" Wasn't sure if he meant it in a good way or was an import hater " Chicks dig it. I had a few guys at starbucks make some dumb comments " hey is that the new 370Z I heard they go 200mph" another said he raced one and beat it in his F150. I asked him are you sure he was racing you. He said he floored it when the light turned green and the Z was behind him. Z was probably just driving normally. But in his mind cuz he was ahead of him at the light, he won. Surely ppl can't confuse a Nismo with a GTR. I also had a stranger ask if this was my car, I said yes, he then told me he hated me, this was a complete stranger. As for insurance my nismo is way less than my challenger was.

Its comments like this ^ annoy me. You make it sound like we're all driving honda civic's and you're driving a 911 turbo. And as far as why non nismo owners post in this section? it comes up in 'new posts' i don't think any of us nonworthy base/sport/touring owners come into this section to start bs drama about nismos. i see a thread about something that catches my eye, and i look at it, and sometimes i post.

We drive nismos. We're all that.

I love my Nismo, nice bodykit and good interior. My only complate is to Nissan. If they are going to make a sport/race model of an already amazing sports car put the turbos back in production, like the 300zx. I know I would be willing to pay more. But I just have to put them in myself this summer when I get some time away from work!

Putting twins in the Z is so easy, sadly I had to take mine out.

It's comments like this that says I'm a Nimso hater. Wasn't this comment of mine from a different thread. The guy asked about different experiences he's had with his nismo and read the rest of the thread. The haters sure enough jumped in to say their usual BS. You can read the whole thread. I made note and then commented on what the guy wanted to hear. Experiences with the Nismo. I don't know why people here are so anti Nismo saying it's nothing special it's a waste not worth it etc. No one says a 40th is not worth the money. It's a different trim level that just looks badass. In pictures I wasn't too impressed but when I saw it in person, the rest is history. How did that make it sound like We drive 911s and the rest drive honda civics? I think that's what you got out of it because of your pre disposition. The 370Z is a sweet car. Nissan did good. The next will be even better. 400Z???

i thought this thread was closed. I don't hate nismos. Why would i hate a trim level on a car that i have? Why does everything have to be about 'hate'. When a 5 year old's mom disciplines him he says 'i hate you.' If you think i hate the trim level on your car enough to hate it, you have issues, kind of like how the pretty girl in school thinks everyone hates her because they are jealous, even though she isn't really that hot.

If someone came up to me running their mouth about how collectible the 40th is and my car isn't worth sh1t i'd say something too. You say us 'regular' Z owners aren't used to 'envy.' Get it through your head, No one is ENVYing us for our 30k sports cars. Jesus how superficial can you be. Most people with a car of some sort could AFFORD a Z. Anyone with an altima or maxima probably could have managed paying for the car but it simply didn't work for them.

Once again, i didn't come into this section to start crap about your car. It came up in my 'new posts' and you are claiming i 'hate the nismo and i'm simply clarifying my point of view

honestly, if this section is about loving the nismo, have a good time start some threads about all the encounters you have with people who can't stop fapping to the wing on your car and quit dragging this argument on and on.

Anyway, just noticed your sig. I love that episode. All of the stupid dinosaurs.

Somewhat back on topic...
I had some crazy guy in a Ford Explorer chase me down yesterday. I turned a corner and he was behind me. He turned after ~30secs and came up flying on my left. After pacing me a few secs he gave me a thumbs up. Its a little unsettling at times. Just weird.

I am sure this happens to all 370 owners. They are all great looking cars.

Nismoracer · 02-01-2011, 11:03 AM

Why would you hate a trim level on a car.... Oh it's a different trim level now, maybe that's it so you can understand better now. Relating this to a 5 yr olds temper tantrum??? Really. And thinking people hate you??? Man it's like talking to a brick wall. Look at every nismo thread no matter what the topic and there's always someone who has to add their negative feedback on the Nismo. And envy,. yeah people look at my Nismo and say hey that's badass. And they do like it and ENVY it, they wish they had one. And according to you and the rest of the haters our Nismos wasn't $30k its $40k ten grand more for a "body kit." You may not hate the car but you certainly show a bias towards people who bought them. I don't see a single thread or comment that Nismo owners started saying how better the Nismo is vs a base just defending comments against the onslaught of haters. Nismo owners talking about their experiences and wanting to share what others they have come across think. And you can't deny it. It's written in black and white. And you're right I do have an issue and that issue is people like you.

Seriously bro, calm down. Not everyone here drives a base Z. Every touring/sport, touring/sport/nav, and 40th anniv, cost just as much if not more than your nismo.

The nismo is a trim level of the 370z. Just like the 335 is a trim level of the 3 series, i'm not sure exactly why that bothers you. There's plenty of awesome Z's on this forum, each with its own personal touch. The guy's with roadsters don't get all butthurt when a guy with a coupe says 'oh i would rather have a hard top, or 'having a roadster wasn't worth the extra money to me.' You don't hear guys with touring packages crying when someone with a base says 'yea the leather wasn't worth it, kind of a waste of money IMO.' But alas, here you are, whining and whining about what some other people think about the TRIM LEVEL on your car. and yes, groups of options and packages on a car are typically called the 'trim level' on a car.

and before you get all obsessed with how much your car cost, a lot of people payed mid to low 30's for a nismo so if you paid over 40k, and want to feel like that makes you special then more power to you.

and as far as the envy thing is concerned, you really need to get over yourself. You shouldn't envy someone for their car or stupid material posessions, however, i could maybe understand having some envy for someone with a rare exotic car, or something you couldn't ever afford in your wildest dreams, but a nismo 370z? no one out there has ENVY for a 370z, and if you think the difference between a nismo 370z and a base/sport/touring/40th etc is enough to make someone ENVY you, then

you're just self absorbed

and like i said. i have no problem with nismos or any other 370z. I honestly love how the nismo looks and i think its an awesome car along with all the other Z's in their own way. what i do have a problem with is people like you running their mouths about people envying you for your car because its a nismo.

Maybe it's not on purpose, but you come across just like the guy in the ferrari in Fast and the Furious.

Two things I wanted in my car the nismo didn't offer so I never even considered it. I know I can always buy the body kit.

Nismoracer · 02-01-2011, 01:30 AM

You know you can " always buy the body kit " You can probably also buy the 2 things the Nismo didn't offer that you wanted. It never ends......... Don't know what these people's problems are. You're right torpedo it would make for an interesting study. I've had enough. It's on going and relentless hatred not only towards a model of a car but for the people who have them. It seems the Nismo owners here are constantly having to defend their purchase and even though we do and have, it's like talking to a brick wall. Thanks to all who have shared info, oil changes, shipping spacers, intakes, exhausts. Great info. Drive safe.
