Would you get the Nismo over the M2 or does the lower price and optional manual mean it’s BMW for the win? Let us know in the comments!

[@T_3rR4h]

Manual all day, every day. Doesn't Nissan pay attention to the big players like porsche in that regard? That Nismo is simply far too overpriced.

[@brandonhodnett5420]

Look it up that BMW is actually putting 450 hp to the wheels, like all M cars it’s grossly underrated. This race was over before it started, is anyone surprised?

[@Legendary-2024]

nope! already left the comment lol.. more like 553hp lol

[@jpracing893]

Essentially they have to lie otherwise if it produced claimed it wouldn't be as impressive.

[@ZephyrCorsa]

@@Legendary-2024Not close to 550hp, BMW ratings are about 10% below the actual figures or closer to wheel HP.. The G87's output at the crank is closer or just north of 500HP.. That and it makes significantly more torque.

[@iwasadeum]

The fact that the Z is nearly $70K is criminal with this level of performance. This car should start at around Mustang GT money ($40K).

[@patc8653]

@ nearly 70K I expect the Nismo Z to come with adjustable dampers, valve exhaust, adjustable aero(eg. rear wing) full Recaro seats(bottom is cheap Nissan cushion), carbon interior bits, data logging or telemetry, more power(450hp minimum), should have a manual option or a faster auto(Nismo trans still slow compared to a ZF trans).

[@pherron7471]

The Nismo Z is growing on me and I say this as a twin turbo 370Z owner. On the positive side, power won't be a problem. You can take it to your local GT-R tuner and they'll make it as fast as you need.

[@shad3128]

The Z has always been good for that, most people who are Z enthusiasts are never too worried about that. Problem is ever since the nismos came out around 2012 and upwards they are grossly overpriced for nothing special (I liked my 2018 but it was retarded for what it costs.) When it comes to modding them if people arent worried about money then yeah, they are awesome. However the b58 and s58s are insane if you do one or two mods now they pickup so much power per dollar. Its hard to be a nissan enthusiast anymore :(

[@kok111188]

The problem is the transmission. I bought the M2 with the auto because the ZF8 is such a insane transmission, smooth as silk but shifts hard when you want. The Z nismo feels clunky and dated - that's because it is dated, it's the same automatic they have been using in the 370z which is more than a decade old. If they stick a manual in the Nismo, it's going to be a great car. I loved my 370z Nismo 6-speed.

[@IScoreUnderPressure4]

​@@kok111188it's not the same automatic at all. You have no idea what you're talking about

[@kok111188]

@IScoreUnderPressure4 it's just another garbage Jatco automatic transmission with the design basis from a Mercedes. No one claims this transmission is up to standards from the competition.

[@NFSINSANE]

The problem is the price

[@andrebrooks9719]

The z is about 10-15 grand over priced for a warmed up half baked 80% refresh

[@norwegianblue2017]

Exactly. The regular Z is at least competitive at its price point, although still the underdog. The NISMO is a rip off.

[@augustortiz]

Add to that they never offered a manual option. They deserve to flop.

[@SoCalFreelance]

That Nismo Z engine has so much more potential. Wish they gave it the horsepower it deserves.

[@chaaamoy123gomez8]

Same Vr30 engine since 2016. It's an outdated platform, don't why they couldn't closed decked it or some type of engine work. Still the same old engine with shitty turbos, that's coming from a q60rs owner.

[@Lawnyyy-]

BMW sandbags their numbers, the new M2 actually makes 450 WHP 👀👀 that thing is fast

[@genderlessyoutubefanperson]

I believe that. My 2024 X3M non comp makes 456 AWD HP. M2 is rear-wheel drive and even with the less powerful version of S58 puts down impressive power.

Let's be real, the BMW has 100hp more. It's not secret BMW always underrate their Hp numbers.

[@questionyourself718]

Not 100. Like 30 more on the wheels.

[@zspec1]

As soon as I saw the difference in accelerration my first thought was, "no way there's only a 50hp difference between these 2!". 100 hp is more believeable. Interestingly enough the M2 only managed a 2:56.9 in Car and Driver's lightning track and the Z managed a 2:56.2. Close enough the driver/conditions seem to be the biggest factors. As a die hard Z fan, I still prefer the Z, but hard to suggest getting one over the M2 at the same price 😢

[@RitwikDutta]

I believe the C&D Lightning Lap also had a significant tire differential between the cars. The Dunlop Sport Maxx tires the Nismo was using during that lap have a 200 UTQG rating, whereas the Pilot Sport 4S have a 300 UTQG rating; if the M2 ran with Cup 2s or Cup 2 Rs, then I believe it would have probably been quite a bit faster.

[@jaredscott4829]

They weigh within 50 lbs of each other, have the same motor, trans, etc. If you gander at Car and Driver's Lightning Lap you will see that the current Nismo Z and M2 are right on top of each other for lap times whereas the M240 is 7 seconds slower or in track speak, an eternity.

So for example BMW says my car is 617/553. It's more than that at the wheels. Dinan measured 707 at the crank. Most dynos of stock cars are showing 640 or more at the wheels.

In Australia the new M2 Auto is $32,000 more that a Nismo Z

[@clbernier2]

Not even close!!!

[@reidvaughn8328]

I still want to see how the Manual Supra stacks up👀👀👀👀👀

[@zaim8506]

Z is nice hopefully they dont hold on to value hope to get a V1 nismo but if the V2 is better i will wait for that

[@justme307]

Went as I suspected.

[@TrentonThomas627]

Not sure why Nissan didn’t put the 6spd dct in the Z

[@NegativoZ06]

Can we see c8 Z06 vs C7 Z06 , or C6 Z06 ,ZR1

[@IanNicholasMusic]

I want to see the Z up against a CT4 V Blackwing or a 5 Blackwing

[@mototodd]

How about a Mustang vs the Z

[@safari8292]

The Z is drift oriented. Impressive results

[@utini11]

The NISMO is supposed to be the track special, not drifting.

S58T0 + ZF8HP75 >>

[@brandonchism6960]

For Nissan/Infiniti fans, the recipe is simple. Acquire the car, set up an appointment with Z1 Motorsport, tell them your intentions, cut the appropriate check, and go have fun. Yes, a BMW with work will still give you hell, but those guys have been making Nissan and Infiniti cars shock people for over 2 decades now.

I haven't even watch this yet and I know that M2 is going to murder that Z.

[@DonLee1980]

3.6s 0-60mph for a RWD M2... that's crazy

[@phillyguerrilla]

Not a fan of either one, but realistically I'd rather have the Z. It's more reliable, practical, and cheaper to maintain. I'd like to see a rematch with both of them on a down pipe and tune (leave the cats on).

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

That's still very unfair for the Z cause the S58 in the m2 can easily make 700whp+ on stock turbos + with dp can make far more power than a Z can with its stock turbos.

[@phillyguerrilla]

@@carboydorifutoparty3976 Put the crack pipe down. A stock M2 will not make 700whp with an aftermarket down pipe and tune 🤣

[@utshwala]

Smallest M? Isn't there an M1? and M Coupe?

[@Bum_Hip]

Z has been out for what, a year? Still have not seen one in the wild here in Vegas.
