Semtex's Monterey Blue 370Z

The only thing that might make it worth it, IMHO, is the added stiffness from the special weld process. That is not something those of us with the non-Nismo models

Ahh, but, only one problem - according to the review, they didn't do any welding on this chassis - just mucked with the suspension.

Quote:
Though the body of the 2007 Nissan Nismo 350Z was seam-welded like that of a racing car, the 370's only additional structural enhancement is a different front strut-tower brace. "This car's stock body is stiff enough to meet the additional demands placed on it by the Nismo hardware," says Nathaniel Mason, senior manager of product planning in Nissan's Specialty Vehicles division.
