Mini Review: Nissan Z NISMO

Weighing 3,700 lbs with an empty gas tank, I was expecting the worst. Another car designed to look good and appeal to the 16 year olds, but when it came to a corner, this car would be seeing more guard rails and telephone poles than apexes. I was wrong. It can get to 60 in a modest 4.0 seconds, and while there is a 6-speed manual which I recommend, it also has a 9-speed automatic, which is a crime in this car. If you get this car with an automatic you deserve to go to jail. It looks nice, and is a real improvement visually from the last generation of beetle shaped Z cars.
