The 2022 Chevrolet C8 Corvette's mid-engine layout and performance make it a sharper sports car than the 2023 Nissan Z, but the Z delivers a more casual vintage experience.
The 2023 Nissan Z isn't a bad sports car, but the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro beats it in engine options, price, performance, value for money, and convertible availability.
The 2023 Nissan Z beats the 2022 Chevrolet Camaro in interior space and visibility, cargo accessibility, standard ADAS features, and potential tech upgrades. And it's more fuel-efficient than the SS.

The 2023 Nissan Z isn't quite as fast as the 2022 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 in a straight line, but that's likely because of the Z's less-grippy stock tires.
Noise testing regulations mean the manual 2023 Nissan Z will be quieter than the automatic car from the factory. But Nismo and the aftermarket might have some solutions.
