Is the 2023 Nissan Z a BETTER performance car than a Chevy Camaro SS?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- The ALL NEW Z is finally here and Nissan is bringing back the magic for 2023. The main competitor is the Toyota Supra but there are some others that may seem not the same. Cars like the Ford Mustang & Chevrolet Camaro. On the outside you will find the familiar shape of the Z car from the past. The performance spec has 19in wheels, red calipers, and full LED lighting. On the inside there is an all new infotainment system, 12.3in digital gauge cluster, and new seats. Powering the new Z is a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 that produces 400HP & is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox or 9-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2023 Nissan Z a BETTER performance car than a Chevy Camaro SS?

I'm a tastefully modded 370Z owner. It's a blast and reliable as well. Love driving it (used to live in Vegas and was drove it right where Joe is in this video). Made in Japan. You won't be disappointed if you buy a Z.
looking to buy a 2010 V1 nismo 370 this year, can't wait to get my hands on it! have you had any problems?
Haha, you’re damn right saying specifically “tastefully modded” because we know how far some go.
@@troynewman3647 clutch slave cylinders are notoriously known to fail. Replace with the zspeed CMAK CSC Delete kit
None at 48,000 miles but I have gotten rid of potential bugs, such as the clutch slave cylinder issue.
It wont last as long as the 350/370 those na engines are bullet proof like the K series
Nissan really outdid themselves with this car honestly would consider buying one.
Wasn't sure I'd like the blue but man is it gorgeous. Also, being 6'3" tall, I'm super glad Joe said people my height should be able to fit comfortably. I've sat in quite a few other sports cars and felt super cramped. Excited for the manual transmission.
@@josejacobo7520 yea our cars are dope I'm 6'3 and everyone wonders how I fit
I'm 6-3 and am comfortable in my 370 (basically identical interior dimensions)
I'm 6'6" and just hoping that I can fit. I can't fit in a C7 either though, so I don't have my hopes up. :/
i like how most if the americans have height problems sitting inside of a car, i guess car nowadays should design their driver position like the f1 driver do....
@Giovanni C Your proportions are more important. I know a guy 6'3" who has a 38" inseam. And I know another 6'3" who has a 32" inseam. The former requires more legroom, the latter requires more headroom despite both being the same overall height.
The Nissan Z looks amazing! However I would keep my ss 1LE anyday, the stock exhaust, power and the rear seats (for my toddler) itself good enough for me to choose the Camaro, would love to see this car on streets though.
I’ve been desperate for any news on when we’ll get to see proper driving reviews of the new Z. You’re the first one to deliver an actual date! I’ll be here May 16th at 12:01.
Wtf never thought I would see my interests collide like this lol.
3 weeks and you can’t even order one.
TFL Car posted it this morning too. 😉
Now they are saying it’s going to be delayed. 😕
JT, you know you have to get matching white BMWs with Yugo
The camera angles here are perfect and spot on with timing, you two are killing it! Saw everything I was looking forward to seeing with this new Z.
Wasn’t sold on the yellow one, but in blue with the black accents it looks GREAT!!
Regardless of how everyone feels about some of the new cars coming out, it's kind of an exciting time to be a car enthusiast - especially for folks on a reasonable budget. The new Z, Civic Si, Civic Type R, Acura Integra, BMW M240i (and maybe a new M2 for next year), Audi S3, and more. All these cool new cars arriving within several months of each other. It's a pity some won't be offered with a manual, but it's still good to see new driver's cars coming out from these brands.
I agree with you!
Not to mention the manual scatpacks, hellcats, stangs and Camaros from the domestic side. Everyone’s giving it their all before we’re driving iPads.
The m240i is my favorite car by far for 2022 under 50K, and even faster than an M2 in the 1/4 and to 60. Listed MSRP is only $46,695 RWD or $48,695 X-Drive. But dealers want 10-15k above MSRP. Greedy Buggers
The gr 86, gr supras new manual, and gr corolla are all super exciting too
@@jonathanolsen3809 only shit thing is you have to win the lottery or pay 10k ADM over MSRP to get any of them off the dealership.
As a former 280ZX owner I love the lines on this new one you can see the 240, 60 & 80 Z car inspirations. Good review however no need for the Camero comparison as they are two very different cars and have their own feel for the road. Will be interested to see the pricing.
Loved this black and blue Z. Looks pretty pretty good. The cargo area is also good making it an option for daily use and not only for the track.
You are so very right Omar.
I own a 370 and while I also have a SUV, I can get plenty of groceries in the hatch (the hatch area is basically identical)
Blue looks amazing in person! Vid doesn’t do it justice
Nah bruh this isn’t it
@@slighce meth user you are
Hey man, I’m really proud to see how far you’ve come since you first started this channel. Keep chasing your dreams!
Joe! Great video! Love to see the new Z and excited to see more. Overall I like it - but I'm very disappointed at the already laggy infotainment screen. It's 2022, these screens should be as fast (if not FASTER) than flagship smartphones. Lag in infotainment will ALWAYS be a zonk from me. Great review.
Yeah i noticed how laggy and choppy it is too!! Also hate how much of the actual screen it DOESNT use. Huge ass bezels! But all cars more or less are like that which sucks. I think car companies should look to actual tech guys to do infotainment
I saw this at the 2022 New York International Auto Show and it is so nice to see in-person! Can't wait when the Z competes with the 2023 Supra with the upcoming manual transmission
Supra is better car all around.

