The 2023 Nissan Z Performance ($61,398 as specced in Canada, ~$52,310 in the US) is the newest iteration of the legendary Z sports car; the earliest of which dates back to 1969. It has 400 horsepower from a twin turbo V6, styling inspired by its classic heritage, and for the first time ever - electric power steering. The new Z is looking to be a powerful and stylish sports coupe, capable of going head to head with its competition. Thomas and James give the Z Performance a run down on both the road and the Throttle House test track. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!

  • This felt like a really balanced review. Most (all?) of the "early" reviews of this car had presenters gush about what a great value this "$40,000" car is while driving the 50k version. It drove me a little bonkers.
  • @zdream720
    I liked instantly when Thomas power-slid accidentally. Such dedication to the art of thorough reviewing.
  • Gotta appreciate how great/ consistent a driver Thomas is. Kept his time within like a tenth of a second! Love it!
  • @clsr1911
    "I'm not your buddy, guy." Well played, sir. I love the SP reference.

    Throttle House reminds me of Top Gear from the mid 2000s. Visually pleasing video production, humor thoughtfully mixed in, lap times, quirky hosts that each have their own distinct charisma. But what makes them so reminiscent of Clarkson, Hammond, and May is that they’re genuine friends hanging out, and we are there to hang with them by watching the videos
  • @NXT_LVL
    It's under sprung, grinds the engagement into 2nd, heavy and underpowered... yes I can understand why Nissan said, "No Drift for you"
  • @robbyrockets1
    As the owner, of a 22 Camaro SS 1LE, I couldn't agree more, that this is a true, world class track car that can be driven on a daily basis. Absolute steal for the money, damn shame their gone after 23.
  • @vovap9257
    Hands-down a brilliant review, you guys. For me, this really transcended the typical "show and tell" that hits the car's highs and lows without really getting into the weeds to become an engaging, detailed, brilliantly shot and told story about what the car really is. Despite being a Track Series video, this told me more about the Z than any other review of it that I've watched (and I really loved the contrast with the Camaro). Great, great work.
  • The way these guys are making reviews is astonishing. Always keeps you at interest, is very informative and also tell you what you don’t always want to hear about a car. Keep up the good work guys we love you 👍 ( the humour though 😂 )
  • I 💯 PERCENT enjoy the fact you guys aren't afraid to ruffle feathers for honest reviews!
  • @Alex-cd7fo
    As a second owner of a 2003 350z owner I felt that grind of gears. Mine had the infamous 3rd gear grind. I replaced it with a low mile 2007 transmission with a stage 3 race clutch. I ended up selling it to the 3rd owner who turned it into a race car.
  • @alpenjodel24
    Love it that you guys are still real. I know two other car reviewers that just praise every car they drive. This is what real car journalism is.
  • “If you want to swallow your enemies, you need a big mouth” Thomas’ face when James says that 😭😂
  • @WhomstActual
    I have a 22 SS 1LE. Same one as in video color and all... and that car surprises me all the time. Went to a track day and hot lapped it repeatedly and it had zero complaints. Such a good car for the money. Secured mine custom ordered for $48,000 USD and in my opinion thats the perfect price for a car with 6 fluid heat exchangers, 6 piston brakes, v8, manual, ELSD, good trackable tires and a chassis that laughs at whatever you throw at it
  • @tanman2813
    I love how the straight pipes were not about drifting it at all!! Love it. They also mentioned the grinding
  • @k1ng617
    Excellent and fair review. Fun, informational, and well paced. Thank you!
  • @Moonshield13
    This is one of the best reviews and performances you guys have done in a while. My side was hurting by the end of it. James was in rare form. Thomas’ track expertise and honest opinions of the Z are insightful and appreciated.
  • @SlickSniper3
    One of the only non biased takes on the Z. Throttle house once again does it right. Great channel guys. Hope I can catch your next throttle house and collecting cars meet next year.
  • @teep8521
    I take comfort in knowing that the latest team at Nissan is taking feedback well these days and reacting, I’m confident Nissan hasn’t shown all its cards yet and is shaking up the scene, everyone else will up there ante to what they think is Nissans best and BOOM. Remember how the GTR had an amazing run as the sports car to rival back in the day.. excited to see Z phase 2
  • I know that we went through a couple decades where a lot of American sports cars were built by accountants more than engineers, but I think we've passed that time and American sports cars can go toe-to-toe with some of the best European and Japanese cars. Sure you're not going to get a hand-built Pagani, but you're going to get a really bang for your buck, capable machine that's not overly pretentious.
