2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 - Brutal start up and revs
Did you like the that color? I’m thinking about it.
I thought it worked pretty well for the Rock Creek package. A great option if you want a car that doesn't show dirt
Can the roof-rack be removed completely, for when I don't need to carry anything on the roof?
We got the 2024 Rock Creek 2 months ago and love it. Wanted the Infiniti QX60, but wanted the towing and off-road features, and saved $20k in the process. Very happy with it, going to take a road trip this summer from Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe in a few weeks. Just put a ceramic coat on it.
Do you hear a lot of road and wind noise, and is the suspension too stiff, like all the reviews say?
the new z is very slow
I love the new Z. I bought a 2024 Performance manual with 6000 miles on it so I didn't have to pay the $50k+ MSRP. This is my 5th Z car. FYI- This car is built on the same platform as the 370z, which is NOT the same as the 350z. 350z Z33 platform was built on the 1st generation FM platform. Z34 and RZ34 are built on the 2nd gen FM platform. 350z has a longer wheelbase than the 370z and new Z, which share the same wheelbase.
The z baby supra is a bmw z4 same engine same rear end spoilers look the sale shape
You're not allowed to peace out at the Fucking video inappropriate
For the lack of modern options on the inside of the car, the price of this should be AT LEAST $10k less. Never mind the outrageous dealer mark ups.
Good job on the video. I do feel that Nissan as a company has an established offroading heritage in its product lineup. Also, their engines are usually listed in Ward's 10 best engine selections each year. The value proposition is quite evident, and hence the reason that we chose the Nissan Quest (Minivan) back in 2006 over its competition.
Great video. I almost purchased this vehicle four months ago. But I felt that it wasn’t quite powerful enough for my liking and the overall tech in the Pathfinder was outdated. However, the new Pathfinder is a very nice vehicle to drive. I purchased a Chevy Tahoe instead.
You made the wrong decision. I bought a 2023 honda pilot elite, also the wrong decision. Should have had this or a highlander.
I love my 23 mazda 3 thb great vid
actual street driving!! Love it and thanks! Just do it with a full tank of premium gas next time! LOL
Great video keep it going!
*Promo sm*
Give me one I will drive the paint off it!
Beautiful car and excellent engine...unfortunately in my country "Italy" we have small engines of displacement and power to counter the high costs of petrol (1 liter 1.81 euros which at the exchange rate in $ is 1.98. In particular the Skyactive G 122-150hp in addition to the 2.0-liter 186hp for front-wheel drive only. Anyway, nice review🤙
What gear you are using to record the video?
Nice job finding the turbo! Still haven't found the one on our CX-90 PHEV, although it likely has a very similar 2.5. Typical - pushing it to the limit with low fuel for extra SPEED😅. And I don't think they hated us that much, my car was pretty quiet. We'd definitely make quite a bit more racket if we did a run one of these days👀
😂
I like the design concepts of the interior better than a new M2 or something where there is just a big Samsung screen in your face. I guess I am old school. Maybe they could use some better materials here or there.
The Z is special. Absolutely love the design!
Ben, I have been interested in buying a C8, but I have always been bothered by the fact that you never see ten year old Corvettes on the road as the engines disintegrate. Coupled with the $10K dealer markups, I have given up, period, never again. But I stumbled across your VIDEO AND WOW! I had a 1984 280ZX 2+2 and this brings back the memories. Your REVIEW is UNIQUE because you know the Z's prior foibles, and you compare & contrast them from wisdom. Nobody else! Only you! You are FANTASTIC!
Smooth heel toe shifts. Looks brilliant to me. I think the dealer markups will be the problem.
If you want to hear a real stock exhaust look at a Lexus LC 500 coupe with performance pack ? Great video I might buy one to daily
I would take the 400 z rather then supra cover by m4
This video is just ridiculous, i waisted 3min of my life
I like the BMW Supra. It's such an incredible looking vehicle.
This car is getting beat in a race in every video on RUclips. I would go with the Supra
Supra is a BMW ...
Z Car. The Supra is too bulbous.
omg I didn't know this car was this bad damn. lol
Great feedback on dampers. Good detail
Thanks!
the only think I like more about the Z than the Supra MK5 is the steering wheel
Yes it is better because it is actually a Nissan product. Not a bmw with a badge swap. There is no question.
SUPRA
Supra looks better and outperforms the Z so I would go with Supra.
If you really really really want a Toyota engine in your supra, just drop a new 2JZ engine and be done with it, just my opinion k
Better looking than ALMOST all of my women 😏🤓
Good review
Kesangaten jepang vs Asia hahahahaha
Don't care if it's Japanese through and through. It is a massive let down for the price and it's performance. In fact, this and the Supra were on my list. And I didn't buy the Z, I'll tell you that much. And... I didn't buy the Supra either because it too had flaws, not as fatal as the Z, but still bad enough. Had to buy a freaking Camaro 2SS 1LE instead. It beats up the Supra on the track, it beats up the Z cruising. Better manual transmission, and sounds great under load. And as a bonus, throw my booster seat in back for my son to ride in and bond with on cruises. It doesn't look as good as the Z, but it's not terrible looking like some of the Supra's parts. A shame people slept on the SS 1LE.
For the price you cant beat the ss 1le, I am with this guy, but if i had to choose between the Z or supra, it'd be the supra all day. Just compare the underside of each car and you'll notice the over-engineering that bmw and toyota have developed.
I'm dying to know what they're gonna do with the Skyline. Are we gonna get a v40 Skyline/Infiniti G40?
No mention of the clutch. High engagement, low? Didn’t see any heel-to-tow down shifts. Rev matching? Another crap review of the manual transmission Z.
The Supra just looks more special.
Dealership in my area is charging 20k over list price
It’s ridiculous, “pre owned” market and out of state dealerships have been selling for more reasonable prices from what I’ve seen in the facebook z groups though.
I have been a Nissan Z fan and owned a 300ZX, 350Z, and 370Z and loved them all. I am retired now so I am not driving nearly as much as I used to, but when I saw this new model of the Z come out I was totally disappointed. The styling is terrible and not nearly as aggressive as the 370Z, and the interior is also just a slightly improved computer version of the 370Z. I was ready to buy a new car and after seeing this went back to a 370Z, and if I were still working and wanted something brand new I would go with the Toyota Supra. I know Nissan has been having a rough time in recent years, but turning out an ugly piece of crap like this is not going to help their struggle. If I were the CEO I would fire the design team that worked on this car.
Weird take, see lots of negativity about the Z but you are the first person to take such offense to the looks.. That's usually what everyone likes about the car lol
This car doesn’t compare to the Supra🥴
Stock for stock both make 380hp. base model z sport with manual is about 42,000 shipped, 3.0 Supra manual is gonna run close to 54,000 shipped. You could be making in the 600’s + some good tires and suspension with that 12k difference.
Perhaps. You do realize that it’s most likely even less costly to enhance the Supra🤔 I just received mine about a month ago. ECU dump tune and an HKS carbon CAI and it’s pushing 467 at the wheels👍🏻 Anyway, all good. I truly feel for the Z guys. Because this car isn’t it🤷🏼♂️
Cool exterior. The interior is horrible and cheap looking.
I would buy the Z over the Supra, seems a better option for those looking for a GT vehicle. In my 40s and not looking to race in a track often, so this seems the better option for me. I was a fan of the old Supra and the 300z, this also feels closer to those models.
the car been out a while now so yes its on sale lol