@@shield4232 thanks man!

Your welcome
Hey Joe and Lori! Never thought I'd want a Nissan but this Z is amazing to the point of conjuring up references to the Brooklyn Bridge! lol. Only you guys use such interesting descriptors. Thanks for the review!
Thanks Jeff for being so supportive!
Great work Lori!! So, the exterior is amazing, but I most say the Supra interior, BMW or not, is leaps and bounds nicer. The Camaro (and Mustang) has a way nicer interior also in my opinion.
Can’t wait to see the drive video though!!
It definitely needs an aftermarket exhaust slapped on or something, but I am very excited for these to start rolling out onto the streets and hopefully at some point in the future I can get one. Iv already made my decision on my first sports car already though as I have a 2022 Ford Mustang GT ordered. Super excited for it and even more excited to be part of the car community!
I'm a mopar guy it would be great having just more people in the car community mix
I am between the mustang gt and the new z. What was it for you that convinced you to get the gt?
@@heela188 I got the mustang over a Z because of the power and sound of the mustang. It simply sounds better. I would say the interior is a little more wack because of the sync system but it’s still a wonderful drive and a very nice and reliable car.
It needs to be a stick shift too... They make then that way!
@The Insufferable Tool The turbos don't help. A lot of muffling going on, unfortunately.
There is something about the shape of the SS I'm in love with.
Understandable
I have a new SS Camaro, and I love the Z but I doubt it's faster than a Camaro. Apples and Oranges.
@@FChen17213 exactly how tf is a nissan gonna outperform a chevy?🤣🤣 american muscle has that aspect down for sure no competition
@@FChen17213 Just like everything else in this price range, drag times will come down to factors like driver mod and whether it's auto or 6spd.
The Z won't beat a 1le on the track though.
@@-igotwhateva9771 This isn't a Toyota. The Z is Nissan. Stop smoking so much.
“We got 9 inches!” Camaro instantly seen measuring his 8” feeling self conscious
I was cross shopping these 2 cars. Bought a Camaro SS for a few reasons, but mainly the V8 and the fact that I could get one with more features (2SS) for less money, and without waiting an indefinite amount of time. I absolutely love the Camaro so far.
If you can only afford one car, and want it to be a V8 coupe, the 2SS Camaro is pretty much it. The 1LE option puts it over the top. It's more car in terms of size, weight, and power than most people can handle, and probably the most amount of performance you can enjoy at legal speed. My car is like 3/5ths of your SS and I got busted doing almost 90 in 3rd gear on an uphill highway on-ramp 😁
Enjoy your ride, my friend 👍
@@brandonobaza8610 I agree with all of that. Thanks man!
I say you made a good choice
@@seafooddiablo5686 hell yeah man. Same to you!
Great looking rear for sure, 400 hp is impressive, excited to hear the driving impressions. My 6-year old daughter also liked the video and lauphed at your salami joke when describing the trunk space.
400 is not impressive. Every single American muscle car is pushing north of that. The Germans are insane with their 500hp cars. Only the Japanese find it impressive to have 400 in 2022
@@FXIIBeaver why’d you have to ruin it
@@breeze_0715 still a great car but let’s not lie to ourselves that 400 is impressive for a factory sports car.
@@username8644 When you put it into perspective 400hp is decent but not truly impressive. The 300ZX released over 30 years ago with 300hp from the same engine capacity and configuration. To gain 100hp over that time frame is underwhelming. Fortunately 500hp would be achieved with mild modification.
Man do I love your analogies 😂 can’t wait to see this car driven, definitely in my sights for my next ride in a few years

