Zs at the Gap 2027

Hey guys! I’m starting an annual Nissan Z event at the Tail of the Dragon beginning next year. October 1-3, 2027! I already host an annual MR2s on the Dragon event that’s reached 100+ cars now and has been a huge success over the last 3 years. I’m working alongside two friends of mine to organize this.

This event should feature a vendor row, group drives, a little fire pit, and lots of good memories! Come hang out. The event Facebook page is called “Zs at the Gap Community”. Will have all information regarding the event shared in there. Feel free to join and share your ride if you’re planning on coming out. Don’t even have to be in a Z to come join the fun; the fun is open to anyone!

Cheers, hope to see plenty of yall there!

Is the Nissan Z really as bad as people are touting?

I’ve been looking to trade in my 2021 wrx for a sportier car and now I’m making more money. I’m not worried about daily driving since I have a company vehicle I drive everyday. The Nissan Z really caught my eye and the used prices for it seem like an absolute steal but I’ve heard that this car really doesn’t perform that well and it handles like a log. I would like to get some opinions from you the very people that own and drive them, will it be a major leap going from my wrx to the Z?

Daily the Z with no manually experience

Alright. I want a Z…

I’m planning on getting a manual. The only problem is I don’t know how to drive manual yet and my commute is very traffic heavy. What are your thoughts on getting one? Is it a good car to learn manual on?

Automatic or Manual?

I'm leaning towards automatic, but sometimes feel like I'll regret not getting manual.

I have been driving a manual car for the past few years and after a long work day on my feet I absolutely hate shifting because my feet hurt like hell (I also have weak ankles). This is the main reason for wanting an automatic. But a manual would probably be more fun and would make it less likely to be stolen when i'm out and about around town. I may mod it eventually, but won't be anything crazy. I don't plan on tracking it.

Any automatic people here? Do you regret it?

Dream two car solution?

I have my 2026 Nissan Z performance and live in Ontario, so the daily I just picked up is a 2012 fit, one owner, 122,000kms but cosmetically is a bit rough but that’s the point!

Best possible two car solution? 🤔
