I have the 16 NISMO in red. Even in South Florida it is flashy to some. I've gotten many compliments and many "what is that?" looks. Most people here that don't know cars well think it is some new Porsche. We have some of the most aggressive azzhat drivers. Down here, you not only have to drive defensively, you have to think before you overreact as many are packing heat in their cars. There are neighborhoods I won't even drive the z through in the daytime.

So, I found and edited the video to show an example. I will try to embed it, if it does not go through I will leave the link.

Explanation: I was going 40 in a 35 to begin with but this Ford Focus decided to make a point to catch up with me, rev his engine, then after going past was matching my speed. He did not pull away at first, I slowed down as not to oblige in an illegal street race. Then he pulled away just to slow quickly and make a left turn. My voice does not usually sound like that, I was being a smart @ss!

Around here it is either N/A 4 bangers or over compensating pickup trucks that carry on that behavior. In my town, one of the police officers told me that they "have trouble with some of the locals, street racing their crappy cars". I don't want them to ever have the impression, THAT is what do with my car.

Rather than try and quote a bunch of posts already, I'll just say the obvious.....
It happens everywhere and not just to Z's. All sport or fast rides get the "teenager to late 20 something (got something to prove) race-egger, gas punching, Folger Can exhaust rasping" boneheads trying to see if they can out run something known to be fast.


Here is a good one for the post:
Chery and I had a GTR until recently. (there is a story in itself......) Every D*$! time we took it out - Camaro's / Stang's / 4 Banger's with "bee stinger's" / Challenger's / Charger's / and Vette's wanted to run it. It's when we got stopped a few times and accused of racing that we knew - we had to give that dream up.

We are in our 40's and getting popped for street racing because of the numbnuts around us!!!???? (It comes with the territory of owning sports cars.)

Since we got the Z - we still see it - but different cars make the challenge's now.

My personal favorite's are the Acura's and Civic's that have 10" cans on them, but look like 200,000 mile cars and are at 6,000 rpm and just crawling away from stop light's. WTF!?!?!? is he/she trying to do???? LMFAO!!!!

As for our former GTR - It's one of these Civic's with 200,000 miles that took care of that disposal. He looses control, bashes the center barrier, and right back into my left side sending me to the right barrier. $100,000 gone in an instant. And his money bag parent's tried to get lawyers to pin it on us!!!! The witnesses in court stated he came from nowhere and started being stupid and only driving 6 mo's being wreckless.....

Needless to say - if my wife and I are fortunate to have had a GTR and other mid range cars at the time in our "stable".......

Yeah, in court - lil "money bags junior" and affluenza mommy & daddy were BIOT@#$!!!!

He'll be 21 before he drives again!!!

As stated by JC above, I don't get hassled at all and for the most part get compliments and thumbs up about the car.

I will admit, it is actually mixed, Compliments and Dbags. Not saying it is a curse owning this car and is all negative, of course not!

By the way, for those that have never heard of it before, I took this from the Urban Dictionary(did not want to offend anyone...):

RICE - Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements

"(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group or color, however different ethnic groups are known for certain styles."

I picked my '16 Nismo about 3 months ago. I bought the car because I loved it, but I didn't think anyone really cared about it. I mean, no one talks about it on the net (besides on this forum ), I never see "sightings" pics, you don't see a lot of them on the road (it's not THAT expensive of a sporty car, and well within the means of many people), etc.

I couldn't believe how much attention this car garners. Before the Nismo, I had a 2007 dark blue Miata GT with the power folding hard top, on white wheels, supercharged and loud as hell... That car got quite a lot of attention.

And then I got the Nismo. Holy hell, this car, in completely stock form, garners 20 times more attention, from anyone and everyone. I can't believe how many people openly stare, how often people roll down their windows to ask about the car, people snapping photos, people trying to catch up to me while driving to see the car, etc.

I like keeping my cars as OEM looking as possible, save for, maybe some nicer wheels. I don't even like tint (cops are brutal for tint here). I'm now strongly considering getting tinted windows because I feel I'm always being watched, lol.

I haven't had bad interactions though. Always positive. Well, one kind of bad one, but the guy was trying to get me to race his older 335i sedan, with 4 people in it, lol. But other than that, everyone is nice. Maybe it's a Canada vs US thing? I don't feel Canadians are nicer. It's just a made up stereotype. But I never anticipated anyone even paying much attention to this car, maybe save for the occasional Nissan enthusiast. It blows my mind.