Play these in chronological order 😳
One of the most important car launches of the year here. It’s great that everyone fawns over how perfect the Porsche GT4RS is. But in the end, that’s a near $200k purpose built track car. The new Z is much more usable in daily use with a very attainable price. I imagine Nissan will have no problem selling every one they make.
I make $150K a year and would never imagine spending $200K on a car.
Needs manual though, real shifting not video game paddle clicks :)
@@revmatchproductions For the slushbox this Nissan will come with, I agree. But cars with really fast shifting DCTs or even autos, they really are the faster way down the strip or around the track.
@@TheRobSJ And this car actually has a manual (IDR if it was standard or an option)
@@povertyspec9651 I make $200K a year and I don’t even want to spend more than $70K on a car.
This looks really good. Love the retro styling with this generation. I can’t wait to see this in motion

What's your color of choice? I'm liking the red one 😎
@@porfiriato84 for me its either the yellow or blue. They're both sexy colors for this car
@@mattmekhaeil I guess I would have to see the yellow in person bc I'm not feeling it from the videos
It’s boring
@@slighce You're boring.
I really love this car and especially the rear end. It reminds me of the 300zx which I wish Nissan would have designed all of this car around. The (1989-2000) 300zx (Z32) is hands down the best looking model of this car that Nissan has ever made. But, I'm happy Nissan brought the Z back. This model is now my 2nd favorite design of the Z. Thanks for the review Joe!!
Sorry dude you are soooooo wrong....get the eyes checked
@@atg1338 Your entitled to your opinion, but I disagree 100 percent. I think I'm not alone when I say that most people would agree with me and disagree with you.
The z32 is the only Z that is the most beautiful looking without the need of any modifications done..
@@mosswine5417 You are soooooo right....the Z32 is definitely the best looking model Nissan has ever produced!!
I had a '91tt not that long ago. People came over to ask me about it everywhere I parked. Got as much attention as a new GTR.
Joe I been waiting for this video and let me tell you I can’t wait to be in the driver seat!! Thank you and the team for the great content
This is such a beautiful car, I have a 370z, the interior on the new Z is undeniably much better than it's predecessor. I'll be waiting patiently before I buy this vehicle, but it will take much more discipline than I've ever needed before heh. Thanks for the review Raiti's Rides!
WHY THE FUCK IS GUY COMPARING THIS CAR TO A CAMARO?
Right??? The Z is a totally different class.
@@advicemaster1365 2 door mid range sports cars man. You for real?
I love the Camaro 1LE in Rapid Blue that you recently reviewed, but I've been following this new Z since I first saw it. I'm really torn between the two.
camaro ss is going to be faster in all ways, rolls, digs and way more in the rack if you want looks is up to u
The Z is going to be a great car. It would be really hard pressed to match a SS 1le though.
american muscle all the way
I have an SS 1LE and the new Z is one of the cars I’m most excited to try. No plans to trade in the SS but just curious to try something different. Won’t roar like a V8 though.
My first real sports car was a 300zx twin turbo. Really loved it and eventually sold it for a porsche boxster s which I had for 20 years followed by a 911 carrera 4s which I drive now. This review takes me way back. It's exciting to see the Z coming back with what appears to be an exciting performance car at such a reasonable price point. Can't wait to see one on the road.
Aye Joe just wanna say I respect your work ethic and your awesome good attitude at all moments. You're great, man. Take care.
Nissan knocked it out of the park with this car. I love the interior most of all. I think the grill looks great. It might could have used a strip between the upper and lower grills. My only "zonk" is the rear valance. I think it would look better body color. I also wish it had the "Fairlady" badges that the concept version had. I can't wait to see one in person.
