The Nissan 370Z Thread

Nissan Z review

WHAT'S THE VERDICT?

“Leaner, meaner, more complete Z-car that won’t make it to Europe. Offers tremendous value for money, so that’s a huge shame”

The last Nissan Z before electrification inevitably gets involved in the powertrain, and it’s the best one yet. Just the right amount of power to make it fast, not so overburdened that you can rely on high horsepower to drag you back into the game on the next straight, playful handling rather than overly-hard track-biased nonsense. It’s a back to basics feeling without a back to basics cabin, pitched well (in the US) and tremendous value for money.

It’s also got a handy duality in that it’d be a compact but useable daily driver or GT, but when you got somewhere interesting, enough dynamic breadth to have some fun. Yes, there are things we’d change, but it almost feels like Nissan has left some headroom for tweaks in the car itself, according to your taste. So for Europe we’d take a tiny bit of the squidge out of the suspension and make it turn in a little faster, rifle-bolt the already sweet gearshift action on the manual, tweak the turbos and make it sound a bit more fruity. But it’s a lovely thing straight out of the box - just a shame that emissions and efficiency mean it won’t be coming to Europe.

The 2023 Nissan Z Is More Fun Than the Toyota Supra at a Cheaper Price

The new Nissan Z is a heavily-updated 370Z, and so much more.

The new Z is traditional in the best sense. It’s a true sports car: Engine up front, two seats and a stick shift in the middle, drive wheels out back. It’s not a track-obsessed, numbers-over-everything machine, but the most important numbers — 400 hp and a $40,000 price tag — are plenty impressive. It’s a delight on back roads, and perfectly livable when you’re on your way to that favorite curvy squiggle of pavement. It’s a revamped 370Z that’s more than the sum of its parts.

The sun is setting on internal-combustion sports cars. When we look back on this era, we won’t remember the Nurburgring lap times, the tenth-of-a-second-quicker 0-60s, the incremental horsepower wars. We’ll remember the cars that moved us and moved with us. The ones that asked us to dance.

We’ll remember cars like this Nissan Z.

The 2023 Nissan Z Is More Fun Than The Toyota Supra At A Cheaper Price - Jalopnik

Face it: You’re worried about the 2023 Nissan Z. You heard it’s nearly 200 pounds heavier than the 370Z. You read that it’s still riding on the 370Z platform, which itself was an update of the 350Z platform, a chassis approaching its 20th birthday. You’re wondering how the new Z can possibly...

2023 Nissan Z driven-what it's really like to be behind the wheel​

​

It’s so much better than 370Z, and yet it’s still affordable​

Nissan has taken everything it’s learned from the Z lineup thus far and improved on it in ways we never thought were possible. The old, aging V-6 is gone, only to be replaced by the same V-6 found in the Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400 with some major improvements. The same platform resides underneath, only it has been updated for improved handling, better safety, and more structural rigidity. Factor in the revised suspension, retro look, and impressive cabin, and this is arguably the best Z in existence.

2022 Nissan Z first driving impression
by Philippe Daix
Nissan went out of its way to make the sure new Z lived up to the name’s legacy, and while it might feature an Infiniti engine and a revised version of the 370Z’s chassis (which itself was a revised version of the 350Z’s chassis), it’s a downright impressive car that doesn’t seem the slightest bit old. The engine, for example, has been enhanced to make it more suitable for use in a sports car. The turbochargers have been fitted with a tiny electric motor to eliminate turbo lag, and the manual transmission has been updated to resolve the 1-2 shift issues in the 370Z.
Overall, the car seems very impressive, though it’s sad to think that the Nissan Z could be the very last of its kind before Nissan is forced to shift into electrification. With that in mind, now’s your chance to step into the Z family. The 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V-6 puts out a healthy 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, which is more than enough for some daily fun. It’s also a great car for anyone just stepping into the world of performance cars. There’s enough power for it to be fun, but not enough to leave you in an uncontrollable situation. Check out the video above for some in-car driving impressions.
