NISMO vs the gutless wonder!! 86

JDotCDot

Dude stop. What was that all about? The Supra was her high school car (before F&F came out) so she's been waiting for it for a long time. No need to hate on her. Stop making Z community look bad with this childish hating.

By the way, she's getting the Supra at MSRP. She worked hard to get this car and waited a long time to get it. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean you need to bring down the excitement of others.

Anyway, you're way off topic and you're spamming the thread. This thread is supposed to be about the NISMO and the TRD 86.

People just like to hate on a car they don't have.

I like the BRZ/86 platform, they are more fun to drive in the corners, but dreadfully slow on the straights. They are the most fun cars I driven at autocross.

The Supra looks cool to me, sure it looks a little too racerish but it's also what makes it different. It's gonna blow the doors off a bolt-on Z unless you go FI, too bad they only made it in Auto and not DCT or manual.

Dude, chill. I’m not hating on your sister. Overreact much? Must of touched a nerve, huh?

I didn’t realize your sister was reading my opinions and was so easily triggered. I’m sorry, Sis!

Mr. Pot meats Mr. Kettle....

Hmmmm.... I don’t have a Ferrari, yet I don’t hate on it.

Weird, right?

Ferrari?

I think it is about time to lock down this thread....

nis350

That is exciting to be the first.... be sure to post some feedback.

I don't think Mr. Kettle wants Mr. Pot's meat anywhere near him!

Mine was an e36, and a 328i not an M, so your comparison is different from mine, though that's inconsequential given the subjective nature of your statement. While I'll give it a nod for balance, exhaust note, and obviously engine smoothness and torque curve (with the melodious straight six, none of those were ever up for debate), power difference aside, it didn't corner even remotely close to the Z. It was easier to feel out the limits though, whereas that certainly takes time in the Z. Interior, meh, no different from touring other than the wood finishes and inferior HK stereo (moonroof was nice though). Having only test driven new 335s back when I was looking at the Z, I can't really give any meaningful feedback on them other than the fact that their footprints felt WAY too big, their body roll was noticeable, and there was some lag in the throttle. I also didn't appreciate the lack of that analog mpg counter at the bottom of the instrument cluster. Obviously the e46 didn't suffer from that shortcoming to the same degree, but even it was a pig compared to the e36 size wise.

To counter your point though, in Motortrend skid pad tests the e46 m3 had a lateral g rating of .86 whereas the Z (sport package) pulled .91-1.01, so with respect to cornering, your memory of the e46's cornering ability may be a bit hazy. Also, the e46 m3 was only a $45k car so the comparison seems fair enough.

LOL!

Apparently, not near his sister either...

MZ DAIZY

I had no idea there were so many easily triggered sky screamers on this forum.

I apologize. The new Supra is mostest awesomest car that has ever come off an assembly line!

I’m sorry for not seeing it before... please accept my sincere apologies.

I don't know why anyone gives two sharts what some random person on, or off, the internet thinks of anything. I'm currently driving a '13 Fiat 500 so the 86, 370z and Supra all sound awesome to me.
