Yes!!!

Now, like the Aston review, NEVER do viewer submissions again. Or at least not for a few years.

omg...it’s fucking GOLD...

It's a shame how many times I listen to that part!!

Nah it's definitely the "BROWN" jokes and the "MY BLARHRBALAHRV is better that you're BLARHRBALAHRV"

Z32 Japanese bullet train... It was anything but bullet train-looking.

Have seen numerous Zs and been around a few Shinkansen, I can see the resemblance. Especially compared to the hideous Z31.

Werd. To roughly quote EverydayDriver, "...a spaceship could land in your front lawn and you'd still look at the 300ZX". My TT is anything but a show car but jeeeeeeez the attention it gets...hilarious, man.

NoBrakes23 You look hideous..

Z32 2+2 does feel like driving a bullet train.. a long wide heavy car.... holds the road and the handling somehow gets better the faster you go :) I think the 300zx has some of the best aerodynamics of any car... I know on paper newer cars apparently have better aero.. but just look at the Z32!! This thing slices through the air! Also don't forget that the Jun/Blitz Z32 did 260mph on the Bonneville Saltflats... fastest record in E/BMS! 260 is Shinkansen territory!

But...... the c4 is post1984....

@Brandon Krause the c4 doesnt look like its from '82? Seeing that the c4 is from '84 and after.... just a little nitpick. Doesnt mean much other than what it means.

the 300zx is still slower than the ugliest corvette ever made

That wasn't even a 90 Vette interior. Besides Corvettes don't age thayt why they are collected and celebrated. That Nissan is in the Junk yard or rattling down the street somewhere.

RayJ-HT I dunno man, every 300z I see around here is in great condition. While most the c4s are parked in yards with a covering of leaves and a strange dirt residue that makes them all appear a grey shade of brown. Of course there's exemptions, but..

@@LakeHowellDigitalVideo well the design for the z was before the facelifted c4 so it works ok

This was the NA which have about 222 HP and no twin turbo.

>twin turbo v6 Did you not hear him saying "naturally aspirated"?

It's a boat. FWIW the mk4 Supra isn't a sports car, either. Both of them are just frames to hold an overboosted motor for lame drag racing.

ConnorWolf Fun fact the Z32 don't have airbags their reason for it is kind of retarded they said they can't have a steering wheel that can move up with a airbag, so they didn't even put one in it.

My z32 has an air bag. And its a 1992.

So that's only on the Twin Turbo model than

my '91 has a drivers air bag

I thought the 96 got the LT4 with 330 hp and the LT5 in the Zr-1 was quad cam

It does? That’s pretty cool

Chris Thompson No, it doesn’t... They just LOOK like they do so everyone just comes to the conclusion that they are...

Moug MeDuro oh well thanks

They do its a fact. Lamborgini didnt have headlights ao the took ones from nissan and coverd them with carbon fiber

@@mougmeduro7017 yes they absolutely do use the 300zx headlight... and your idol Doug Demuro even says this. Under the eyelid of the Lambo headlight is the Nissan engraving still.on the headlight.

This episode really needed better fact checking. The Corvette facts were wrong, and what gives with heaping praise on the Z31? He complains about no high end power, that single cam Z31 is worse than the Z32, especially the single turbo version.

+hypocycloidiaspora pretty sure the praise was more based on sales than the actual car.

1992-1996 base corvettes had 300hp and 330-340 ft-lbs of torque, but idk why he used early zr1 figures as the base model ratings....

+hypocycloidiaspora exactly im disappointed with this review the Z32 was a wonderful and fun to drive car especially the turbo version.

the corvette in the video is not a 94 either, does not have the rounded rear end of that model

Armoured Skeptic wait what. You're on a rcr video?

After reading some of these comments in this video, I fully agree with you on that.

Armoured Skeptic :D

Already feeling the effect as my auto museum has one up on display.

