Or you can just push the full defeat switch behind the brake pedal if its setup like the Q50/60 or pull the ABS Fuse, but based on the reviews at least it sounds like Nissan has the stability control pretty well calibrated.

Suprisingly fun track car. Fox body mustangs. Take a bit of cash to get them feeling planted, but they are lightweight and take to power well with a few suspension mods.
Another fun RWD sports car is a Saab 900 turbo.  They are CHEAP and can be made really fun really cheaply.

If you’re the track rat you claim to be (and you sound like a privileged one), learn to brake without ABS. Just unplug the fuse. Don’t make excuses—many of the 80s and 90s JDMs you love so much don’t have ABS. While you’re at it, learn to left foot threshold brake. Read more

We’re way past the the numbers hype that dominated headlines and sales of years past. Gimme feeling over that any day of the week. And the Supra isn’t really a Supra. It’s a BMW.  Read more

I think plenty of experience in real life with other vehicles would give someone the same sense of physics and know to be gentle and smooth. You know not to jerk the wheel on the highway or drop the clutch on a stick, and not to go full throttle in most boats until you’re on plane. Read more

The blue interior looks SO good in person. It’s a lot like the blue they offered on the C7 Corvette for a minute.

I think it’s the case where the limits go way up, but it’ll still cut in if it senses you spinning or frantically sawing the wheel. I wasn’t doing qualifying pace on my lead-follow laps, but I never noticed the digital hand reaching in. I’m asking Nissan for some clarification on how stability control works, stay… Read more

Supra’s still faster at the quarter mile, same with the Mustang Mach 1 (which is also in the same price range), though apparently, it’s down to the less grippy Bridgestone rubber the Z has instead of the Michelin’s on the Supra and Mach 1.

No, it is fake stuff. It is really just reconstituted typo juice.

I have never seen the fixation with “westies” and this one needs way to much work and cost to get it even half way usable.  I’d give them $600 bucks for that.
