2024 Nissan Z Nismo | The Automatic Tragedy 

Got to test the fart absorption rating

Thank you Jakub, this was a lot of fun to watch. You were a very convincing stand-in. I was able to suspend my disbelief almost until the end, but then you didn't get carsick on track... Alas, the spell was broken.😢 Which is okay though, because the Corvette outro wouldn't have worked. Well played.👍👍

You did great btw! What a nice surprise! Both your channels are awesome

You guys are so different in review style, I feel like the combo is the best!

these canadians are always so nice.

hahaha! this is the comment

i thought they would do the review on this channel while these two did the review on the straight pipes channel. what gives? wheres YURI and MARK???

With a short break for a fanny pack comparison!

Please God no

I need to see them torture test a 2023 Pacifica. 12 hour road trip in the car with only one quick pit stop, starting at Arby's and ending at Myrtle Beach.

Bow down to the porcelain god.

I had my legs amputated after watching the Lucid 90minute video on the throne.

Aw yes, the blood-letting bowl

What!? Are you me right now?

Same.

Mf Altima drivers!! 😂

So, lots of love in your life then?

big altima energy

It's like 13% of the drivers causing 60% of the problems.

Altima are king of the road !!

I still haven't seen one in the wild in Canada. I still don't believe it's an actual car.

Prices will kill most fun cars soon enough, and only volume sellers will remain.

Only one I have seen here in Oklahoma is at the Nissan dealer. It is used with 1200 miles and they won’t let it go for less than $62K. Rather have a used Jaguar F-Type or CPO Cayman for that price.

Quick internet search, I see two in inventory: one at $78,500 with a $63,500 sticker, approximately the stupidness I expected; and one at $74,999 with a $67,205 sticker, what a deal. (Note, I didn't see the actual sticker, so I wouldn't be surprised if that 67,205 includes a $4k paint protection package in their claimed msrp) At any rate, yes. The dealer markup will strangle this car in the crib before anybody gets a chance to be disappointed by the transmission. 🤦

I would not feel comfortable owning a Nisan tbh …

If you've got a problem with Canada Gooses, you've got a problem with me. And I suggest you let that one marinate.

Gr corolla is much more fun for much cheaper

@@christopherbassit2757 GR Corolla is a car I really want to test. I would say the $66k price of this Z is problematic when compared to the $63k base price of the 718 Cayman. I have tested the base model Cayman and I have tested the performance model Z and while the Z is faster in a straight line the Cayman is better in every other category. Another issue is the $56k 3.0 premium Supra and I have tested that and it’s faster than the Z and less money. The base C8 is $64k and it’s far superior to the Z. The price of this Nismo is playing in a league it can’t compete with.

Yeah they missed the mark big time, for 66k I can turn a stick shift base model into a beast with some SPL Parts, Wavetrac, Öhlins, Z1 and AMS goodies!

@@anydaynow01 Absolutely!!!

⁠@@anydaynow01my FBO Q60 RS AWD will smoke this thing in a heartbeat LOL‼️ Nissan/Nismo have missed the mark & have lost me as a costumer, no innovation & parts bin material @ best. Only product Nissan has that is semi-interesting is the GTR of course & that’s already out dated, but an iconic JDM car nonetheless. I get Nissan has no $ for R&D, but the competition has left them behind.

Agreed, but they have to keep excitement for the model and brand.

Dealers can’t get them because nobody is ordering them, this car is a flop.

​@@mr.butterworth4216because they are so damn expensive for what they offer 😂 nobody needed this to be upscaled with luxury bits. So sad

I read an article that placed the total sales since launched at 650.

@@Tetsujin-28 Wow. Well, if that’s the case, no wonder why they have such a limited budget.

Almost brought a tear to my eye as a supra owner❤️

toyota gr inlin3 in a gr86

I’m with him. The B58 is automotive perfection and the greatest internal combustion engine ever. Wait.. there’s the S58. Well I’ll call it a tie between them.😂🎉

@@jaymum23 b58 sounds better tho 👍🏼

@@carsonbrummell4715 Than the S58? I can only go off videos I haven’t driven one (Sixt keeps blocking me from renting an M3 in Miami lol). It sounds great. The couple times I’ve been behind the wheel of a B58 car yes it’s incredible. I lower the windows to eliminate the speaker-generated nonsense in Sport/Sport+ and it’s like a smoother N52 (the ones I own) with a more pronounced exhaust note. Yummy!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So true for the past year I've only seen 2

Still waiting on my order for almost 2 years, Nissan can't make even a handful of cars 😂

​@@glovedcop691 for me. Seen more Ferraris & Lamborghinis & C8s. Even the dealers don't have the Z. 😂

@@glovedcop69 lucky not seen one in uk

Right?? Literally seen ONE moving on a road since it came out Wtf are they doing

That’s a straight up lie seeing how the cd00a can handle 3 to 4 times the power of what a 350z could.

