Car and Driver Crashes a Nismo 370Z

Technik330

I believe the Nismo specific parts would be the Nismo suspension, body/chassis dampers, exhaust, "tune/ecu," strut brace, and aero. That's a bit more than two pieces.

That's aside from the "sport brakes" and Advan tires-

That's a lot of additions for a "street/non-track ready car"

Sorry I did forget about the suspension upgrade.
Aero kit is not a big item for track in my view in this discussion.
"Sport brakes" are not track brakes
Advan tires have actually been shown to be on par on lower than the RE50 in some tests.

So we are still at exhust/tune, suspension, not really anything that will make your car track ready in my eyes or even has been mentioned by Nissan as being track ready.

Then they should not call it "Nismo"

"Support from the factory means that every NISMO component is thoroughly engineered and rigorously tested to ensure a seamless fit and
outstanding performance mile after mile. Whether you’re a Z driver aiming to outrun Porsches around a track or an Altima driver who wants to sharpen its street-ready edge, NISMO stands ready to take your Nissan to the next level."

All good, no reason to apologize. Any way you look at it, is it really a stretch to imagine the Nismo Z as Nissan's shot a weekend track car? I think it'd be a stretch not to view it that way.

I mean if not, why use a base 370z as a platform for the flagship 370 Z? Why not offer a leather interior, navi, or a better stereo?

If not to cut out weight, maybe cost?

i don't think the nismo is the flagship 370z because when fully equipped, it costs significantly less than other models.

I should've been more specific with my comment. I believe the Nismo, or at least as advertised, to be "the performance" 370z. Taking my point in to context, I believe it's possible to call the Nismo 370z the flagship 370z, in terms of performance.
