I'd easily pick the Z over the Supra.

Sorry Kappa, but it's a no brainer for me. Subjectively the Z looks better. Objectively, it's a lot cheaper, comes with a true manual and is a true JDM. No test data yet, but on paper it also looks to have a performance advantage as well.

Yes I agree the Z looks awesome! 400hp! Wow::rimshot:: How much power do you need 馃榿 To me, that鈥檚 plenty! Club400! I鈥檇 understand that that the GT-R is a DCT. And the Z should be a 6-speed MT! Eagerly Awaiting superb reviews 馃憤

But! But wait! There鈥檚 more! The GR Supra hasn鈥檛 played all its cards yet 馃槈

I鈥檓 pretty sure a MT Supra with a more tuned and reliable power figures will come out 馃榾 Saving for the Final Edition! ::psy:: Z vs S!

Looked at the Supra at the weekend, offered a yellow ex demo, but, it鈥檚 auto, not for us, but a manual Z might appeal, if she decides she can live with a coupe instead of a ragtop, and of course the numbers work.

The Z and the Supra has traditionally been the rivals or counterparts when there respective lives began. It so happen that the Supra MkIV (2JZ) creates crazy power and it already rivals the GT-R.
JDM vs EUDM
Z / Supra VS Cayman
GT-R VS 911

I won't be as I'm hoping to fulfil a lifelong dream of a 911 soon. But I really like what I'm hearing about the Z - pricing is excellent at least here in the US with the base car at just over $40,000. The top trim is $50,000 but is mainly just added luxury items. Still, both trims are around $3,000 less than the equivalent Supra - except the base Z has the same 400hp twin-turbo 6 / 6-speed manual as the top car, instead of an automatic-only 4cyl.

The performance trim of the Z gets mechanical LSD, 4/2 piston big brake kits, monotube sport tuned suspension, forged Rays wheels with Bridgestone Potenza tires among others. I think it鈥檚 worth the added 10 grand 馃憤

Maybe, 10 grand is a lot for essentially a LSD (all of the other parts could surely be bought and installed for far less)

Yup. The 40 grand @ 400 hp same engine, same transmission and same chassis is a bargain. Early ride reviews are promising (C&D Z review 9/10 vs 7/10 for the 370Z) 馃憤

Nice! 馃憤
Is that a Nismo version? If so, are you going wait until there's a new Nismo Z?

It's a 05 "NISMO R-tune". You couldn't buy it "new/whole" from the factory. I had to buy and import the appropriate parts piece by piece.

Years later, Nissan figured they could sell the "NISMO" car, but it's not as comprehensive.

Rumor is that we might see the "NISMO Edition" announced at the end of the year. If it's tasteful, I will go for it. In the meantime, let's see how much markups the dealers want for the base. That may define whether I wait or not.

Get the NISMO version for sure sir @Hubert 馃憤 It鈥檚 not the same if it came out NISMO from the takumi factory 馃槈

Like sir @abrod520 , I鈥檝e always dreamed of the 911 Carrera. But since design cues really doesn鈥檛 change that much and 95% of all people doesn鈥檛 really know the difference between gens, I鈥檇 try and probably save up for it later 馃槜 (fingers crossed) figuring out what gen 馃槙

Currently, I鈥檓 dead set getting for a Supra (once my wallet allows it) and will get an MT (while my knees can still take the beating) 馃榿 Hoping it will also have good reviews and head on with the Z MT ::rimshot::