“couldn’t meet qdr with +20hp” could very well mean we didn’t have the budget to test the transmission again.

@@drewprewit's said in the video - Nissan has a minimal budget for this project, and not spending time and money on making two transmissions might have helped to finish this version altogether. They have so little money, that they invited only one person from YT channels.

​@@juanc5149The 370z never had the CD009 trans

@@KTH96 It had the FS6R31 which is at least it’s equal if not even better.

Combined with some wise words from Mark! In truth I think the duo found their Hamster(Bear?!), The Orangutan (Clarkson)= Silverback Jack, Capt. Slow = Mark, and B. Casey jr. is their tame racing driver!

Don't care for straight pipes, they just shill out to dogshit sponsors

no it isn't. straight pipes is boring. they're riding savagegeeses coattails

No it isn't. Straight Pipes are straight up amateurs and little boys compared to Savage Geese.

A good channel would be preferable over SP

It's pronounced Kneesarn!

Yes Dave would be awesome! I think he would get along very well with Mark and Jack.

I don’t think Throttle House likes to acknowledge there are other RU-vid car channels. Otherwise they’d be hanging out with their Str8 Pipe neighbours. Yes, neighboUrs.

@@morstyrannis1951they're collaborated with jason cammisa and chris harris. I forget exactly what happened but a couple of years back there was some beef between TSP and TH. I didn't really watch TSP anyways - they got boring real quick since every review follows the same layout and just spouts facts I could find with a google search anyways...but I do remember feeling like it was mostly from their end that the conflict was happening so it just made me like them even less. All that to say I don't think TH has anything against other reviewers at all, there's just a fair bit of logistics involved in getting people together especially when they're in different countries and as busy as car reviewers generally are, which is why you don't really see reviewers collabbing all that often.

Tonally?

​@@RS3NDITstraight pipes guys think that throttle house guys stole their formula. (2 guys chatting in a car and what not) hopefully the beef is resolved now

Update. I now see multiple S650’s daily to the point where they are no longer special. My nearest dealer has 9 Mustangs in stock, all discounted. I still have only ever seen one 400z.

Agreed, they missed the mark with this, they should have just stuffed a beefed up CD009 in this. If I want a 70k automatic car I'm going to buy a gently used low km R35 GT-R that's been sitting in an old persons garage for a few years.

I mean the GTR pulled it off back in the day

@@Lifeof728 To be fair the R35 GT-R was ahead of it's competitors when it came out and it's predecessors had a cult following. The 370z had a lukewarm reception at best and when compared to other choices, the new Z just ain't it. It also doesn't help that it's easier to acquire a brand new GT-R than a new Z lol

Yea when the gtr was released at this price

Ever heard of the GTR Nismo?

Yeah it seems like an amazing car....but 65 grand buys A LOT of Cayman.

@@KC-lg8qf For the 70k for a new Cayman I would go with the CT4-V Blackwing instead. Not that I'm not a fan of the Cayman but that Blackwing is just awesome.

I disagree, for Nissan the Z is a flagship car that they feature on their television ads about living for the drive, yada yada yada. Which is a lot better than BMW not advertising the Z4 at all. That being said, for a car that their marketing department loves to show off, it seems like their production engineers and factories just can't get them produced. Maybe they need an Elon to camp out at the factory and fire everyone who is impeding progress

@@CarsMeetsBikes the GTR is still the flagship.... especially with it's recent facelift. They don't spend time marketing it because cars like that don't need marketing.

@@David-mm5vlnah think it’s better to get a used 992 cayman GTS for 70k.

thats not controversial

That’s fair but than again look at how many manual 911’s Porsche is offering 😭

Have you actually sat in an ev? I hated em until a tesla sepersted my body feom my soul......speed alone on ev!!!! Is phenomenal

​@@spencermorris1148Zzzz straight line speed no handling no soul and iPads for controlling everything.

@@spencermorris1148 straight line speed and no sound is not why we drive sports cars bot

True. Good thing they didn't do that.

A JATCO CVT

They made that joke in the tsp video lol

Nissan has no rwd cvt cars

And That would be the End of the Z .... surely nissan knows that.

I think Altima drivers should be like kamikaze drivers in season 2! I think they nailed it with an AWD Subi being JD's car though, only other choice would be a GT-R, gotta be AWD in the apocalypse!

