Bone stock, no...sorry dont think so....throw a TRUE STOCK 370Z exahust and detune the nismo ECU to a TRUE STOCK 370Z tune, slap em both on a dynojet and i can promise you they will be both within 5rwhp +/- there is NOTHING special about your engine from ours. Theres is absolute no "hating" as you want to put it either, its more like: please snap out of your dream, and join the rest of us in reality, your car was not made from baby jesus DNA.
LOL dude, I'm not going to get into arguments with you nor am I pretenting to be self righteous. You just made the point I was trying to bring to spearfish about justifying the higher pricing on the nismo, oh yea if your argument is about detuning the nismo and putting the stock 370z exhaust on a nismo (Why the heck would anyone want to do it?) as a proof that the nismo is no good, I don't know what to say You got your taste, I got mine, you love your car, I love mine period. What does baby Jesus/dream have to do with this, I've got no idea.

only and exclusivley to prove that the nismo Z is just like any other 370Z when it comes to engine and power. The Nismo is sold modified and tuned therefore it dynos more "stock" than regular 370Z, but in fact its not stock. Am glad you love your nismo, hey i love it too, I also love my 370Z....there just this specific arrogance thats been going on with nismo owner thinking non nismo owners are jeleous, LMAO thats just not the case...thats where all the unicorn blood/baby jesus DNA jokes come from

Yea i know... but people keep complaining that it isn't worth the extra 5k we pay over a base+sport.

I mean if it wasn't worth it then why buy a 370z and not a miata and just modify that? Or just buy a miata shell and drop an LSx in it? End price may be almost just as much as a base 370z and you get much more power and a better power to weight ratio than most cars in the streets.

All the nismo owners bought the nismo because it was worth it. None of us care for the minor power bump that came with it. I mean sure it's nice to have all the little extras but 99% of us bought the nismo for it's looks, not the power.

I totally agree, its worth the extra money for just the Body kit period. The suspension tweaks, rims tune are just extra perks on top. I hate my fangs, ill be the first to say they are pretty hideous. When i had my 350, one of the best front bumpers ever was the Nismo V2, so sexy...hopefully they will come out with something like this in the future, or ill just wait for another company

agreed. this is the only reason why i bought the nismo to be honest. nismo vs base/sport was only a few more g's when i was dealing with the sales guy. figured id save myself the headache and spend a bit more for a body kit.

oh and the reaction i get from people on the roads are priceless. i had some below 12yr old girl roll down her dads car window and tell me she loves my car. i waved and said thanks. then today i had a little body in a mercedes suv next to me roll down his window and say "ohhh its so awesome!"

i know im just driving a nissan for christs sake, but the fact that no one knows what a nismo is, is pure awesomeness!
