370Z - 50th Anniversary Edition

Ventruck

I know there was a local listing for a used Z that did the same thing with the roof/hood/hatch. While I do try to respect people's tastes, that's one of those things I just can't understand at all.

Couldn't really expect much out of this 50th. I mean I don't think Nissan is banking on the idea of trying to win back former owners or have current ones re-buy. They're just trying whatever....edgy ways they can to make use of all the leftover parts — which will be great for us trying to keep our Z's running for much longer down the road.

For someone who can't heel/toe, sure it's a "nice" features. For those of us who can, it's not. Looking terrible without the spoiler is a matter of opinion.


Akebono brakes is the only true worthwhile upgrade the Sports package offers the buyer. It's a good upgrade, not a "huge amount of performance". And my setup is much better for a lot less with the parts I wanted.


My brother had the manual Sport package, and I drove it loads of times. Even with both cars in bone stock form, I preferred my base, which is just one of my reasons as to why I purchased the base to begin with.

As to the resent... Yeah, I don't think so.

Yes, hence my comment “but that’s my opinion”, as you have stated yours about sports package owners superiority.....

Rusty

Then Nismo owners shouldn't talk to you.

You haven’t lived until you wave to a bunch of Harley’s while riding your BMW.

Nevermind that I owned 2 Harley’s AND the BMW...

What's fun. Filling up your RC51 1000 V Twin at a gas station and having a bunch of HD's pull in to get gas too. After filling, punch the start button and have the RC51 bark to life. You want to see a bunch of HD heads turn and look your way. Oh.....you can hear that RC51 having a V Twin rumble.

For you, the sports package wasn't worth it. You made modifications to the elements that you felt were most worthwhile and saved some money. Well done.

The fact still remains that the sports packages is an objectively excellent value for the performance upgrades over the base model. This is clear when you compare it to equivalent modifications and not just discount half the upgrades because you don't find them worthwhile.

You have no basis for arguing that your setup is better when you don't have all the sport package parts installed. Apples to oranges. 6MT w/ rev-match > 6MT w/o rev-match. Period. Regardless of whether you find the feature useful or not.

As someone who can heel toe I can understand why the “purists” think the rev match feature is silly. Personally I love it! If I ever feel the need to heel toe, I can turn it off. Problem solved.

Jeez, it’s not like manually shifting an automatic!
