Took delivery!

Just checking - my Black Cherry Roadster is now gone and replaced by a Black 2011 Nismo (I actually took delivery on January 4th).

I haven't had a chance to put very many miles on it yet as the weather hasn't cooperated but at least I have it!

Congrats on the new wheels.

How do you like it compared to the roadster?

A very different vehicle, really, and difficult to really compare beyond the very obvious difference of a top - there is nothing quite like the feeling of being connected to the driving experience when you are in a roadster with the top down.

Beyond that, the Nismo feels faster (how much is pure conjecture at this point)...I appreciate the no-nonsense lack of amenities that are nice but unnecessary. That said, I do miss not having the option of getting the top entertainment system that is available in the the other models bur not available in the Nismo.

All in all, I love the performance and the "look" and since this is not my only vehicle, the "missing" luxury is a minor issue overall.

Shittalkers = jealous people.

LOL

To the OP, one of the biggest grips people have with the nismo is its lack of amenities and this usually comes from people that use their Z as a daily driver. For those of us that don't use it as a daily driver and don't need the "extras" in our sports car, it works out pretty good. IMO the Nismo is more about being driven then all the bottons and toys.

For those of you who do not know.
Robert has had the chance to drive all 3 versions of the 370z now. Roadster, Sport/touring and now the Nismo. Looking forward to what input you on Robert.

I understand why the Nismo doesn't come stock with many of the amenities but I do wish the made some of those toys available as an option for those who might want them anyway!

Robert, how often are you able to pick out a new Nissan?

Every year...I don't have the option of keeping them longer than that.
