I like how all the Porsches spun out yet lowly Escorts nailed that off camber corner. Even the shitbix Corvette managed it.

Yeah, to nail a corner it takes more than hp. The old saying still holds true, straights are for fast cars, corners for fast drivers.

I’d suggest doing math re number of miles to break even vs the truck

but then you’d all rag on me as if I’m suggesting not go karting or something radical like that

My old truck did WAY worse than this, but it's still pretty bad. It's about $400 a month in gas. I'm not looking to "break even", I'm looking for viable options.

Truck = $400/month in gas
Z = $200/month payment, $80/month insurance, $200/month in gas

So +$80/month for 6 speed fun.

And let's not forget my commute. Rocky Point isn't fun in the truck.

In hell. Welcome!
It's got 47k miles on it. I could get at least 100k out of it and I only need it to last a year before I'm back to remote work. And I'd look to pay more like $9k.
Maybe Nissan is a different situation, but the biggest challenge with my 21yo VW with low mileage is that all the plastic and rubber parts - hoses, pipes, wires, interior parts, buttons - go to shit regardless of the mileage.

My Vette developed a random security fault that I never solved and nobody seemed to know about.

I've been bugging my buddy who had 2 different 350z's before he bought his GT-R. Reliability is actually pretty good on these it seems, but I know what you mean about the degradation.
