I recently purchased a nismo 370 and it is a great automobile. I enjoy the fact that I can purchase a factory automobile that is equiped with the standards that this car has. I wanted a nice sports car that has nice looks and a good gas tank for trips to the coast with my gal or my son. Besides the nismo the only reason I bought this car is because my best friend had a 78 model Z that we chilled in back in the day, and I will probably give this one to him as tax write off later down the road. If you dont like and support our section than keep your narrow minded opinions to yourself. The nismo group really has no interest or care that you can modify your car to out perform ours. For some reason in my community this never comes up. We just enjoys the Z's. Have a nice day!!

It is strange phenomenon indeed. People post something about a NISMO and some that dont have one come in and post useless non-contributing content like small packs of rabid post killers. At first I wanted to say that they are mindless goons that really dont contribute but then I look at a few of their posts and some are actually contributing and helping others in different parts of the forum. I cant figure out. I have seen nothing here from NISMO owners stating that their cars are better, they are better or anything along those lines. It would make a great psychology case study. Maybe I will call it nismaniadepressive...

Anyway... to ALL of you 370s owners (yes even you roadsters) I love your cars. We can sit next to a fire, roast marshmallows and sing kumbaya if you like to prove that we are all Z folk.

I dunno about the singing part but a huge Bon fire would be great fun!!
In all honesty though I think it stems from the fact people can hide behind the internet. Most people wouldn't say crap about a NISMO in person but then when they get home and hop on the net, it's no holds barred. I personally would have loved to get a NISMO but unfortunately I couldn't swing a deal I liked.

Nismo's are great. I think they look sick.

I think a lot of the recent drama came from the baseline dyno thread that got moved here, after being in general discussion

people want to feel good about what they purchased, and justify the fact they did good by not spending the extra money on the nismo.

leather and nav.... hahahahah these things seem to be the holy grail to some people in here. f$%# leather and get a smart phone, case closed.

even my corvette driving red neck brother thinks the nismo looks amazing and he hates imports.

and lastly, ive never heard one anyone "in person" say its rice.......

Agreed. There seems to be alot of insecurity on their end, they would be better served to spend that time behind the wheel instead of posting usless comments that take up space and rip on other owners. Pretty lame really.

I love the comments I get on the nismo, had a 60 year old guy in a cherry 58 el camino say some pretty great things about the car while I was at a light. I love getting compliments from the older car guys.

I like the NISMO this coming from a sport/touring guy but for me I wanted a different look. The cars are almost identical except for a few items, so I do not understand the argument. It is almost like arguing between the base and the touring models. The simple fact is buy whatever you like and make it your own. I decided that I like the leather and the navigation but I wanted a different rear and side so I went out and purchase the amuse. I equate that to the NISMO owners didnt like the body style of the base so they opted for the body of the NISMO, so what is the argument here they are basically the same car and with all the modifications that people do who cares. No two cars are ever the same so why compare them. If you guys feel you are being hated on take it with pride because someone thinks you have something better. I say we are all part of the Z family so lets take that hatered and focus it on something oh I dont know say a Bugatti????

I don't care if you drive a Z or a 34 Ford, if the car puts you in your happy spot then its doing everything its supposed too and nothing else matters.

I've yet to see the hate here or maybe I'm just naive? I don't approve of that type of behavior here, and if there is people like that? Please let us know? We are all one Car enthusiast family, and should act like it. This Forum isn't like other flame fest forums, We intent to keep it that way with everyones cooperation.
Have great day everyone

" 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.
