Jason Cammisa and Randy Pobst compared the Z and the Supra on the track at Willow Springs. Their comparison also includes appearances of the Subaru WRX, Mazda Miata, Hyundai Veloster N and the Jaguar F-Pace SVR.
Yup, another great video from them is this that covers how the Supra stacks up to the Z4 and M2 CS.Great video. He is becoming the spiritual successor to what top gear but with actual info along with the entertainment
It's a shame the auto Z was a full 2 secs off the supra on track
After reading your comment, I went back and rechecked the video at 13:00. Yes, you're correct. 155mph is kind of disappointing for a 400hp. I am amazed how tactfully he turned that into a positive tone in the review. Isn't it?Did anyone notice the limited top speed between the Sport and Performance?

155mph with the spoiler and 136mph without.
That's the first time I have heard about this.
I mean, I have never had my 370z to the limit... 👀
A 136mph limiter just seems really low for a 400hp car.
I was actually upset about the 155mph limiter on the 370z, so I can't imagine 136.
We can always try disabling it, like what 370Z owners have done via an ECU piggyback.Did anyone notice the limited top speed between the Sport and Performance?

I don’t know why anyone cares about speed limiters. VIRTUALLY NOBODY ever bumps up against them. It’s uncommon to find any stretch of hwy where it’s safe to exceed 100mph safely for any period of time, forgetting getting arrested for three figure speeding in most states. C’mon. Besides, anyone with half an automotive brain knows the Z - ungoverned - would likely be able to do well over 170mph. One website quotes 185mph as the theoretical top speed of an ungoverned Q60 Red Sport. Someone will eventually remove the limiter on a Z and tell us exactly what its true top speed capability is.Did anyone notice the limited top speed between the Sport and Performance?
