Out of the box SS barely takes it. BUT, since the Z is turbocharged, I bet a tune will really wake it up and put it ahead of an SS.

And you can still turbocharge the SS…

The fact that the base Z has an open differential is just astonishing. At least they offer LSD on the higher trims. Doubt you will see a Z with LSD under $45K, making an LT1 or 1SS a bargain. They might be a tad quicker with a tune, but any FI LT1 should walk even a tuned Z. They will need turbo and fuel upgrades to put a hurting on FI LT1s, and that requires deep pockets.

Comparing non-stock is pointless. Because then it's just an arms race that comes down to who has deeper pockets.

I don't like the looks of it. Doesn't have nice lines like the Camaro.

I'd say they're trying to bring back some design cues from the past generations. It's not horrible, but I agree the Camaro just looks more muscular by comparison. It will be kind of sad that we aren't going to get to see Nissan try and come out with something to top the Supra I6 and Supra try and counter. With the switch to electric performance, car manufacturers would be kind of crazy to keep trying to push the ICE envelope. |

No, that's not how it works. Turbo engines have a unique ability to significantly increase their power by increasing the boost and gas that's forced into the cylinders, as long as the turbo and injectors can support this. Simply mods like opening up the downpipe with a tune can make a huge difference. There's usually a good margin on these stock for various conditions and to keep the engine cool and a tune can bring out a significant amount of power, as in 10-25% more than stock, well over what you can get by doing a "tune" or race-gas in an NA engine. You generally have to go to pretty extreme lengths to do the same in a NA engine without FI, such as full exhaust headers+cams and tune, and even then sometimes it's not anywhere near the difference.

why not just be happy theres one more new sports car in the world?styling is subjective,and if it gives an SS a good run for the money its gotta be a good performer.i think we all know that time and r&d money are getting short for ICE cars.nissan has at least invested in the next gen Z car...general motors will probably be phasing out the camaro in a couple of years unless it goes electric.

Not a fan at all. That, the Supra... they all just look the same. Blah... The Camaro is a much better looking car.
