thats an excellent way to put it. people forget the nismo isnt actually the most expensive Z. The sport/nav is really close, and the sport/nav convert is more. to each his own. for me its exclusivity, you can put as many aftermarket parts as you want on your normal Z and it will never be one of the 500 per year nismo models. Or the probably 20 sold in magma red "discontinued" :tiphat: so as far as numbers go, my 13 mag red nis is more rare than a ferrari 458 italia....... ****, bad example, they made thousands of those....... think of a super rare 2 digit car. I cant.

Maybe more rare color wise, but it's still a 458 and you are driving a 370Z. :icon17:

I love my Nismo... but I'd still set it on fire if it got me into a 458.

As for super rare 2 digit car... Juke-R, there's what like 6 of them?

Set it on fire to get into a 458 which would then catch fire?

lol, the 458 only catches fire when you drive it. 60% of its owners are so rich they just buy it as a garage weight.

yeah i think they only made 3 juke R's or something.

but even not focusing just on color alone the nismo supposedly has a limited production of 500 per year and im pretty sure they have never made/sold the production limit. no clue, dont even know if thats worldwide, or per region. that being said would you rather cruise around in a vette? when you see 65 of them EVERY SINGLE DAY? or how about a mustank? or a slowmaro? I would take a 458 too...... its a different class of car, but I for one am quite proud of the fact that I see another nismo maybe once every 5-6 months at random. And every time I drive it, drivers of every "better" car cruising around here pratically break their necks to look at it on its way by with the DAMN wtf is that? look on their face. priceless.

I wouldn't mind owning a C7 Vette, I don't care how many I see a day. Plus it would blow the doors off a Z :driving:

Depends on the area you live in. Around here, I see them quite frequently. I'd say I'd see another one or two at least every few days. Granted seeing another car only once or twice a day still isn't much compared to a Mustang or something like that.

Then again I didn't buy the car for exclusivity. The "500" is per region I think and as others have stated I think it's closer to 1000 for the cap. I agree with MJB, the C7 is a hell of a car... if everyone had one it still wouldn't diminish its capabilities and I'd still drive one til the wheels fell off.

Yep...I love Vetts. The first one I ever drove was back in 1975. It was a 72 Stingray and so the nostalgia factor of the C7 and its up scaled performance package it is pretty hard not to love. I considered it, but even though I can do it, it just didn't make sense dollar wise! :mad:
