New Nismo Owner

quicksilverCC

Hey all. I just wanted to make a thread to say hi and introduce myself. I've been lurking these forums for a bit now checking out everything since I recently bought a 2009 Nismo. It's my first sports car ever, even my first car ever that is manual, so it's been an experience. I come from driving a Jeep Wrangler and SUVs.

I wanted a nice sports car for a while and didn't want to go with a mustang since everyone and their mother has one around here (even my ex gf...she ruined Mustangs for me ). I was originally going to buy a Camaro SS until I went to a Nissan dealer with a friend who was buying an Altima. I saw a 370z there and asked to drive it. Once I drove one I knew I had to look into these more. I went and test drove a Camaro I liked but just didn't enjoy it as much as I did a 370z. Well I went online and found a Nismo for sale at a dealer that was only an hour away from me with just 13k miles. After I saw it I was sold. I'm hooked now.

I never drove a manual shift car but I figured if I can fly a plane, I'm pretty sure I can learn how to drive stick. I'm still not as smooth as I want to be but I'm pretty confident I will get there soon. I'm glad I could find these forums and share what we all have in common. I think this car is breaking me into a whole new hobby
