From what I have heard the new challenger is having a hard time hooking the tires and is so heavy it has a hard time pulling up top too. I have not looked into it myself, but this is what is going around the drag strip. I actually like the looks of the car. Looks closer to the original resto's they are doing lately

I'd like to see the Hell Cat do anything impressive that doesn't involve moving in a straight line.

I agree with what was said before. Comparing a Hell Cat to a C7 is apples to oranged. I would say the same about a Nismo to a Hell Cat.

What does a Hellcat have to do with a Nismo?

Nissan Note Nismo? Really???

If Nissan is going to give every model the Nismo treatment, why not make each one unique looking? Other than GT-R or Z owners, most other Nissan owners or potential Nissan buyers don't even know what Nismo is. Nismo is all about performance, so why not keep it for Nissan's peformance line up? I doubt somebody who is in the market for a Note or Sentra or other cheap affordable Nissan car would want to pay a few thousand more for the Nismo upgrades. Whatever, my next car isn't going to be a Nissan anyways.

* Oh, for whats its worth, I think the new Nismo Z is ugly! 09-14 Nismo Z FTW!

I thought each car -- because of it's engine and purpose -- would require a different shaped body to best harness it's potential... but I guess Nissan thinks not. The NISMO Note looks like a hatchback NISMO Z.

What I'm really amused about, is that NISMO parts are waaaaaaay overcharged by Nissan. So when someone who did spend a little extra for his NISMO Note gets in an accident, he might be in for a little surprise when the shop gives him a parts quote (or the guy that rear ended him).

I guess Nissan really thinks there's people out there who need a garage full of NISMO. Pick up the kids in the NISMO Note. The wife drives the NISMO Sentra. You drive the NISMO 370Z to work and use the NISMO Juke for rainy days. The NISMO GT-R is for those secret nights when seeing the sexy mistress.

I think I'm with you if toyota release that ft1 I will be done with Nissan as well. It's bad when my lightly modded 350z was more fun and more reliable then my 2013 nismo Z. I know they cheaped out on some parts and just made the car have way more blind spots.

At the rate that Nissan is going, Nismo will end up becoming the new base model...

I couldn't have said it any better...

I checked out the link for the new Nismo and just realized in the interior pics that all the brushed aluminum accents are now flat black.
Check it out for yourself.

Not cool if you ask me. I like all my brushed aluminum accents and the flat black looks cheap and plain.

Awesome find KrisL. Thanks for posting it.

Ya know, the more I stare at the front of the new NISMO, the more I'm bothered by it. I'm thinking Nissan made the red stripe too thick. Maybe if it was thinner... or had a black line running down the middle. Probably just me. It's an easy enough modification, either way.

I'm also unnerved how NISMO is "cut and pasting" this body kit design on everything Nissan.

Maybe I'm just getting cold feet and second thoughts about buying this. Still another weeks to decide I suppose. Seems like Nissan is waiting until the last day of the month. -_-

What if it was grey like 2014? (not shopped by me)

I feel that way too. I do like the way it looks, but the idea that the same theme is being repeated across all nismo cars bother me a little.

aszyd · 07-23-2014, 07:40 PM

Meh, a good number of companies put similar front ends on all of their cars. It's just corporate design language.

shurik355 · 07-23-2014, 07:47 PM

Im waiting for this bumper to put on my 40th Z. I like the front. Looks nice! a lot busier and more aggressive then any Z previous bumper. Plus I think the red lip will go nicely with my 40th anniversary scheme
