Nismo's new Z Coupe dials up the standard car's aggression with better performance and handling, but should you spend $100,000 on a Nissan?

2025 Ford Mustang GT Fastback review
The new Ford Mustang GT still packs a howling V8 and can still be had with a manual, though its high-tech interior no longer feels retro.
