The Pony cars always had a great value-for-money proposition, but they're not everyone's cup of tea. Looks like Nissan did good by the Z, and more options are certainly better. Also, did the Z offering a manual spur Toyota to offer one for the Supra? Or was it planned years in advance?

The Performance model adds larger brakes (if you recall, brakes were always a problem on the 370Z) as well as larger wheels (I'm guessing larger wheels were needed to clear the larger brakes). Additionally, the base model comes on a square tire set up 245/245. The Performance is staggered 255/275; which leads me to believe the wheels are probably wider in the rear as well.
