Considering saying goodbye to the Nismo

jcasti07 · 09-10-2014, 12:52 AM

I love my car and have since before I got it, but with kids a possibility around the corner I've been considering a four seater. I test drove a 2013 5.0 earlier today and I actually enjoyed it, so I may be looking into something like that or even the new 2015 mustang. Please, please, PLEASE talk some sense into me ladies and gents!

Traitor. There's a special place in Hell for you. I believe Dante listed it as the 9th Circle.

Open your door slowly at night... the Nissan Black Ops Team might show up in their stealth GT-R's to make an example of you...

Do what I did. Keep the Z (I have two... a 370Z and 240Z) and buy yourself a Hyundai Elantra 4 door. Great cars... my wife has one too!

What he said! I would consider keeping the Z and having a second car(4 door) for the family if you can afford it. One car cannot do everything well.

I have 2 cars, one the family and my Nismo for me

janglez · 09-10-2014, 08:58 AM

ditto on the 2nd car... the hyundai elantra is nicely equipped for the money and nice looking imo... my fiancé has one and she loves it

A Mustang? Really?

I get the family thing. It is why it took me ten years to get a Z. But a Mustang? Really? (You really can't say that enough in cases like this.)

You need to look at the G37 or Q50. Get a two door...but a rear seat!

jcasti07 · 09-10-2014, 10:45 AM

Haha thanks for that Nargrakhan. You guys' input is greatly appreciated. I'm in no hurry to make a decision, but this definitely gives me the perspective I needed.

My 2010 Nismo is at 68,000 miles and is daily driven.....It's the only way
to travel..............GL

Why give the OP crap if he wants to get rid of the Z? Maybe he isn't a Nissan fan boy like some of you guys. OP, those 5.0 Mustangs have a ton of performance. A bolt on and tuned Z would still get beat by a stock 5.0. Go for it, why not? I loved my Z as well, but I like to explore other options, not just stick to a Nissan.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

LOL, I agree, but I think the OP was looking for persuasion to stay here and with the 370Z

Oh, gotcha.... well in that case.... ummm, the Nismo looks cool

Lol. If you say you have a baby on the way, not sure what more to say. If you like the Nismo keep it, if you want back seats then explore other options.

That's a really good idea for OP. Gas savings, 4 doors, reliable
