- The Z NISMO brings extra performance from Nissan for 2024. On the outside you will see better aero, RAYS forged wheels and big brake package. On the inside there are Recaros, 12.3in digital gauge cluster and 9in infotainment screen. Under the hood is a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 that is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2024 Nissan Z NISMO a BETTER sports car than a BMW M2?

The back of that car is so reminiscent of the 90s Nissan 300zx. Looks great.
Love this Nismo Z but I can't justify paying over 65k, I'll drive my 370Z til the wheels fall or I get tired of it!
Agreed! I have a 350z and I just can’t be paying $68k-$70k.
At that price i would rather have a slightly used m2 competition
At that price pick up a Porsche Cayman or Boxster lightly used!
Nice I have a 370z too!
Yes there's no way I can afford it with these prices and rates 😅
For you youngsters we used to see Z cars all over the place in the 70's. I haven't seen one on the highway in years. They were a bargain priced sports car back then. Much nicer car now but not such a bargain. You've been busy Joe.
A base Z for the price ain’t so bad. Throw an lsd in and you’re laughing
Joe I think this NISMO is growing on you more and more each time you drive it! I got my first autocross in mine coming up in a couple weeks. just finishing up break in miles
I recognize you from the new Z forums, awesome to see you got your nismo!
Hard to justify over the regular 400. Still a neat car and we should be happy it exists!
400???? Check 6:41 bud, l didn’t say it lol
That was the speculated name for so long because of the fact that it was coming stock with 400hp. Even though us still just Z regardless. It’s not necessarily wrong if people still say 400z
@@quadrygrace94Nissan never named a Z after its horsepower rating.
@@firmmanNYC I didn’t say they did.
I like the two-tone, but I like how it’s separated by that sword. 🗡️
I just bought one today, has 12 miles on it so far the drive home from the dealer was awesome.
Starting MSRP of a Nissan GTR in 2007 was 69k..........yeah. This car is not worth 70k. Buy a Supra, an Audi RS3, M2 over this thing.
It's not 2007 anymore. That was 17 years ago. Everything is more expensive
The Supra 3.0 costs just as much as does the M2... what's the point? There's no savings getting any of them so might as well buy what you like.
US$69,000 in 2007 is US$106,000 in 2024 after adjusting for inflation. It's why some of the criticism on price are out of touch with economic realities.
I like the looks of the Z and it has potential…..but I can’t think of a world in which I would take it over a M2
i'll take the Z over the M2 bc it's way more reliable. imo the Z competes more w/the Mustang not M2
@@badboy-gn8fu If you want reliable, get a Camry. "Reliable" is such a weak excuse. Just say you're financially challenged mane.
@@PlayafromtheHimalayas im not talking about your mama's camry. im comparing two cars the Z and M2.. b/n these two sports cars the Z is way more reliable.
@@badboy-gn8fu Just say you're broke.
@@PlayafromtheHimalayas is that supposed to hurt my feelings? I doubt you have any currency
Love the way you have 2 point of view cameras in your driving section! Unlike a lot of youtubers who just show their face but not a driving POV. Well done!
love the sound... awesome car thats unobtanium for many people ....
Unattainable

The price of the Nissan Z NISMO is overboard but delivers just enough fun factor and driving engagement though other cars are more thrilling. Thanks Joe and Steven!
I like the way that you put that
That was fun ! Love this car, but I think regular Z is a much better value ……and still a fun car 👍
Thanks Loriiiiiii ! 😃
I would go regular Z for sure! Thanks for showing Lori some love
Great review Joe and Lori. I think this car Is worth every penny considering the engineering that when into it that you don't know about until you push it on the track or twisty back road. It is amazing. A fun factor 10 all the way. It's also gorgeous by the way.
Amazing review Joe.
Great review. Thank you. This has helped me in my consideration.
Joe great review as always….and great camera work by Lori!!!
I’d definitely go with the Nismo Z over the BMW.
Hopefully Nissan will put a manual transmission in the this like Toyota did with the Supra.
Love at first combustion, she really does look and sound that good
Another great review ! Thanks Joe and Lori ! 👏👏
Those automatic ZF transmission are shifting pretty darn quick, getting almost close to a dual clutch transmission but probably more reliable.
This could also compare really to the new GR Supra 3.0, also with a ZF transmission but 8 speed. A bit down on HP but not on torque. The Supra is even quicker then both Z's.
I would go with the Supra, but the Z would be close second. Love the Z look !
I’m saving up for “something” for around 2026. I’ve always liked a Nismo Z and this new one could take my money.
The base model is more than enough for me. I don't see me paying extra money for some red details and badges.
The Nismo is more than red details and badges. You get the suspension, drivetrain, aero, and LSD which you don't get on the base.