I got an altima for you

@@papa_pt Does it come with a Jatco CVT that fails after 50k miles? If so, I'll take it!

@@joshgts9675 only if you're driving it like it should

Yeah, I've been worried my 520 score is gonna be a bit too high. Might have to go to a Dodge dealer.

nice

I died laughing!

Whatever happened to that guy?

I had to scroll waaaaaay to far down to see someone else notice this!

Did you ever make your purchase?

When you doing one with Mark?

Me who watches both channels trying to figure out if I'm an older or a younger audience 😅

Savagegeese is #1 with hospice patients and nursing homes.

i was thinking savagese and ISSIMI and throttle house

Base M2 looks awful

​@@jw6188subjective.

​@@jw6188At least it comes with a manual.

manual in base m2 feels like toys tho so you not missing anything either way @@TheRotConsumes.

​@@jw6188lol I guess they're alike in that way

Shit I'm dying🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yup. This is the last Z generation. It’s not doing well, so Nissan is going to discontinue it eventually. Nissan being broke doesn’t help either. Unless they decide to make it electric.

@@faheemabbas3965 I agree, they need to keep it turbo and stick shift. Just keep cranking this chassis out as a base model, enough states will refuse to go EV that they will still make a profit from folks who are willing to go out of state to buy one. With how stiff the chassis has become this is just a Miata + mo powah baby! I just need the shell and a good solid turbo JDM engine with a CD009 bolted to the back of it, the aftermarket will take care of the rest!

I needed to show jakub michael bays america

@@jackholmes8105 What do you think we get via Canadian broadcasting Jack, Canadian movies???? 5 to 50 year old movies from 'Murica are on all. the. time. 😂

I mean the supra is around 60k and has worse suspension compared and when they compared the supra to the M2 they said the supra has a lot more feedback so I'm not sure you would've ever gotten what you wanted out of this car. It's also around the same price of the dark horse:/ while yes we know Nissan could do better it does stack well against the competition

?? Usually more expensive cars go auto only. Look at bmw, porsche, etc

@@ciello___8307 the two companies you just named make manuals. The 911 S/T is $290K and a manual

Our production team went all out

How much do you think the supra costs?

@@elisalsa24 I dunno. 40oz and a hand job?

@@elisalsa24 cost and value make the Z a bad deal. The Supra at least has value to match the cost. A warmed over 370z is not worth $65k. I can get a Camaro SS 1LE that would embarrass the Z in every way for less.

@@AmericanDuck well again thats something that you as the buyer would have to decide over, like a couple years ago you were able to get a Camaro ZL1 for around 65k and now its impossible with the markups. For me I value handling over many things and the Z handles better than the supra and if it was a manual and did cost the same as the supra premium I would buy, but the camaro ss 1le is also cheaper than the supra and is around performance but with way better handling feel so you could say the same about the supra being a bad buy compared to the camaro. You can use the camaro for a lot of arguments in the coupe performance sector of cars

@@elisalsa24 yeah, the price of the Nismo is going to $85k or higher for the foreseeable future. I see regular performance package Zs for $58k for sale and anything with a performance package and dealer added accessories for the $60k+. I see used ones from private party for over 70K. Those were supposed to MSRP for $41k, but there isn’t a dealer around that will sell the base model so we can mod it. I can get a Supra MT A91 used for $69K right now, so it’s not really a going to be something where I would wait for the Z. I can get a ZL1 for the $70-80k new. That Nismo is going to be a unicorn with a cheap interior and expensive, so it’s still not value for money. New or used. The Supra handles well enough and a Camaro ZL1 would thrash them both. The Supra interior is much better for a taller driver like myself. I have a Miata for doing canyons. The Supra would be more of a daily.

ok this one made me laugh until I started coughing

Yes. Seconded.

I have yet to see a new Z in the wild. Not sure why that is, because it is certainly a very stylish design with a ton of tribute details from previous Z cars. I don't know if it's supply chain issues, or if they've simply priced the car above what the intended fan base can tolerate. At any rate, this Nismo variant is priced right in line with the Supra, which has the magnificent B58 and a proper transmission.

I have no doubt that Nissan will sell every single z nismo. The Z’s problem isn’t that it doesn’t sell, it’s that Nissan doesn’t make enough of them (kinda like most enthusiast cars nowadays)

2002 Ford Thunderbird rollout vibes.....

I've seen like 4 (and one of them might've been the same car twice) and it seems like the only good thing Nissan has going for the new Z is the design and engine.

@@dougrobinson8602 I don’t think Nissan can afford to make them…
