Comparison Test: 2023 Nissan Z Performance vs. 2022 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium:
In testing, the six-speed-manual Z reaches 60 mph in a respectable 4.5 seconds. The Supra and its eight-speed automatic get there in 3.7 seconds. The gap stays consistent at the end of the quarter-mile, where the Z arrives after 13.0 seconds at 111 mph, compared to the Supra's 12.2-second run at 114 mph. Both vehicles benefit from launch control, though the Supra's manages wheelspin better.
Braking also favors the Supra, which comes to a stop from 70 mph in 147 feet. The Z needs 166 feet. Circling the skidpad, the Supra pulls 1.00 g on its Michelin Pilot Sports while the Z manages 0.93 g on Bridgestone Potenza S007s. Replacing those Bridgestones would certainly improve the Z's performance, and considering the Nissan costs $3650 less than the Supra, perhaps that would take the sting out of paying for a new set of tires. Round one goes to the Supra.
On the same roads, the Z doesn't instill the same kind of confidence as the Supra. A lot of this can be attributed to the less capable tires that howl wildly when cornering. This is especially true on steep downhill sections where the front contact patches surrender their tenuous grip. At least the tire noise telegraphs that the Z will ignore your next request by running wide through the turn.Don't think that the Z is ready to throw in the towel, though.
Both the Supra and Z suspensions are tuned for performance, but neither is punishing in its stiffness. The Supra benefits from adaptive dampers, allowing it to be a bit more compliant on one end and firmer on the other. As far as seat comfort goes, both offer an appropriate amount of cushioning, but not so much as to over-isolate your butt from the road. The Supra does provide more lumbar support and power adjustments, though.
The Supra continues to land punches when it comes to the interior, with a more modern cabin courtesy of BMW. Much of the Z's dash has been reworked to accommodate a larger infotainment touchscreen, digital instrument panel, and new steering wheel, but there are plenty of disappointing carryover elements throughout. The center console is almost the same as it was a decade ago, with an overabundance of hard, flimsy plastic and large antiquated buttons pulled from a parts bin.