I really love the color of this awesome sports car. Also I will able to afford one of these sports cars like this and I will show this sports car to everyone at my school and my family that Nissan had done a amazing job on this vehicle. Overall, excellent job and review joe.
Nissan is making a comeback!
Enjoy!
How do afford this and your in school???
Hopefully they’re gonna be marked up a lot from sticker price so I wouldn’t doubt they’re 60-70k when they come out with car prices rn
Mark up is going to be crazy, I’ll probably wait couple years before I get my hands on one.
Good shit bro! Great video as always!
"tounge wrestling" lmao that had me rolling LOL. Joe your subtle but hilarious jokes are awesome!!!!
Joe, I think you forgot to mention the 280ZX coming after the 280Z. My love of sports cars began with my dad's 260Z, 280Z, and 280ZX. I learned to drive a manual in the latter. I felt like quite the big shot as a 17 year old driving that beauty. Thanks for the memories.
You are so very welcome! Thanks for having my back!
The 280ZX was less "sports car" and more Buick if you ask me
@@markallen2984 he didn’t.
He just said 260, 280… whatever letters are associated with those cars, he didn’t “forget”
He missed a couple Z models, no big deal just mentioned the popular ones.
The one I’ve been waiting for! Nice
I’m glad that I can bring it to you!
Hell yeah. Good review and looking forward to watching on throttle action. Appreciate the content @Raiti
Your insight, long takes and constant output of relevant material is very admirable and quite mind boggling on how you are able to do it, Sir!!
As a former '78 28Z owner, I like what they did here. The overall shape is retro to the original while meeting modern interior room expectations (original Z was Miata sized) and crash safety standards. I admit to not liking the rectangular grille opening the first time I saw it, but its grown on me since. My favorite styling elements are the 90's twin turbo Z style tailights and the Katana blades along the roofline. I like it when Japanse makers arent afraid to embrace their Japanese-ness. Nobody wants a Japanese car trying to mimick American or European cars, and I think they did a great job staying true to the heritage.
Edit- I cant begin to tell you how refreshing it is to see a brand new low slung sports car (that isnt a supercar costing McMansion money) in a vast sea of crossovers and glorified electric golf carts. This is good for the true car guy soul.😎
That's funny cause the original s30 chassis was built to mimic the Jaguar E-type (a European car).
@@KenshinNX60 Very true, but the Z became a classic in it's own right, and this latest version pays homage to the original and later versions while adding some uniquely Japanese touches such as the double Katana blades.
I was literally waiting for this post
I hope it was worth the wait!

The best angle of the Z! The whole car is beautiful, but the side profile, specifically of the rear, is so damn good. Rear 3/4 angle is also phenomenal
Profile means side, so you're being redundant by saying "side profile".
@@HansDelbruck53 Profile is outline - it’s only most commonly referred to in a side shot. Not to play identity politics, but I work in the film industry. Also, you knew what I meant, so who really cares?
Love the name though! Young Frankenstein is one of the greats
@@forthebetter1996 I used to work as a photographer's assistant in my younger days. A profile shot was always the side shot of someone's face (as in John Barrymore - The Great Profile). Last time I looked, profile was still defined as the outline of something FROM THE SIDE. But I don't want to belabor the point. Constructive criticism is not harmful or incendiary. AB Normal agrees.
8:18 I highly recommend the Nismo catback exhaust on this car. I had it on my 350Z and it was NIGHT AND DAY. It sounded AWESOME.
Thank you for the advice on the first hand experience. I too thought the exhaust note was just too weak and needed to be unleashed with new pipes.
Same, I was trying to see if it still had some of that great gurgle that my vq35 makes, eh slightly
@@heela188 fast intentions makes a great exhaust that isn't too ricer. You can see how it sounds by listening to q50 exhaust vids sounds great

