Trading in GTR for a 370z

Jeffblue

if you are gonna put all that money into modding the car, i dont see the point in starting with a nismo. i think you should go Touring/sport/nav so you get all the creature comforts and with the TT kit you'll have a beast of a car to boot.

I tried to search and read about the differences with the Nismo... slight power bump (insignificant), kit, suspension, exhaust, wheels, interior. Is there anything else I'm missing? I read somewhere it doesn't have nav or leather or heated seats?

and I may have to skip NAV if I want a 2010 black here in Canada... I originally wanted a 40th anniversary but it's all gone.

HKYStormFront

yea i'd say you'd end up replacing everything about it being a nismo if you got one. i'd just get a touring sport and go from there

wow that's for your feedback guys. I won't be getting the Nismo.

Jeffblue

what trim level/color do you want?

Nitrouz

Ideally a 40th anniversary.

Since there is none left in Canada, I want a 2010 Black 6mt fully loaded.

Since there is none left in canada in the above specs with nav, I may have to either:

1) go with out nav and install aftermarket, or
2) go blue or gunmetal.

The dealership is now checking the inventory for blue or gunmetal for me and will call me back today or tomorrow.

IIRC, the 40th didn't have the NAV as an option, although I might be totally wrong?

BennytheBlade

Yeah given your past hx of modding, the nismo would be a waste of money
W/ the 40th you still get the cool factor of a limited/collector edition but aren't throwing money at stuff u will probably replace.

I personally like the color-scheme and that is the only way to get the red seats in a Z unless you find someone with a 40th who wants to swap you for some wierd reason. I love the color-scheme.

Damn GTR is so lame, I roast them on highway rolls because their stupid automatics are hunting for gears.

Pretty much, it won't do "skip-gear" downshifts like most DCT's or even the slush-box in an A6 vette. It has to go down through each and every gear above the gear it needs before it gets there. It won't just hop to it. Huge downside, unless of course you hardcore guys like rolling around in 4th all the time, lol.

This doesn't hurt so much on the track, but in daily driving when you want to punch it on the freeway, I can imagine it would get very frustrating.

m4a1mustang

Well, FWIW, on any highway encounter I bet you the GTR will be in the correct gear.
