Dumb 370 Nismo demise rumors

Mental Block · 03-14-2009, 01:03 PM

The 370Z section of my350Z.com is full of people that are lost in their own little world. Even with glaringly obvious evidence and hard numbers, half of them still try and justify that the HR Z is just as fast as the 370Z.

Can't tell you how many times I have read "My brother works for Nissan......." on My350Z.
I wouldn't hold much water with this rumor Greg

I believe the 370z nismo r & d is complete and it's just a normal 370z with most likely, nismo suspension, body kit, extra welds, and front and rear dampener. I don't think nissan spent a lot of money in developing the nismo so there should be no worries of it being cancelled because the market is down. I think nissan only expects to sell a couple thousand nismo a year. It should be unveiled soon. Hopefully the bumper looks like the version 1.

I'm looking forward to this. A Nismo 370Z just might be my next car.

I'm anticipating that I won't be a real fan of the looks at first and it'll probably have to grow on me.

Tell me about it, I can't read any of their crap anymore. They started a thread "you gonna buy a 370?" It is hilarious. They are trashing the 370 right and left, everything from how "ugly" our car is to how "slow" we are. Bunch of whining kids who can't afford a 370 and the only way they can feel good is to dis the 370......... a few good rationalizations, no matter how untrue, can make you feel good about your position

I think you and I will see more "ex-my350" guys over here that have an open mind and hate the constant "fail" postings

Hmm maybe I should post my track slip from last friday night! Me and my stock 370Z vs a Black 350Z with intake and exhaust:

Me - 13.53 1/4 ET
Him - 15.06 1/4 ET

Hmm... something says they should focus more on learning to drive their cars as apposed to bashing ours!

Went up against a 07 Nismo 350Z at the auto-x this weekend, it wasn't even close, 2nd vs 11th. But then again I don't know his experience level. Also stomped a couple of Porsche's, some Suibbie's and several Corvette's.

Nice results, but I bet you had much more tire than the Nismo, and a much better tire at that. It's more about the driver regardless.

Did you ever auto-x on the stock tires?