Thank you Raiti been waiting on this one blessings 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏
I am so glad that we could deliver for you!
I am in love with the looks of this car! I'd really like to own it one day
The best thing about the 400z is that it pressured Toyota to put a manual in the Supra.
Heard that the new supra is coming in manual in the premium trim and the non premium trim models and also the 4cylinder supra version won't get the manual
That is such a great point!
Stay tuned!
18:00 Yes, good catch on the heads up display. My 2004 Corvette Z06 had the same power as this, with a heads up display. I know they don't want to attack the GTR, but it just seems like they needed to be up with the C6 or C7 base model Corvettes in power and torque.
Nice review brother. Very genuine, no drama. I have also seen you review the Miata, which was also great. Keep up the good work.
The front grill looks pretty good but they could have done better. I like the look of the car. I have my 2018 Camaro SS and I like mine better than this Z.Great video as always ✊

You fools like to hate on Toyota without using you're 🧠. It would of cost Toyota billions in R&D to make a new inline 6 enibg that only small percent of people will buy? Again why? Most people are buying SuVs or CuVs or full size pickup trucks. You think this new "z" will sell 20,000 ? If you think that then you are sadly mistaken. Toyota did the right move from both financial and business perspective, and was still able to bring a fun affordable Supra to market.

@@ggthx you are bitching...that's a entire book yow..by the way my ten year old daughter wrote that book..educate..really
The leading edge on the bumper helps cut through the air. It improves airflow by 6.8 percent and allows it to flow smoother past the sides. This car is going to sabotage the new Supra sales. People want a Japanese legend. I might be a muscle car guy, but I'm glad to see Toyota getting stiff competition once again. Consumers like us win.

"As thick as a steel girder on the Brooklyn bridge..."🤣🤣🤣 The exterior design is outstanding. The silver strip between the black and the blue really adds a nice touch to the beautifully sloping roof. The interior is spot on with the seats and the triple dash gauges are a great touch. There's really nothing not to like visually about this car. Deciding between this and the top of the line camaro would boil down to a test drive.

Thank you!
I hate to sound pedantic but I couldn't let this go. The father of the Z was Yutaka Katayama, and he was strongly _opposed_ to calling the first Z the "Fairlady Z." Nissan's success in the US was thanks to his intimate understanding of the American market and willingness to fight the home office, and this instance is a great example. His story is quite inspiring and I hope every Z fan out there discovers it.
Excited to buy one!

great video men. goshh this z has a lil of every z gen even from datsun days really. my fave gen was the early to mid 90's 300 zx twin turbo. but this z looks beautiful fact.
Hopefully a third party comes out with a custom front bumper, it’s hideous.
Check out the OEM modifications to the Fairlady Z Customized Proto. If Nissan offers this as a special edition, I’m pulling the trigger.

As a Camaro 2SS 1LE owner who has been in the new Z, I'll say that infotainment is a instant no from me. The Camaro's infotainment is leagues ahead in responsiveness and design. The Z shifter also felt very spongey to me, granted the engine was off but you can still get a good feel of the shifting. I do like the Z legacy but hard pass on this one for me.
Your camaros interior is ass and for midgets lol

