In the latest episode, TheStraightPipes take on the 2024 Nissan Z Nismo, a car that promises speed and excitement but falls short in some crucial areas. While they praise its impressive performance and sleek design, the team can't overlook the glaring absence of a manual transmission, a cardinal sin for any true driving enthusiast. Launch control proves to be a cumbersome challenge, requiring a convoluted sequence of actions that leaves them scratching their heads.
Despite its shortcomings, the Nismo model boasts enhancements like revised suspension tuning and larger brake rotors, elevating its on-road capabilities. Inside, the car features a user-friendly infotainment system, Nismo-specific gauges, and striking red accents that add a touch of sportiness. However, the paddle shifters fail to deliver the satisfying driving experience one would expect from a car of this caliber, leaving the team yearning for more engagement behind the wheel.
As they navigate the twists and turns of the road, the team can't help but draw comparisons to past Nismo models, particularly the 370Z Nismo, which holds a special place in their hearts. The lack of a manual transmission in the new Z Nismo is a bitter pill to swallow, especially considering the potential this car has to offer. Despite its flaws, the car shines in terms of handling and performance, hinting at its true potential on the track.
