New 2012 GM NISMO #294

DLo · 07-05-2012, 01:07 AM

It is with great pleasure that I announce my purchase of a 2012 GM NISMO #294 today from OC Nissan in Garden Grove (CA). I am very impressed with the fit, finish and performance thus far. My previous vehicle was a 2008 Evo X MR, which has the SST (Twin Clutch; so I am rekindling my manual transmission skills. Can't wait to see you guys at the tracks in SoCal.

Both are very capable and drastically different cars. I have a new appreciation for those who track/race manual rear wheel drive cars. I was spoiled with the SST (dual clutch transmission) and all wheel drive.

As for a comparison, the Z feels more responsive to throttle inputs and powerful. The Z's fit and finish is far superior to the Evo (you can tell Mitsu spent the $$ on the drive train). IMHO, the Z looks 100% better than an Evo as well. I have been slightly surprised with how planted the Z feels. I can't wait to get it out on track and feel comfortable driving it fast!

With all that said, my next car will be a GTR! Judging by your avatar you know why.
