How much attention does your Nismo get?

EagleTime · 07-19-2013, 09:01 AM

I had a Lotus Elise and EVERYONE will ask/take pictures. They would take my picture more than Vipers even. Im thinking about buying a white Nismo. Will it get THAT much attention?

Not as much as an Elise...

Now if the nismo you get has 662hp then it's a different story

Did a trackday yesterday. After my first session was over. I had a lot of people come over and ask me about the Nismo. As I'm the only Z tracking at Pittsburgh International that I know of. Going down the front straight in 4th at 8,000 rpm, then braking for T1, catching a down shift with the revmatch is pure music with LTH's and the whole FI exhaust.

Sorry to be nitpicky, but isn't the 370 (and Nismo) rev limited to 7500rpm?

You can raise it with a tune.

Come out of T11 in 3rd. Shift to 4th at 7400~7600 rpm. Hold to 8,000 rpm because soon as I hit 8,000 rpm. I'm hard on the brakes for T1. Soon as the rpms drop down to about 5,000 rpms. Down shift to 3rd. Still hard on the brakes.

Family is at yogibear park in Waller, tx... Lots of kids around and every kid that saw me had to pick up their jaws after I passed

. Everyone seems to think it looks like the Batmobile... I sense a theme coming lol

Same here. My Nismo is my daily, and Kansas City has wickedly weird weather. So it has a tendency to always be dirty (I gave up washing it every day) because it's always exposed to the elements. Regardless, even when it's not looking its best, I get stares. Magnetic Black is impossible to keep clean, but the good thing is from ten feet out and further, you don't see dirt.

Two weeks ago-
Guy in his late teens at gas pump: That's a wicked machine, I bet I could beat you off the line.
Me: (I look over at his beat up late 80s chevy S-10) I bet you probably could, but I doubt you could beat me going around a corner. (I'm all grown up nowadays, and don't street race anyways.)
Guy: Is that a Z? That thing looks like a beast, be sure to take good care of her (while completely ignoring his girlfriend in the passenger seat).
Me: I will, you do the same. (Her being the jealous looking girl next to him.)

I think he totally missed what I was saying. You'd have thought he'd never seen a car before.

LOL I'm amazed I never see you either, and you're literally around the corner from me.

I dipped the hamburger, so it's hard to tell is a Nissan. Makes people have to look twice before they figure it out.

Hell I was just in Blue Springs today going down 7hwy. Traffic on I-70 is starting to scare me now with the new front end.