Armoured Skeptic I’m 20 not that it matters and I have an imported 300zx (rhd model) twin turbo, t-top. I go against a lot of what he says but my car is also upgraded in the sense of suspension, wheels, injectors, CA intake, blow offs, etc.aking around 500whp on stock internals, stock trans, stock block. I love the car with everything I think it handles perfectly and can never get over the way it looks. It’s truly an underrated and over looked car. Thanks for reading if ya do.

Or whatever year he thinks makes all the horsepowerz... God this is bad...

ZR1

I'm sorry. Yes. I read the ZR1 numbers instead of Base.

Actually, he was referring to the base corvette with a K&N air filter which everyone knows makes about 374hp. But the "Ain't Skeered" stickers bring them down to around 364ish.

Yes, once again we see that KZfaqrs are not accredited journalists. You come here for a couple of tidbits, shots of warning labels, a lot of stuttering and filler, hope to get a chuckle, but forget about facts. No independent channel blows up for anything but entertainment.

Tee Bee i think a lot of the ragers are confused with the tt model. yes the tt is far beyond better performance than the na

Yeah I just did some research on the Z32 18 city 24 highway vs the Corvette's 17 city 27 highway and the NA Z32 gets about 222-300 Horses while our dumbass hillbilly C4 gets 300-405 Horses both same year

True true, Tool0GT92...my TT was built in late 89 and turns more heads than a super model in a frat house.

True. Icon status. Funnily enough compared to its JDM competition it was markedly slower. The VG30DETT could have been more than it was.

you get what you pay for? I guess this is the reasoning. Faster+part bin or slower+not partbin from Astrovan

Also the base corvette of the time had 250 hp, not 375, that was the ZR-1.

CockatooDude It was only from 84 til 92 though, during its time Z32 competed primarily with 300-330hp LT engine C4

I'm much more familiar with the 300Z. From what I can tell from Wikipedia ... the video was comparing the 1990-1992 C4 ZR1 with the LT5 engine producing 375HP to the 1994 (weaker version, normally aspirated) 300Z. The Corvette ZR1 in 1994 (the same year as this 300Z had an MSRP of about $66k. The base model C4 with the LT1 engine from 1994 produced 300HP which was about identical to the turbo 300z. A Car and Driver article calling the 300Z one of the 10 best cars of the year lists the price at $41k. So, the ZR1 he drove and showed is about 50% more money than the 300Z that he drove and showed. So, he looked at the faster much more expensive version of the corvette and compared it to a base model 300z. He also claimed that there were no substantial upgrades between the Z31 and Z32 (roughly time 1:50). The Z32 moved from single overhead cams to dual, and moved from a single turbo to a twin turbo system. They also made airbags standard (I'd call that major), and a short time later made passenger airbags standard. The sexy to glance at HP and torque numbers didn't change much, but car guys look past that. He also whined about a lack of top end grunt in the engine. The exact same engine that was designed to have not one, but TWO turbos providing all of the top end grunt. A normally aspirated 300z might as well be a fucking automatic, it's just not what people in the 90s who really cared about cars got! Sure seems like the real competition for this would be the RX7 (FD), and the Supra (JZA80). Maybe even the 3000GT. There were WAY too many errors in this video's content once I started looking. Really disappointed with this video.

+zero11010 Haha you really know C4's

Endyo LOOOL

Like a base

lol later Z's did NOT have 400hp. The fuck

Tristan Tannich What? No, I was referring to you comment about later Z (Z32) models having 405bhp, which they never did... Unless you accidentally mixed up the Corvettes and 300ZX's together, then that makes sense.

The 1996 had 330 horsepower if that counts for anything.

+Evan Hooper (Aluminia) hey, enough power for me. Z32 is awesome

LS swaps are for idiots. You didn't sound like one until you said that. Just tune it up and don't be an idiot.

Jeremiah It’s his car, dumbass. You sound like a dumbass as soon as you try to project your bullshit onto others.

I would personally swap in a TT engine, or just twin turbo the stock engine, but I can see why an LS would make sense.

