How are car model releases determined by their manufacturer? For Topic Tuesday, Matt in CA asks if Nissan made a mistake by releasing the base model Z first instead of the NISMO. Then, Will in Chicago has a Corvette dilemma, and wants a manual transmission. Social media questions ask if brake feel or brake performance is more important for spirited driving, does Toyota’s long-running partnership with Tesla still seem smart, and what’s one driving skill the guys want to improve?