I feel like they could’ve done better with the grille it’s just a rectangle
I had a 350Z in silverstone with a burnt orange interior for several years. What an amazing car. Always got a lot of attention. Where I live people thought to was an exotic. Only issue, living in NY, was snow. With summer tires, I always had to be on top of the weather. Any snow at all would mean staying at home that day. Now I have a BMW M240i x-drive, so I can enjoy zipping around all those giant truck-like SUV's getting stuck in the snow without even thinking about it. I think the test spec is pretty close to what I would choose. Only things I don't 100 percent love on the new car are front grill (not bad but a little big for my taste, might look better in person) and the fact that you cant get a true DCT option. The available manual, I think, makes this much more attractive than the Supra. The styling is much more refined (IMO), and if you are looking at a Supra, you can get a new M240i which has similar underpinnings but is more practical and has AWD. Camaro SS is a great car too. I've rented them and the v8 is a lot of fun. It's just a little too big and hard to see out for my personal taste. I prefer a tighter, smaller sports car in general. This new Z would be on my short list in it's price range for sure. Only question would be whether to go up a bit and get a lower option Corvette, but then if I did that, I would then want to go all out and get a Z06! For the price and performance in this segment, I don't see anything touching it. Great review! Oh, and yes, also great camera work!
Wow looks even better in the wild 😎 takeoffs and drive-by was amazing
Beautiful machine 😍.
You can say that again!
Love camaros and love Z cars but I'd never pick this over owning a camaro SS. The blue and black is a killer combo though love it 😀
I'd pick this over my Camaro SS. Can't feel the road in my SS like I could in my 370.
@@itsathejoey the Nissan is definitely more agile in turns and more road feel. I love a good sounding V8 though and although the camaro feels heavier and it is I prefer it. I had a 350z for awhile never drove the 370 but sure it had some improvements for sure! 🙂
Great review and comparing 👍
Don’t even think about getting the sour cream. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Hi Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2022 Toyota Supra 3.0 Premium
Stay tuned!
We all know , there’s a company making a front bumper for this Z . That grill is disgusting but the rear end 😮💨
This looks good! Thanks for the review!
You are so very welcome!
Great performance car for people under 6’ ft tall larger people really need to go for something a little larger. Great video, I was thinking the same about the possibility of a vent on the front of the business for brake venting.
Definitely marking my calendar for the May.. On Throttle!!!👍🏽
They need to offer an AWD version of this car. In stock form RWD is fine. However, once modified it is going to really need AWD to put the torque down.
Lol no. Makes no sense.
That... Wouldn't make sense when the Q50 exists..
The fastest cars on earth are 2wd - awd is for noobs
you need an audi tt rs 400 hp AWD car that runs 11s.
@@bacawaka2813 OR... the Z's big brother - GTR that will bury the Audi
Kudos to Nissan for bringing the Z back, with a stick
Try not to compare it to cars like the Camaro, which offers a 455 HP V8 for $35k (LT1)
This car should be smaller and lighter, so the performance won't suffer much
I think it is worthwhile to
Love the car. Great review. Those hoods over the instrument cluster and gauges seem a bit of a tacked-on afterthought, though. Maybe it looks better in person. That is probably my only zonk.
I'm in love with this car inside and out. Can't wait for more videos on this Joe.
that engine bay looks like a nightmare to work on lol stoked for this car though. Its gonna come down to the new Type R or this for me. I really wanted the 4cyl Supra but extremely difficult to get it over here for some reason.
The chip shortage MaYbE!!?!?
Two different cars really
I own a 2021 FK8 and will be buying a Z if the price is around 45 to 50k with ADM included - they will be making way more of these than the Rs.
The R is a razor sharp scapel that loves grip driving.
The Z is more of a relaxed GT sports car - its fun but not as serious as the R
My Z will be more of a high speed street cruiser build - lowered, work 5 spoke Meister wheels and 305s if I can fit them lol. 600whp on pump ethanol goal
My R is a daily with lots of high speed runs/sweepers/hairpins daily - really pushed hard on a daily basis. Most folks dont have access to roads like I use daily.
The Z for me is more of a powerful cruiser - wont really be pushing it to 10/10ths on the street but will access that power it has.
So I would say if your only going to pick one - consider your driving habbits - if you like to push cars to the edge....youll LOVE the R
If your more relaxed and want effortless top end highway speed, smooth ride and like to cruise....Z
I need both lol Both so good at what they do
4cyl Supra hahhahahahah how gay
@@TheFK8Life I appreciate your opinion! I’m well aware of the difference in both vehicles🙂 your opinion on which one to buy for what may not be aligned with my objectives for either of them. But I like your approach to beating on one and cruising with the other. I’d probably just enjoy it stock and wait for parts to be developed. I really like the FK8, solid that you own one. Can’t wait for the new CTR to be unveiled 🤤🤤
Whoah! Careful on that Supra. Mixed parts between BMW and Toyota. Many complaints already about being extremely difficult to get correct parts let alone installing. Modifying has been and will continue to be a very expensive nightmare.