I had a 90 z32 back in 2005,fucking loved it.... Handled very well. Got alot of compliments too

The 2+2 doesn't handle better. It's heavier and has awkward proportions because of the extra space needed for the back seats .

It should though.. It may be heavier but the longer wheelbase lets it handle better, I dunno what you mean about the awkward proportions either.. The TT models handle better partly from the Super-Hicas but thats if its still working and compared to an NA id personally like to say that the 2+2 is better. Doesnt look stubby either The 2+2's extra weight on the rear end and wheelbase should add for more balance This may also just be a preferance thing

100% agree. Own an NA and have driven a couple TTs. Both being easily one of the best handling cars I've driven (albeit, with RE-71Rs). Not the best, but one of. And when the knock sensor goes, its pulls a lot of timing out.. When mine did it drove just like he described, top end fell way off. But a properly working Z has a great high end power band. But this is just a product of driving cars that you don't own - when something is wrong, you can't tell, and probably assume it's just how the car drives. Also disappointing to see base Fairlady numbers compared to non-base C4 numbers. *smh*

+theboondocksrock Right? especially since even an NA engine nowadays can make 600hp fairly easy.. Not as reliable as a TT engine no but with tuning being more refined you can turbo a high compression engine just fine these days.. And TT engines will put out 600hp plus for some others stock , But thats asking for something to go. And yeah the det sensor will cause huge driving issues

Yeah I can agree! It was funny because I recently saw not one, but TWO of these at the same location across different days, all of which were souped up like street racers, which is funny because he starts off saying how it aint a racer. I too cannot remember the last time I saw this car.

+Kyle Merritt 300zx? Best car I've ever driven. I would love to drive one again

+Christopher Johnston hahahaha although im a jdm guy I'd get a c4 cuz yknow speed

+DarkHorizons I think it's understandable to not go one. Especially with the c7 I just think... Meh. To aggressive design. Would someone tell me : you have to have a corvette. I would either choose a c2 or c3. But there are so many cars I would prefer over it.

Yeah, I'd take a TT 300ZX over any Corvette made in between 1968 and 2013. I don't care how good the performance of the C5 and C6 is. The association with the trailer park, Bud Light and Donald Trump is too real. C7 though? I'd have to really consider.

Haha you’re awesome for that and I totally agree with your viewpoint! The 300ZX has always been way cooler than the 350Z

But who watches RCR for FACTUAL reviews anymore? No no you come here for some quality family oriented entertainment and so highly opinionated points on different vehicles.

I own both and I'm hear to tell you that this review will play great with the Jalopnik types but isn't even close to right. They're completely different cars with completely different missions. The Z is a GT car and the C4 is a more pure sports car. That's largely why the C4 focuses on the drivetrain and the Z focuses on the interior and materials. I can give a very, very long list as to why I love the Z more than the C4. But, the C4 is lovable in its own way too. Comparing the NA to a C4 is ridiculous.

I do enjoy the reviews for the humor, but the humor still needs to be grounded in facts or else why not just make the entire thing up. Not to mention these videos are usually shared by Road and Track Magazine... I think Mr. Regular would want his facts to be correct.

I think his bias towards the Z31 really got him away from what the Z32 is supposed to be. Then, to compare it to a C4 is pretty nuts. The C4 was meant to just go fast... and it also had an interior. The Z32 was supposed to be the kind of car you take your significant other out on a comfy date in but COULD scare her a bit on the ride home.

What Johnkilo said. Kinda ironic in a way that one of my favorite KZfaq car channels doing basically my favorite car ever (I have a TT...) resulted in my least favorite video of theirs.

Z31 / Z32...not S....but I agree

The 88-89 Z31 was far better looking than the Bar-Of-Soap Z32....Just the opinion of a lifetime Z car fan.

