Considering saying goodbye to the Nismo

NissanGuy23 · 09-10-2014, 04:08 PM

Switching to a 5.0 is extremely common on this forum, many people have gone over to Mustang. Hardly anything new. However i think its strange you want something more practical so you switch to a torquey RWD car? A V8 Mustang isn't exactly a family car. (Or is it?). If i was in your situation i would get a second car, i personally bought a 2002 WRX for the extreme winters we have been having lately for $5,000, runs like a champ.

OP. Get yourself a second car. If you get rid of the Nismo. You will only kick yourself in the a$$ later for getting rid of it. Do like I did. I now have my own fleet of vehicles. The Nismo, Jeep GC TrailHawk, Ram PowerWagon, 41ft diesel motorhome, and 3 motorcycles. Of course, all of this was bought over a period of time.

My thoughts exactly. A boosted AWD car like an EVO or WRX are the only affordable cars I would consider instead of the Z. Plus, four doors and a trunk. Perfect family car.

No hate for the Mustang though, the Coyote engines are awesome!