@@GrayFox370 i know LSD stands for Limited-Slip Differential but with the price of the Nismo they might as well include some psychedelics
All the red stitching Raiti is missing has been beautifully placed inside of our beloved q50/q60 red sports 🤫
Yes of course Joe & I'm considering buy one.
You are awesome!

I’m ready to Rick it
I still haven't seen a new Z in person. I see a GR86 or Supra practically every day.
Those been selling for ages now.
Same
Nissan z outsold the supra in quarter 1 of 2024 (USA)
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video real true 👍 and I love z look good
Great car i had a 1972 240Z . And I loved it, it handle pretty well. Except the ass end was light. But i enjoyed it, I'd take the Z over the beamer. It has some of the 72 Z lines.
I'll take this over anything right now. I fkn love the Z!! ❤😢😊
I’m glad that I can bring it to you!
GORGEOUS car and review 😍❤️
Love this car so much. From the styling, to the engine sound and the way it puts its power down. This car feels like a mini GTR which is super cool. But the price tag of this thing for what you get is so unappealing. Its unfortunate that all these new interesting sports cars are priced so far to their limits that they start to become unappealing to actually purchase one.
You are so right about pricing
I have this car and I love it!! So fun to drive!
Hey Joe, I have been looking for a review from you of the BMW M3 or M4 base with the manual. Every single one I see on your channel is a Comp with the auto. I’m thinking about buying one instead of the new mustang but a manual is a must. If you could do a review of a M3/4 with the manual would be great. I trust you judgement
Awesome Joe. Is it at all possible to have the tachometer gauges etc etc, showing as U go on throttle?
I’ll see what I can do!
Disappointed in no manual option, but the performance and handling almost makes up for it. I think for me the nismo edges out the BMW, especially from a total cost of ownership perspective. Thanks again Joe and Lori
!
They should have made a manual Nismo.
How I wish they did!
thanks
I’ve still never seen a new Z in person. I’m starting to wonder if they’re a myth.
You are not alone in that!
Just go to a dealer, they are all still on the lot with a 10k markup.
@@davevan9150I got a call from my local dealer No markups now!
The price is outrageous but I like this version better than previous Z Nismos. I also think it was designed to be a low volume seller, and the standard Z would grab higher volume sales. Anyways, I'm off my soapbox. Love the car, great review!
We as car enthusiasts love our turbocharged car's supercharged car's as well as naturally aspirated car's 👍
Just not the same in automatic great Review as always
Nice review nice car
I appreciate you saying that!
I bought the g87 for a summer saturday driver and i love every minute Im driving it. I bought it because not only will it be a special car being last all gas M car, but its also probably the last manual M. I wouldnt buy any of these cars if they arent manual.
3700lbs! I remember when the R35 GT-R came out in 2007 it was around 3700 and was considered super heavy.

I love the content my baby is getting recently. She’s a stunner.
That’s really fantastic to hear
My mind went somewhere else with this comment at first
@@RaitisRides Factoring in inflation, the price for it doesn’t bother me and that’s after narrowing down my choices to the Z Nismo, 45th anniversary Supra which is marked up to $85K in the DMV area, and an M2. I actually got mine used with 117 miles on it. Before taxes/fees mine was $64960 and $68,994.90 OTD.
@@EpiCz_Izzy nobody cares
@@porfiriato84 Thx for the heads up. Have a day you deserve. 👍🏽
Actually a really good review. I can agree with every one of the “zonks” I really like the car. Maybe one day. And if it does. Hopefully the “zonks” will be resolved.
I own a miata standard and automatic and it’s just as fun with automatic
No
So sad to see the manuals disappearing. Is the 9 speed a torque converter automatic, or a DCT? Maybe Flomaster will design an aftermarket exhaust system for the NISMO?
what road is that you test on? Looks like 54 way west??
To me its about the loyalty to the brand...I've owned a lot of Nissans. currently have a 2020 370z Nismo and a 2017 maxima SR love them both and the wife drives a Murano. I'm going Nismo when the manual comes out next year...
You guys have very good taste in cars! Fingers crossed they come out with a manual.
@@RaitisRides ALL us enthusiasts know it is coming! Love your vids man keep up the great work :)
One point I didn't hear was availability. My parking garage has 3 M2's in it daily and I see them alot in nice neighborhoods.
I've never ever once seen ANY Z on the road here, let alone NISMO. Saying 66k is pointless, they'll all be 80-90k IF you can find one within 300mi.
I'd wait 5-7 years for these to be on the used market before picking one up. They aren't worth 60k. 30k sure. Also the M2 comes with a manual where as this doesn't. Which doesn't make sense since the Nismo 350z and Nismo 370z V1 were both ONLY offered in a manual transmission.
I gotta go M2 on this one. Hopefully they will have a better variety of colors soon. I like this Z though.
