370z Sport vs Nismo 370z

"Actually, it does the rev downshift with way too much throttle blip."

So matching the revs perfectly for the lower gear is 'way too much'? All credibility of this review is now history...as it if wasn't when you first laid eyes on this guy.

"... generates downforce. 150 ft-lb in the back..."

Last I remember, down FORCE is measured in units of FORCE, like lb(sub f), N, etc... lb-ft is a measure of torque, force applied over a moment arm.

Dumbass.

I did not know the American Pie dad did car reviews... but now I do.

To me the nismo is not worth the extra money you pay vs the sports package.
nissan should have done more to the car than it did.

example the z06 vette vs a regular or stock vette there is a ton a difference
worth the extra cash.

that guy is such a herb.

Those dyno numbers are awfully high for a stock trim. Plus they can't even break 13s in the Base Z.

Re: What are you guys more interested in 1/4 mile or lap times?

Lap times. Otherwise I would have bought a Challenger or some other car that only goes in straight lines.

Only the SRT8 Challenger is .2 seconds faster than our car 0-60, the R/T or base isn't even close

on the street .2 faster doesn't count. plus our cars are 10 times better looking.
hard to a price on the cool factor.

The Nismo is worth it. C&D i think is the only review that had problems with the Nismo. All the others sing praises about it. But for shear performance #'s probably not worth it. If that's what you want if that is what makes your decision then no its not worth it. BUT if you consider everything else........IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY. If you find a Nismo park next to it and then have ppl come by and see which one they are more interested in. The 370 is a great car the nismo is a great car. They could have given it a little more HP in lieu of Nav and leather which I don't get because the Japanese version of the Nismo has leather and nav and a little more tricked out tune than the regular one. You can always do more to any car to get more out of it so it's relative.
