed with some vinyl. The front is a million times better than the ordinary model. The fatal flaw is that there is no dual clutch auto or manual, only a slush box that is not as good as the Supra or maybe a used Cayman for the same price. Also no magnetic suspension available.

I'm happy to see the improvements to the Z. I hear many the cries about a manual, but how many of these people were actually in the market? I also remember a similar reaction when Nissan launched the R35 GTR with no manual option, yet everyone loved the car and still race the hell out of it. The only two issues I have with this car is the price. I think it is better priced at 60k and the the interior. They could have used the red accents from the performace.

[@rmp5s]

Totally different cars...the Z is a small sports car, the GT-R is a GT car... Totally different ethos...the Z is supposed to be fun, the GT-R is supposed to be balls to the wall, long distance fast... Totally different transmissions...DCT vs slush box... A car like this with no 3 pedal option is bordering on insulting.

[@shad3128]

The 9 speed isn't really a slush box compared to where they came from (the old 7at was fucking horrendous) but I agree. For north of 60k at this competition bracket without a DCT or manual I can't see anyone being eager to buy this

I also have a 2014 370Z Roadster. It's obviously faaaaaaaaar slower, but RWD, 3 pedals, much smaller, much lighter...much different and also a ton of fun. It's like when people bring up Mustangs and Chargers and Challengers and shit when talking about the Z...those are COMPLETELY different cars. If someone is looking for a relatively small, RWD, 2 seat sports car with 3 pedals, they're looking at cars like the Miata, Supra, GR, and the Z. Yet people ALWAYS bring up the Mustang, Camaro, Charger, Challenger, etc. Cracks me up. 🤣 /rant

Thanks Joe & Lori for the great work as always.

The manual adjustment seats are a prime example of (many) things that cheapen an otherwise really cool car. Did I notice a prop rod under the hood? For 65k (and the Nismo tier), you’d think they might class this up a bit to compete better in all the little things. Where’s my ventilated seats? Give us a higher quality back up camera - after all, it’s 2024 not 2014, you know? In any case, I love the channel and all the hard work - you’re my favorite car reviewer!

As a person that spent $42k on a fully loaded 2019 Mustang GT with every option and only 10k miles on it, the price of the Z is absurd, doesn’t even have heated and ventilated seats or electric seats lol

[@alexceni377]

Eh this car is down nearly 300 pounds and makes the same power on a 93 tune, as for the seats that’s why the base model exists.

Mazdas makes some pretty cool cars too, the Supercharged Millennia was my favorite. But they discontinued it, so now im growing on the Mazda 6, the body is a little different. But it's still pretty cool, i like the AWD rumors. The rear wheel drive rumors sounds a little off, but yeah. An AWD feature would be pretty convenient.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@AngryBulldogGaming]

bro they went wild with the size of the fuel cap door cap that thing is huge it's more noticeable with light paintjobs but other than that the color looks great

[@hades8243]

Coloring/design is really nice other things aside love all the red hits

[@hades8243]

Definitely wish there was a little more like what you was saying, red brushed metal paddle shifters woulda been killer

[@mikeschafer2474]

To much for me but I’m glad they made the upgrades over the standard model it was needed.

[@MartyCunnane]

Very impressive. Excellent video.

[@fatimajawo484]

Does it ride/perform better than the 24gt Joe. Go into as much details if you can.

[@RaitisRides]

That’s a tough question to answer! In the twisty bits…..big time!

[@fatimajawo484]

What of the wide open throttle...

[@davidwoodward4268]

I can't believe Nissan went automatic after touting "driving experience" at the heart of the Z. The biggest drawback of the performance Z is it did not have the track worthiness of its peers. The nismo does, BUT THEY REMOVED THE MANUAL OPTION!!! Track worthy manuals are hard to find, and at $65k I'll need to keep looking at M2 or darkhorse - it's a shame, I love the Z otherwise, just not sure i can live with an automatic.

[@TaylorSébastien-r9j]

What a great review once again.

[@808dms]

What’s your honest opinion between the Supra & Nismo? If you were going to purchase one or the other, which would you choose?

[@RaitisRides]

If I am choosing between automatics I would go NISMO! It is really buttoned up and dialed in.

[@Sub-Zero-392]

If it was AWD like big brother i could justify the price.

[@gbmarshall]

Would be neat to compare yo ford mustang 2024... gt and ecoboost. Which car is best, fun car?
