too much. from all the wrong places. I had this guy box me in behind another car and a semi. the semi slowed down so I took off to get away,(can't stand being behind or around other cars and semis, especially when they're right up on my ***...deployment stuff) this guy wouldn't let up. so I took off and got away from the rest of traffic, slowed down and kept on minding my own business, couple of miles down the road, here comes jackass again and starts screwing around. I had to get off the damned freeway. Really pissed me off.

I get a lot of guys in trucks rev hard past me, I just look at them and laugh like I won 10 million pesos. They NO like it much hombres :icon17:

It's funny one time a Range Rover Supercharged tried his hardest on getting me to race him, once I did he had a sad face when I took him lol. Ohhh and let's not say the Cherokees SRT8 and the Trailblazer SS always trying Too LMAO

I've now had my nismo for 3 weeks now and I had no idea it would attract attention that it does. Every time I go to a gas station I get stared down, 2 mustangs have tried to race me already (I just got the damn thing, I'm not about to fvck around with it just yet), I was driving through a small town and an older guy with his family was next to me looking over and he kept saying wow with the biggest smile on his face, and the other day a kid was following me taking pics with his iPhone.

I can't imagine what you guys must go through that have a bright color like red


The best though was the other day a van, for some odd reason, got mad when I was passing him so he sped up and started doing like 90. He starts to pass this SUV on the right and the SUV gets pissed and starts racing him. They were hauling 100 down the road going neck and neck so naturally I sped up laughing behind them because I wanted to see what happened. The van eventually backed off before traffic got thicker. It made my day though knowing I was the catalyst for a SUV/minivan showdown.

I imagine some of you guys really enjoy the attention this car attracts, while some of you resent it ( maybe both in the same day by the same guy).

It is akin to being with a really hot girl. Of course she'll attract attention, stares, jealousy, anger, lust, etc.

well seeing as I am a chiq people think that I am driving my bf car...yeah right, he owns a 350z lol

You should put some kind of sticker on your Nismo that lets people know you're a girl and it's your car.

nismochiq 11-28-2011 04:21 PM

haven't found the right one yet. I usually like seeing peoples faces when they want to race me and I blow them out of the water. I just roll down the window and blow them a kiss lol

When you do, pls let me know!

Took my wife to test drive a regular 370, then she ended up drooling all over the nismo on the showroom floor and lost interest in the touring+sport that she just tested (she fixated on the nismo and smiled uncontrollably like she saw Brad Pitt). Ended up buying her a PW 09 nismo.

If there's a measurement called "attention/$", the nismo wins it hands down.

The best one I had was...a new black Camaro SS passed by on the fast lane, but the lil boy in the passenger seat climbed up, both palms on window, and couldn't stop staring at the Nismo as if he just saw Optimus Prime

I went to the dealership in SD and they had a NISMO there $5000 off making room for a GTR Im like uhh I want it lol and bought it right then and there

Funny enough, this usually works and most people just back off after seeing the car....or they just look like an idiot launching their car.

:icon18: i do this... its very funny

:roflpuke2:

I always get "is this YOUR car?" .. even had "really? its yours? I mean, it even has black rims."

Best is when you're passing a minivan or suv full of kids & the driver points the Z out.. obviously says "LOOK" to the kids.. all the kids' heads turn and watch you pass.

MJB 12-24-2011 03:15 PM

Today I was driving in town and got caught behind this RSX on a one lane road. The road split to two lanes and he slowed down even more. I knew he wanted me to pass him so he could try to get me to run, and sure enough as soon as I passed him in the next lane he took off. I just stayed at 35mph and he kept slowing down to get beside me and then he would speed off. What was sad is this idiot had two little boys in the car, one in the front seat and one in the back. Both of them couldn't have been more then 5 years old. The boys both kept looking back at me as they were taking off like a bat out of hell so you know they knew what dad was doing. People amaze me sometimes.

I get a lot of side glances and most dont look directly at it for some reason. Like they are afraid to look at it directly, except for the brothers that smile and give me the thumbs up. B8 S4 drivers drive by with their nose upturned at me. Bunch of dicks that hate anything not German. Glad I'm past that scene.

Gotta love it. Lots of that German-only stuff up here. It's especially sad when the typical DC/NOVA GTI driver thinks they are above you... :icon17:

Rusty 12-25-2011 12:42 PM

I've had mine now for almost a week. Every ricer in the area that goes by me either wants to race or they bounce it off of the rev limiter. I'm waitin' for one of them to blow it. :rofl2:

Shamu 12-26-2011 10:15 AM

How could anyone not want to stare at automotive greatness? Just as the great eagle the Nismo stands out from the flock of sparrows and gulls.

I like every angle of the Nismo, except for the side view of the front bumper. It looks too long and frankly, kind of awkward and ugly in my opinion:

BlackZeda 12-26-2011 08:26 PM

I get a lot of comments from all sorts of people at all sorts of locations...mostly at the gas station though. The I went downtown the first night I owned it and was chased down by a Lexus with three guys inside that apparently really, really liked my purchase from their thumbs-ups and comments.

The biggest appeal of the NISMO is it is a sexy car that has great performance and most of all it is attainable to own by most people.

What's the difference between a porcupine and a Porsche? The porcupine has the pricks on the outside :tiphat:

So many PW NISMOs around! Only a handful of the SR NISMO owners post somewhat regularly.

M1:

How is the GT treating you? My friend stationed in Germany is getting a 2013 GT soon and he is already talking that stuff.

Eagles:

Keep flying high and just let the dudes bounce off the rev limiter until they blow, lol. Either that or the cops will pick them up and admire you as you cruise by...............