@@TheSaturnV put down the booze. You'll see things more clearly. The Z31 was a pine derby car design. Of the 80's sports cars/coupes/2+2's, it was the least heralded car by the automotive press. On the other hand, the Z32 was continually praised throughout it's production years by the motoring press and was a lauded as breathing life back into the Z car after the 7 year dud that was the Z31. Personally, I don't dislike the Z31; but there's nothing outstanding about it when compared to the vehicles of it's time. I grew up in the 80's and was a car junky. Nobody, and I mean nobody gave two shits about the Z31. We all wanted IROCs, T/A's, 'Vettes, Supras and hell, even the Starion/Conquest twins were more sought after than the Z31. But hey, whatever floats your boat there boss. Just the opinion of a lifetime car fan.

Nicholas Doney doesnt matter if its their favorite, he screwed up litterally every fact

Its one thing to be critical. It's another to be critical based on blatantly inaccurate information.

To agree with the other two replies, the reason people are ripping this review apart is because his background info going in is aggressively wrong and the specific car seems to be a little neglected.

+JHowardDesign my dad says the fastest car he's ridden in was a c4 corvette. that poor poor man.

In fairness, the chassis is pretty mind blowing with good grippy tires. However, the single piston calipers are awful. Also, the amount of power you got from the factory was awful. The Z32 came with 4 piston from calipers and twin piston rears. Great attention was paid to maximizing grip while having a compliant ride without high NVH. It's just a different car. Such a shame your dad hasn't ridden in more cars.

I caught that too. My 1992 c4 only had around 300-330. i wish it was at 375

@@jonathonhebert7042 so if he reviews a V6 mustang and says it’s shit, his opinion isn’t valid because there is a shelby gt500?

@@Andrei-eb2duI think we can agree that the base model of every car is going to be worse than the best, it's obviously the entire point of the trim levels. Reviewing the lower model basically just disregards the top trim. That's not why I don't like the guy though. He reviewed the Dodge Stealth and just bashed the hell out of it, kinda similar to what he did to this car. It's helpful to no one to have utterly ridiculous reviews. The stealth review started with "overhyped, overpriced, overly complex, and slow". He missed the entire point of the car in one fell swoop. (Also the stealth was one of the fastest cars of the time so that's simply stupid). I conversed with the owner of the car he reviewed in the comments, and this youtuber was full of shit. In the stealth review for example, he said the engine has to come out for an exhaust gasket leak... blatant lies. Its just not fair review. If you can't see my profile picture, I actually own a 93 3000GT VR4, which is near identical to the stealth, it's the sister car. He just bashes cars with no usefulness, and he's not funnny either. Edit: I actually searched it up, the Stealth ranks 4th fastest in 1991, behind two turbo porsches and a damm F40! "RegularCars" is just a liar...

@@jonathonhebert7042 but most people are going to buy the base model and the guy talks shit about 90% of the cars he reviews, if you don’t like him don’t watch him and he reviews the car with his point of view, in the Stealth review did he say it’s the slowest car of that year?

I pissed myself with "The interior was too low rent and impoverished for the likes of me"

I'm definitely gonna start including the word "impoverished" in my daily vocabulary

"We all know the best things come in by boat; Shoes, wine...art."

But he said this Z was naturally aspirated, not twin turbo.

Of course, but my point was that if the Twin Turbo 300ZX was tested and proven quite inferior to the base L98 Corvette, it's rather obvious that the NA version of the 300ZX is not going to compare. I think the 300ZX was largely misunderstood aas a car. It's always been compared with sports car when in reality it should have been compared to cars like the Supra or other "sporty cruiser". It's not a sport cars in anyway and comparing it with those all the time is not something that can make the 300ZX shine as it would never come close to being as capable.

+traxnada Now let's keep it misunderstood so they wont skyrocket in price.

But the 31 is better

It’s simple: pop ups and D I G I T A L dash and clusters

now that I think about it the g35 coupe is more of a successor to the 2nd gen z32 then the 350z

The thing is they aren't in different classes if we're talking about the twin turbo that isn't in this review. A TT Z32 is a better car than the 350z and the gap gets even bigger once you start modding.

