The Nissan Nismo Z has arrived, and it's causing quite a stir. People are up in arms about the fact that it's only available with an automatic gearbox. Now, I understand the frustration. We all love a good old-fashioned manual transmission. But let's not be too quick to dismiss this car. The team at savagegeese is here to tell you that there's more to the Nismo Z than meets the eye.
First things first, let's talk about the exterior. The Nismo Z has undergone a makeover, with new front and rear fascias and arrow treatments. But the real magic happens underneath, where all the aerodynamic improvements are aimed at one thing: generating downforce. This car is one of the few in its class that can actually stick to the road like glue. And let's not forget about the suspension tuning, with stickier tires, stiffer bushings, and upgraded dampers and spring rates. This thing is built to handle.
Now, let's get to the heart of the matter: the engine. The Nismo Z is powered by a V6 turbocharged engine that pumps out 420 horsepower and 384 foot-pounds of torque. But that's not all. The ignition system has been upgraded, allowing for independent control of each cylinder. And they've even thrown in a more capable air to oil cooler. This car means business. Sure, it may not have a manual gearbox, but let's not forget that the decision was made to ensure the car could handle the increased power and torque while meeting quality and reliability standards.
