2011 Nismo#91 · 03-14-2011, 04:30 PM

I like my NISMO regardless of what people may say about here looks or added pounds.

"You know how you always read car reviews that say stuff like, "Even though [whatever] can hoof it around the Nürburgring in less time that it takes you to blink, it's equally happy just limping around town in second gear?" Well the Nismo is totally unhappy to limp around town in second gear. In fact, it's miserable and it lets you know just how displeased it is via the aforementioned grunts, groans and clanks. They're like a warning chime, "Please sir, you're not flogging me hard enough.""

And that's why I love her.

If you look at the msrp for Nismo vs. loaded 370z, the base is MORE expensive. By the time you add in the better flowing exhaust, body kit to cover that bucktoothed grin, and a proper set of custom rims that are probably heavier, you just blew the Nismo base price out of the water. Yes, 70hp more would have been nice, but in reality, how often would we get to use it?? Plus we should all be thankful that we got an excellent sports car for cheap!!! Anybody remember the price for a new TT 300zx (60k if you forgot)?? That's why the Z was cancelled in the US in the '90s.

Well, I had a 2011 PW Touring/Sports/NAV etc on order and it was cancelled last Friday. My dealer was prepared to give back my deposit but asked if I would want him to locate another Z, he found the MB NISMO I drive today and I have no regrets at all. It's AWESOME having a car in my area that NO ONE ELSE has! Everywhere I go it turns heads!

heres how its been with my nismo. someone sees i for the first time and says

friend- "damn! what is this?"

me- "370Z nismo edition"

friend- "wow, it looks amazing!, did it come with those wheels and body or did you add them."

me- "no it came with all this" (then i pull out the smart phone and show them a touring model)

me- "heres a regular Z"

friend- "ohhh, wow that looks much different. and boring! why does it have a catfish face and horrible offset on the wheels?"

me- "it just does, its still a Z though"

friend- "ehh, i guess."

$100 says anyone who shows off their touring Z doesnt whip out a picture of a nismo.

this post wasnt made to hate on the touring model, just telling ya how it is.

This pretty much sums it up right here lol. Also, most people on this forum that don't have the nismo model just assume we paid the sticker price for it, when in fact that is rarely the case. I got my nismo brand new out the door for less than most people paid for the sports model.

Bodytechz · 03-31-2011, 02:16 PM

I have no doubt that I would have been happy with my Touring/Sports if my order wouldn't have been cancelled, but WOW, my NISMO is so fun to drive and looks fricking HOTTT!!! I'm proud to pull up next to ANY other car and be content with what I'm driving. Absolutely NO regrets!

Bodytechz · 04-01-2011, 08:51 PM

Well, I had Z Touring/Sports/NAV and all the bells and whistles on order, it was cancelled and I ended up with a Nismo, no regrets, not 1. I LOVE IT.

Rui Z · 04-01-2011, 09:59 PM

I love the white Nismo. Anyone want to trade for a 40th?

roplusbee · 04-02-2011, 07:25 PM

You know I got kinda hyped up when I read GZ3's posts in regard to the Base Sport / NISMO. I was going to write a response until I saw his last post and then decided not to. I just want to know what you guys think stock means? Also, if that is the case identify YOUR meaning up front so that there is no confusion. It seems that whole debate stems from packages or options offered from the factory.

I bought a NISMO because I like the way it was setup from the factory. My origional intent was to buy a Base Sport and buy all sort of stuff for it. Fortunately for me, a good majority of the things that I wanted to change were things already addressed the with the NISMO edition. Truthfully, the only reason I got a CBE is because I wanted it to sound as good as it looked. But whaterver dudes.....................