I have a 370 but I'd love to get one of these. Surprised I haven't seen one since it came out. Super rare. No way I can afford it though haha
Nice car, but it's gotta have a manual gearbox.
My thoughts EXACTLY David!
M2 more reliable, magnetic ride, leather interior, power seats, upgraded tech (although the giant display is ugly), but it kills the Nismo!
When I worked at nissan a mechanic there told me these are pieces of junk. Not sure what he meant but he said it lol
Nice love it, but love to see Nissan add the perforated brake discs in this little Godzilla that would complete it😊
The vanilla Z should have that front fascia. Even without such a big splitter it would look so good. Plus a real shame about the transmission
Excellent points!
*That's a 40k car MAX. No thanks.*
I checking pricing on some vehicles today with the wife. And the pricing for all vehicles are outrageous. And not obtainable. For more than 90% of people. Many can’t afford to pay 1,500 car payment.
Raiti am back baby. Nizmotion
Heck yeah! Good to hear that!
I’m digging this Nismo but I don’t see any scenario where I pick this over a M2
I have only seen one Z since it came out.
just looked online with fair credit a month it’s gonna cost around 800$ to 900$ a month that’s not that bad tbh
Joe, I think I would go with the Nissan Z Nismo.
She's a hottie! A lil fast and sweet looking ride. You know that engine is well developed by now! If you want more space get the Infiniti Red Sport.
🤷♂️I have still have yet to see one in person
It’s like a needle in a haystack
Fantastic car
I purchased a Nismo z, same spec as the one in this video. In saying that the M2 is another $30,000 AUD here in Australia. If they were the same price, I'd order the M2 Hands down just for the S58
Did you check out the new Supra because I think they have the S58? I think the Z looks 1000 times better but Supra goes slightly better and has a manual
How's the ride? Is it very stiff / uncomfortable? I went for a test drive but couldn't decide on its usability day to day.
@thefury4424 Supra has a B58...but hundreds of pounds less in weight. Both beat the Z when a competent driver is behind the wheel.
What do you like and dislike about this Z vs your ZL1?
I’ll put it this way….this Z NISMO doesn’t hold a candle to my ZL1 1LE
@@RaitisRidesHow about looks
Z looks ten times better than any Camaro. Can't hold a candle to the way the Z looks. @@RaitisRides
Love this car, but i just wish nissan priced the line up differently:
Base 40k
Performace 47k
Nismo 55k
Cant justify 65k+ but def jealous of those who can
I don’t mind the Prop rod, last forever!
It would've been nice to see this car sold in the UK.
They put a pizza pan where the gas door should be!
Once again, take me back to 04
Heck yeah!
Man Joe just loves reviewing this car
Yea man id have to go with an m2.
The back of this car is amazing. The front end, not so much.
80's reminiscent from the rear.
I can see it
Nizmo looks sharp..but it needs to be bigger and faster for this price range
If I wanted to buy a beautifully designed quality sports that doesn't look like the Supra "belly bean", then this is it.
If l wanted to lease a Euro bred sports car, with that German panache...Bimmer.
I'll bet you can guess which one l would take.
why it doesn't has MT tran?
M2 is disturbingly heavy and looks a little funky, but I'm still going with that option. Kinda disappointed with the new Z after all the hype.
That's strange it doesn't have the carbon Nismo engine cover..
I have a feeling that the Nissan will be more reliable than the m2. plus the car is sexy as hell and that’s a feeling too 😂
For that price on either going Corvette c7 Grand sport or c7 ZO6
Well, it certainly looks better…
You are spot on the money for that one!
Well all I’m gonna say Joe is at least like the Nissan and even Ford at least they’re still making the sports cars but eventually Chevy and Dodge when their sales plumbing and they go almost out of business they’ll bring it all back so for a Nissan and a couple others can still make money while everybody else is being stupid
Viva the Nissan Z NISMO! When will you review a Tesla Cybertruck?
When I can get a hold of one of
@@RaitisRides Yeah I would love see a Tesla Cyber truck. The Nissan Z NISMO I feel like this Z is the Apostle to the Sports Cars & even though it looks good I feel like the V6 is a dandy.
I love it!!
I’m glad that I can bring it to you Jose
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
I’m a tech guy. So disappointed how poor technology is on this cars at this price.
You should switch roles with your wife, for one episode
She loves behind the camera
“Damn it!” Not manual transmission 😂 I feel his pain ❤
Imagine driving on the opposite side and watching him rip dat Z hahaha
😢i cancelled my order, as a Z owner of 33 and 34. I love the new nismo. But …… my GR Yaris just more worth of money….😂
regular Z is good enough for me. i just want a cruiser.
These are selling for over 80K!! Here in SoFLO😂😂😂 only to remain outclassed by the GR supra and M2 sorry but better off getting a 370z nismo for alot cheaper
They totally reinvented the Nissan Z
