370Z - 50th Anniversary Edition

mike_370z · 04-11-2019, 10:30 PM

considering the changes they've done to the altima recently, i take it nissan is just trying to make an attempt for us to stop buying the Z by making it uglier with pointless "upgrades" compared to previous years. Think about it, most if not all of Z owners cringe with the direction they're taking the car. what better time to kill it off

I get the impression that the Z car has always had its options built in through the trim levels.

No need to offer upgraded parts... just upgrade to "Sport" or "Nismo" trims to get the parts you want.

Yes, it should be called the 10th anniv... not the 50th.

I disagree.

The only "real" difference between the base and Sport are the brakes and VLSD. The only "real" difference between the Sport and Nismo is a body kit.

Precisely why I went with the base and built it into my own. It will outperform ANY stock Nismo Z on the planet at a fraction of the cost of a new Nismo.

I could have easily bought a Nismo, but I wasn't willing to waste money on a bunch of junk I didn't want.

And to me, those "upgrades" aren't true upgrades to me.

Wrong, no syncro rev match for the base model. The Nismo does have additional rigidity added that you don't see and it also has a different suspension.

That's why I said the only "real" difference. I'm not talking about the slightly tuned Nismo suspension, and don't even consider the stupid syncro rev. That thing is totally useless unless you don't know how to drive.

Current 370z trims available:

Base = $30k
Heratige = $31k
Sport = $34k
Sport Touring = $38k
Nismo = $45k

Base is uh, basic
Sport adds $4,000 in performance upgrades
Touring adds $4,000 worth of interior upgrades
Nismo adds stiffness to the Sport goodies

Is there a reason this is on page 7?
