I love how you guys make the comparisons that don't make any sense to feel better about your purchases. You sound like EVERYBODY on here who floated to a mustang in 2011. The real competition is the maxima. Let's peep those stats for a second....

Nissan Maxima

HP. 300

Torque 261

Power train. 3.5 litre normally aspirated v6

Drive train. FWD

Transmission. 0 speed CVT

0-60. 5.9 seconds.

Sound system. 11 speaker unadvertised wattage.


Kia Stinger GT

HP. 365HP

Torque 376

Powertrain 3.3 twin turbo v6

Drive train RWD/FWD

Transmission 8 speed automatic w paddle shift

0-60. 5.1 estimated.

Sound system Harmon Kardon 15 speaker 720 watts


Now which one is the drivers car on paper? On top of that you can't tune 90HP out of it for $2,500 or less like most turbos. How much is it gonna cost us for 90HP.

I love my Z. It's a different n special car. But it's falling behind n I am not willing to lie to myself about the brand to feel better about my purchase. I can go out and buy a Z06 cash. So I have the option of having something else. What I want is a competitive Z done EXACTLY the way Kenchan explained what the Z needs to be.

As far as build quality. Well Hyundai is our quality competition.

Genesis outclasses infiniti quality to price so I think Kia isn't doing too bad considering.

Facts vs Bias fanboyism
Yes - sorry about that - you're absolutely right that I wasn't comparing eggs with eggs. The Stinger and the Z are not to be compared.

I still think it looks crap and plasticky though - just like the Toyota GT86 looks okay until you get close to it.

...and just a small correction, if I may - I'm not trying to make myself 'feel better' about my purchase. I've owned Z's since 2004, even tried a 2014 BMW M car and come back to the Z because I love it. I don't need to make myself feel better - I feel quite nice as it is, thank you - and have done for 12 years.

Finally, thank you for the 'fanboy' tag. At 64 it's the nicest compliment I've had for years
