I'm of course being silly, hence the fake engine comment. Fuck the Mach-E btw.
If I'm going to be E-curious, the GT Kia EV6 looks kinda interesting, but last i knew you had to park their EV's outside due to fires.
World just needs more supercharged options.
No longer on my list but FB pushed it, local Nissan dealer trying to get 75k for a fucking Z lol.

Almost everyone can use the Tesla network now, anyone that adopted their charger standard - was kinda the deal. You need an adapter but you gain access to tons - I expect many sad mad Tesla bros soon.
the Mach-e is fine it would be a million times better if ford was not stupid. Mine is a standard rwd premium - you can tell they throttled it, my Leaf kicked more off the line… the leaf was also tiny heh.
if the Mach-e was about 4 inches wider and 2 or so taller with wider wheels- it would be great. The darn thing has skinny wimpy wheels- the id.4 has more manly looking wheels
dunno about the Kia, co worker has the Hyundai ionic and likes it- no idea about spontaneous combustion - work parking lot has - model S and Y, id.4. Mach-e, and the jag EV
if Rivian drops the r1t price again, I would get one in a heartbeat bye bye Mach-eieio

Isn’t it just Ford and Rivian that have access to Tesla chargers so far?

Those have been official and announced it - I think everyone but Chrysler has said they will adopt it.
Don’t know about lucid and fikser but they are both not doing so well apparently

For starters, it’s the 370Z body with revisions. It’s not “new” like folks think. It isn’t made all that well. It doesn’t go, stop, or handle as well as it competitors and it’s not cheaper to make up for it. It was a “me too” effort that fell flat from a company that’s been struggling for decades.
Shame honestly because from the 70s to the 00s Nissan was great.

Nissan did a GM like the Saturn Vue and Pontiac Solstice - sport retro-ish classic 2 seater looks and style... normal car performance... and that is fine, for example GM as that was /their intention/ but Nissan just played it safe with the new Z's insides and it performs basically the sameish as the past Z...so, looks only generation upgrade basically.
I like the look of the new Z, its going backward in its style cues rather than forward like the Z it replaced - so as with almost everything Nissan, its polarizing, you love it or hate it - not much midground.

Renting a C8 next month for my dad I'll try. Goes back to that conversation earlier I think I prefer super>turbo>na.
I know a c7 could be a great value, and I don't hate them, but personal idea of good looks comes in is why I like a c8. I do like with my driving more of a Grand tourer than a completely sharp track car

Base model C7/C6 (and maybe the C6 Grand Sport) ride closer to regular sports cars, not just a track car, but with the complete redesign, I'm not sure how the C8 rides.
I would assume they would still keep their user base in mind, which, for at least the last 30 years was the base model for people who want to be able to comfortably daily drive a fast sports car and Z06/ZR1 for people who are prepared to pay for the performance at the cost of not just money, but driving comfort in city traffic.
If the looks are the major draw for the higher packages, both the C6 and C7 have high quality conversion kits that can make them look like a Z06/ZR1 and as long as someone doesn't put the higher package badges on it, it's not looked down upon to do those conversions. Generally a base model + conversion kit is cheaper than a Z06.

Vettes with Magna-ride is better than a Cadillac/Mercedes for ride comfort

This is turning into a pet project, lol
personally, I went with one high-revving NA sports cars, one brute in the form of a heads, cam, tune, C6Z06 (both manuals) and twin turbo V8 daily for comfort and speed. Torque is definitely fun, but different flavors is nice for different moods. Next will be either a 992 Turbo S with mods (720 wheel) or a race car; gen 6 ZL1 with twin turbo kit and supporting mods making roughly 900-1100 wheel depending on familiarity over time.
If you get a chance, just try lots of things and you may click with something you didn’t realize you would.
