I think the Z with a proper setup is still going to be a hell of a car.

The front end of the Mustang appears to dip between gear changes at the 1min, 14 sec mark, looks similar to a manual car for a brief second or so. Likely just uneven track surface.

I'm really curious to see what the full reviews of this car are going to be like. Seems like the reviewers like it so far but are split as to whether they like it more than the Supra or not.

I probably won't get a Z because nothing compares to the sound of a V8, but if that wasn't a concern to me, I'd consider getting it.

I was hoping for a $45k performance pack 400Z price point, $51k is just so close to the Supra.

Also, if you tuned all 3 of these it would be a completely different race as FI has such an advantage in this area.

I love the Z and it was in a big need of a styling update BUT man, it sounds like a Dyson Hair Dryer, kills the excitement. v8 Power FTW!

It'll likely sound great with a Borla exhaust or something similar. But I don't think it's going to sound better than the Supra and especially not better than the Mach 1. I'm usually a pretty restrained driver but that Coyote sound tempts me to do stupid, stupid things lol

You guys are lucky with the unlocked ecu. I just had to pay 3800$ to get my Supra unlocked.. I imagine the Z will be locked for a while with a high price tag

Yes, if you tuned a Whipple on the Mach it would be a completely different race /s

All three of these cars are awesome, honestly I ended up with the Mach because I truly need the rear seats for my kids. I'm glad there are so many good options for ~$50k out there right now (and the ecobeast and GR86 for ~$30k)

It’s recent. But no that cost does not include a TCU, that’s another 1,000 😂

They could at least get the horsepower right on the Mach 1.

I'll have to watch again, however, I will say that when my tires have slipped some it has bouced at the end of the band for a moment before shifting and basically getting a late shift because of it. Happened to me once going from 2-3

highly entertaining as usual. But when you KNOW the press car doesn't have the same grade of tire as the ones you're racing against, does NOBODY have a freaking credit card to put the same tires on the wheels?
