NISMO, Nissan's in-house performance division, wants you to believe their clients care about better lap times with this vehicle, and that's why it's automatic only. I don't believe their clients only want that, and if they did, they wouldn't be spending $67,000 on a brand new Z to achieve this goal. Fortunately, despite the lack of a stick, the NISMO Z has a ton going for it. It's tighter, more engaging, more responsive, much faster, and a lot more fun to drive than the standard Z Performance or Sport, and compared to its competition, the BMW M2 and Mustang Dark Horse, it's cheaper too. And in our opinion, though it's not as fast, it's more fun to drive than the current GTR. In this first drive, we hit Sonoma Raceway in the NISMO Z and see what it's all about.