Only if you define "better" by how complicated and hard to maintain it is.

I have a G35 and a Z32. The G35 is built from paper compared to the Z32. 90's Nissan's were built to a different level pre-renault take over.

+ProfMyronGaines Better... well let's see. Overbuilt VG30 motors from the 90s that have been taken over 550whp time and time again on stock internals. Less weight. Better transmissions that don't have syncro issues (although one less gear, deal with it). Factory turbo system that can get you close to 400whp on stock garretts. And on top of that, looks better.

+fizzyman1224 as a proud owner of an SC300, I will readily say that being faster and having better handling than an SC300 is not much of accomplishment. 😂 Sure, it's "quick" and handles "well", but... At the end of the day the SC is pretty much an indestructible boat on wheels. And man do I love them.

They're two very different cars

+fizzyman1224 the TT 300zx is much faster than the anemic 2JZGE equipped SC300, but it wouldn't keep up with the JDM TT Soarer. It's a shame the U.S. market never got the 1JZ manual Soarer.

nice profile pic

It's innacurate.... BUT. For how most of the NA Z32 are treated and what you can actually find nowaday for the majority.... it's accurate. Nobody takes care of them. The kids drift them and breakem.... the adults breakem and lettem sit. Tis sad

The Silvia isn't a sportscar either. It's an economy car that in some formats has good power and handling. And reviewing a car based on how it could be after mods is bunk. A Prius with mods will out handle and out accelerate a 300zx TT easily.

Z32 marginally outhandled A70 supras from all the best motoring tests they did on track and real life impressions of these are not so good in my opinion. Only thing those cars are really good at is cheap midlife crisis option. Although I love to see Z32s, they are so adequately early 90's.

+DrewLSix And just how many bog-stock Z32s are out there still running on their original 1989-designed OEM factory components? I'd hardly even call new suspension components 'mods'...parts wear out you know...fine, replacement shocks and tyres are 'mods' because they're better than what the car had stock, if you want to be pissy about it, but that doesn't discount anything i said. LSix huh, you're probably a 2JZ or RB guy. I'll let you fight with everyone else about what constitutes a sportscar.

+Hagz Very few, due to the CASE (crank angle sensor) bring faulty in most 1990 production models. They actually produced a 1990.5 that corrected the issue. I loved my Z32's, but they were certainly too darn heavy. Other than that, they were lots of fun, but I prefer my S13's.

MURICA PART BIN TO THE MAX!!!! after all.

My Fiero is very similar.

If you ever lose the key, The ignition just slides out and all you need are some needle nose pliers to start it. Now if I can just find where ChirsFix lives..

It most likely was. Pretty every Vette before the C7 used interior parts straight from the bin.

Where it's behind in certain aspects of quality and refine Kent it is leagues ahead in value real world performance and reasonable maintenance and upgrade costs. The C4 in particular can be bought for very cheap and offers honest to god supercar levels of performance potential, even if it's wiggly and squeaky as it goes down the road.

the c4 is complete junk. I'm not sure you can say that universally. Certain corvettes are really capable, and some aren't. Some Nissans (GTR, skyline) are really capable, some aren't (Altima?). Pretty much the only way you can be incorrect is to make an over-encompassing comment like you have.

This is not a terribly good example of rcr, but hey, not everything can be one's a-game.

Some Body What’s your point? Race cars are not sports cars, the Z32 was not a sports car no matter how you spin it. It was a touring coupe by design.

@@DrewLSsix I imagine he's simply pointing out that rcr characterized the car and its engine as somewhat limp-wristed in the performance category, and offered up its racing success to give it some cred. While this isn't a bad idea (I think everyone can agree that audi's Quattro system wouldn't have been as big without the rally car) he would probably have done better to mention the praises of Road&Track, Car&Driver, Motorweek, and others directed at its impressive handling characteristics.
