Any Nismo Owners Wish They Bought the Base with Sport Package Instead?

2011 Nismo#91 · 10-10-2012, 09:16 AM

I wouldn't be upset with either option. They both have their advantages to me.

I went in looking for either a Nismo in Black or Red or a Sport Touring in Blue with Persimmon interior.

its hard to beat the handling in a Nismo!

Sometimes i do wish i had bose/nav/heated persimmon seats. I was looking for a white sport touring nav persimmon, if it hadnt sold before i bought it i would have ended up with one.

You could have ordered one and waited for a few months.

Why would I want a sport package or base?

I was looking for a used one, new would have been a bit too expensive at 40k. Im happy with the nismo i always liked it more but thought it might be "a bit much" but im glad i went with it

tanamerra · 10-16-2012, 09:35 AM

No regrets at all with my 2010 Nismo.

Mine is probably cheaper than nismo.

The Nismo is the only 370Z model I would get, not crazy about the cat fish whiskers in the front bumper of the base model.

I wasn't a Nissan fan until I stumble and met Mr Nismo!

Im happy with my choice. The fact that its NOT a me to car and everyone has one but by having a #car over a non #car any day.
I think a closer poll would be 40th vs Nismo. Cause I pled the 5th. Lol

Well I don't regret it for a base package with sport or touring with sport, I do regret it cause I could have gotten an e55 amg v8 kompressor for 3k less than my nismo but that was a month after I got the car.

I love my nismo but I'd take an E55 AMG Mercedes over my nismo any day.

Shamu · 11-10-2012, 04:40 PM

Yeah Nismo is a bit of a waste. Once I replaced the sport brakes, replaced Nismo shocks and springs, replaced Nismo wheels, replaced Nismo sway bars, replaced Nismo seats, replaced Nismo steering wheel, replaced Nismo shifter , removed chassis dampers I really started to enjoy the car. Lol!

Great thing is I was able to sell all that stuff for thousands.
