Is the 2013 still a sparrow? It's got a new beak and a new suspension from Europe.

Some people say the Nismo is overpriced. You get a set of 1k+ tires, the new rims, the suspension, the body kit + wing, and the seats/interior for under 10 grand. Maybe I'm just nieve in thinking that it wasn't a bad deal if I plan on keeping those things on the car.

Back the the attention thing. In WI almost no one owns a sports car, so I get a lot of looks :) Half are jelly, half are looking at me like I'm a tool for driving a sports car in WI.

Also I was jelly of the car for the longest time, and I did know how much it cost. I grew up in utter poverty. Went to army to go to school to get my current job, all on my own dime. So for me the car means a lot to me personally as a symbol of where I am in life. It might not be a lot to some people, but it is to me. That might make people judge me, but so be it, it is what it is. I'm proud of it.
:usa: :tup:

In my condo garage space sits my 2010 Magnetic Black Nismo....a few spaces away sits a black 2012 Cayman S with black wheels and black badges, must be some kind of package..I have no idea. Guess which one gets more compliments from people that live in my building? My Nismo....

Did anyone here buy the Nismo for the 18 HP. I'm pretty sure I didn't.

I guess the tires, rims, suspension, body kit and wing cost Nissan nothing, and are utterly worthless. I'm going to go kill myself now because I made such a terrible decision.

Tires are not much diffrent then the sport, RIMS look pretty much the same as the sport, and you can buy BETTER suspension and a BETTER body kit for LESS than the Nismo cost difference over the sport (and it COSTS WAY MORE than the base)..........

Congrats on buying a slower car with a body kit for MORE MONEY.......


P.S. those carbon fiber tire valve tips would look GREAT on your NISMO........

According to a fellow Auto-X'er this past weekend I should have gotten a Nismo instead of my Sport Touring. :shakes head:

I found the comment amusing but kept it cordial and replied with an okay.

There's nothing wrong with having a Nismo, sport, or base as its basically the same car with different options.

I did a canyon run a friend who owns a white NISMO last Sat.
I think it looks absolutely AWESOME! :yum:

I ended up buying his NISMO seats and they feel better than my 40th red leather seats. :ughdance:

What specifically did he say a NISMO would give you that your Sport Touring wouldn't? It seems the extra horsepower just allows a NISMO to have larger tires, more weight and more downforce without losing speed to a base Z. I would think that none of that would make much difference in autocross.

IMWEZL 02-27-2012 06:59 PM
Maybe the kid was just making conversation. I'm running RE11s sized 305/30 out back and 275s up front along with a Stillen CBE.

I'm thinking he might have meant that the Nismo looks better with the different wheels and body kit.

Ya' know I usually hate white cars, but I have to say that a Z totally redeems the "color". I bought a NISMO because of 1) its looks 2) because it is Japanese and 3) it is a lot of fun to drive.

You know what I'm just going to let it go. We can be the better men and get this thread back on track. I got some serious looks from the ladies at work today when some of my team went to lunch.

Bought my NISMO because I fell in love at first sight. Couldn't give a crap what anyone else thinks about it. My $ and I love it. Yes it gets attention & then comes the "is this YOUR car?".
